3.6 2.4G Wireless Control

The CB60 RGB features a built-in 2.4G system for wireless control without the app.

1. Set all lights you wish to control to the same 2.4G channel (99 channels available).
2. Any one light within 66'/20m can act as a remote control for other compatible NEEWER lights (e.g., SL90, RGB1, RGB C80, RGB 1200) set to the same channel.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

• Ensure the light is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the light.
• For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Keep the COB LED surface clean and free of dust to maintain optimal light output.

4.2 Heat Dissipation and Overheat Protection

The CB60 RGB features an ultra-silent fan and a metal shell for effective heat dissipation.

• The built-in fan operates at a low speed during normal use to ensure quiet operation.
• If the light reaches a high temperature, the fan speed will automatically increase to enhance cooling.
• The device includes overheat protection. If the internal temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C), the light will enter overheat protection mode to prevent damage. Allow the unit to cool down before resuming operation.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the light during operation; do not block the vents.

4.3 Storage

Store the light in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity when not in use. Use the original packaging or a protective case for transport and storage.

5. Troubleshooting

• Light does not turn on:
    - Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the light and the power outlet.
    - Ensure the power outlet is functional.
• App control not working:
    - Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
    - Make sure the NEEWER App is updated to the latest version.
    - Restart the light and your mobile device.
    - Ensure the light is within the 49'/15m control range.
• 2.4G wireless control not working:
    - Verify that all lights are set to the same 2.4G channel.
    - Ensure lights are within the 66'/20m control range.
• Light enters overheat protection:
    - This is a safety feature. Allow the light to cool down.
    - Ensure the vents are not obstructed and there is adequate airflow around the unit.
    - Reduce the output power if operating in a high ambient temperature environment.
• Inaccurate color reproduction:
    - Ensure the COB LED surface is clean.
    - Check the CRI/TLCI ratings for the light. The CB60 RGB has high CRI 97+ and TLCI 98+ for accurate colors.
