5. Setup
5.1 Mounting
The LF105 can be mounted on a truss, wall, or placed on a flat surface. Ensure the mounting location is stable and can support the fixture's weight (3.55 kg). Use appropriate clamps or screws for secure installation. The fixture features a 360° adjustable angle for flexible positioning.
5.2 Power Connection
Connect the provided power cord to the 'POWER IN' port on the rear of the fixture. For multiple units, utilize the 'POWER OUT' port for daisy-chaining up to 14 devices, simplifying cable management.

5.3 DMX Connection
For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller to the 'DMX IN' port of the first fixture. To connect additional fixtures, use a DMX cable from the 'DMX OUT' port of the first fixture to the 'DMX IN' port of the next, and so on.
6. Operating Modes
The LF105 offers several control modes, accessible via the onboard display and buttons (MENU, UP, DOWN, ENTER) or an external DMX controller.
6.1 Control Panel Navigation
Use the 'MENU' button to cycle through main settings, 'UP' and 'DOWN' to adjust values or select options, and 'ENTER' to confirm.

6.2 DMX512 Mode
Connect a DMX controller to unlock advanced control over individual pixels, colors, dimming, and strobe effects. The LF105 supports 8, 9, or 15 DMX channels, allowing for precise customization of lighting shows.
6.3 Master-Slave Mode
Link multiple LF105 units together. Set one unit as the 'Master' and others as 'Slaves'. The slave units will mirror the master's settings and effects, creating synchronized lighting displays.
6.4 Sound-Active Mode
The fixture responds to ambient sound and music, creating dynamic light patterns that synchronize with the beat. Adjust sensitivity via the control panel.
6.5 Auto Mode
The LF105 features built-in automated programs for various lighting effects, including static colors, gradual changes, pulse changes, and chasing effects. These can be selected and run without an external controller.
