Linking and Unlinking Remotes

Linking a Remote

  1. Turn off the light for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
  2. Within 3 seconds, press the [Link button] 3 times.
  3. Successful pairing is indicated by the light flashing slowly 3 times.

If pairing fails (indicator light does not flash), repeat the steps. Note: Re-linking is not possible if the remote has already been paired.

Unlinking a Remote

  1. Turn off the light for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
  2. Within 3 seconds, press the [Link button] 5 times.
  3. Successful unlinking is indicated by the light flashing quickly 10 times.

If unlinking fails (indicator light does not flash quickly), repeat the steps. Note: If lights are not yet paired, unlinking is not necessary.

Automatic Transmission & Synchronization

Automatic Signal Transmission

A Master unit can forward the remote signal to another Master unit within 30 meters. If a Master unit is within 30m, the remote control range becomes unlimited.

Automatic Dynamic Mode Synchronization

Multiple lights can synchronize if they are in the same dynamic mode and paired with the same remote control (distance between lights should be within 30 meters).

Dynamic Mode Selection

Dynamic Mode Selection Table 1 (Default, for remote control):

To select Dynamic Mode 1: While the light is in static mode, quickly press the [S+ button] five times until the blue indicator light flashes slowly three times. The static mode is now activated.

2.4G RF Remote Control Activation/Deactivation

To activate 'Do Not Disturb':

Press the [OFF button] three times within 3 seconds, then press the [ON button] three times. Successful activation is confirmed by the LED flashing quickly four times.

Note when 'Do Not Disturb' is active:

  • If the light is turned OFF (e.g., via app or remote), it will turn OFF. To turn it back ON, it requires two power cycles (off/on) or using the app/remote to activate it.
  • If the light is turned ON, it will remain ON after one power cycle (off/on).

To deactivate 'Do Not Disturb':

Press the [ON button] three times within 3 seconds, then press the [OFF button] three times. Successful deactivation is confirmed by the LED flashing slowly four times.

Note after deactivation: The light will always be in the 'ON' state after deactivating 'Do Not Disturb' and cycling power.

App Control for 'Do Not Disturb' Mode

The 'Do Not Disturb' mode can also be controlled via the app. Navigate to the device settings, select 'More', then 'Power-on behavior', and toggle 'Do Not Disturb' on or off.
