Press the Mode Button to cycle through the available control modes:

• Rotate Mode: Brightness is adjusted using the compound knob.
• Master Mode: Brightness is adjusted using the compound knob.
• Slave Mode: The channel can be adjusted by the compound knob. When the channels of the Slave light and the Master light are the same, they can be synchronously controlled by the Master light.
• APP Mode: The channel can only be adjusted by the compound knob. The light can also be controlled via the GVM LED mobile application.
• DMX Mode: Connect to a DMX console and adjust settings through it.

Adjust Brightness (BRG):

• In Rotate Mode or Master Mode: Turn the compound knob to adjust brightness.

• In APP mode: Connect to the APP and change the channel number via the application.

APP Control:

To use APP control, set the mode to APP mode, turn on the GVM LED phone APP, find the Bluetooth device named "BT_LED", and connect. After successful connection, the video light can be controlled through the APP. If a slave light is connected, the APP will synchronously control it if it shares the same channel as the master light.

Note: Do not pair via the system Bluetooth page. Directly open the APP and establish the Bluetooth system pairing connection.

DMX Control:

Connect the DMX console to the video light using a DMX cable. Set both the light and the DMX console to the same channel to enable control.

Adjust Scene (SC):

Scene modes are only accessible through the APP or RF. There are 8 available scenes: Lightning, Strobe, Candle, TV, Bad Bulb, Explosion, Fireworks, and Paparazzi.

• In Slave mode, if the channel parameters of the slave lamp and the RF remote control are the same, the scene lighting effect can be adjusted via the RF remote control (sold separately).
• In DMX mode, connect to the DMX console and adjust the scene through it.

Online Control (Joint Control Between Lamps):

• To control multiple lights together, set one light as the master and the others as slaves. Ensure all lights are set to the same channel. You can then control the brightness of the slaved lights by adjusting the master light, synchronizing them.
• Alternatively, connect the APP to the master light to control the slaved lights.

APP Control Details

1. Scan the QR code on the back of the manual to download the APP.
2. Turn on the light, switch to APP mode. Ensure phone Bluetooth and APP Bluetooth permissions are enabled (Android requires GPS and APP positioning permission). Open the "GVM LED" application, navigate to the Bluetooth search interface (Figure 1). Find the Bluetooth device named "BT_LED" and click the connect button. After a successful connection, the APP control interface (Figures 2, 3) will automatically load, allowing control of the connected light. If a slave unit is present, it will be synchronously controlled if it shares the same channel as the master unit.
3. You can save up to 6 custom light effects in "My Scenes". After setting the desired light effect parameters, click the "[save icon]" icon in the right corner, select "Save Current Scenes" from the pop-up, and click "OK". The saved light effect will be found in "My Scenes". (Figure 4)
