Notes:
- Due to continuous improvement efforts, specifications are subject to change without notice.
- To maintain IP rating of the unit, it must be installed with a IP65/NEMA 4X fitting at the power and ethernet entry points.
- The AirMesh Hub holds a rating of IP65 for outdoor when the door is latched and all entry ports (power and Ethernet) are properly sealed. Failure to properly seal entry ports and latch the door will void the IP65 rating.
- Refer to the functionality of your Ephesus fixture for health monitoring capability.
- Cellular and/or data charges may apply.

Diagram Description: The diagram shows a system topology for wireless AirMesh controls. It depicts internet-connected devices allowing secure access to the lighting system controls web page or web application. This connects to an AirMesh Hub, which then communicates wirelessly with multiple Ephesus Luminaires via a mesh network.

AirMesh Dynamic Scenes
The AirMesh Hub control system can provide dynamic scenes and effects. You can easily create an unlimited combination of static scenes. For example, create scenes to spotlight national anthems, player introductions, intermissions, blackout your venue, maintenance and egress lighting scenes.

Paparazzi [Standard & Fast]¹
Each light illuminates briefly in a random manner that resembles paparazzi flash bulbs. When entering this mode, all fixtures will immediately turn OFF. Fast paparazzi fires faster than standard paparazzi.
Diagram Description: A sequence of diagrams shows lights turning on and off in a random, flashing pattern, simulating paparazzi flashes. The sequence illustrates the effect of the Paparazzi scene.
Pinwheel
The outer LED modules on each fixture illuminate individually and rapidly in a rotating manner. When entering this mode, the center LED module on each fixture will turn OFF. All but one of the four outer LED modules will turn off. Every 100 milliseconds, the next LED module (clockwise) will turn on to 100% and the previous LED module will turn off.
Diagram Description: A series of diagrams depicts a rotating light effect. One outer LED module is lit, then it turns off as the next one clockwise illuminates, creating a pinwheel motion.
Pinwheel 5
All LED modules on each fixture illuminate individually and rapidly in a rotating manner. When entering this mode, all but one of the outer LED modules will turn off. Every 100 milliseconds, the next LED module (clockwise) ending with the center LED module will turn on to 100% and the previous LED module will turn off.
Diagram Description: Similar to the Pinwheel scene, this shows a rotating light effect, but it includes the center LED module in the rotation. The sequence shows one module at a time illuminating and then turning off as the next one in sequence lights up.
Sparkle [Standard & Fast]²
Each light illuminates briefly in a random manner mimicking a glittery, sparkling appearance. When entering this mode, all fixtures will immediately turn ON. Fast Sparkle fires more rapidly than standard sparkle.
Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrate a sparkling effect where lights flash on and off randomly. The sequence shows multiple lights turning on briefly and then off, creating a twinkling or sparkling appearance.
Random
Lights illuminate throughout the installation in a random manner. All fixtures will immediately turn ON to a random dimming level between 0 and 100%. Every 100 milliseconds, each fixture will change to another random dimming level.
Diagram Description: A sequence of diagrams shows lights randomly turning on and off at varying brightness levels. The illustration depicts a dynamic and unpredictable lighting pattern.
Footnotes:
- Unless otherwise stated for a particular scene affects independently and the scene will remain in operation until another scene or mode of operation is selected.
- For each flash period, a light will have a 10% chance of turning on under Paparazzi, and a 20% chance under Fast Paparazzi.
- For each flash period, a light will have a 10% chance of turning on under Sparkle, and a 20% chance under Fast Sparkle.
