DMX Mapping
Dimmer Wheel
The luminaire is equipped with a graduated glass dimmer wheel. The dimmer wheel allows for smooth
timed fades from full light output to absolute black.
Color Control
The luminaire’s color system is composed of a color mixing mechanism and a fixed color wheel. The
follow sections describe these components.
Color Mixing
The color mixing mechanism is made up of four graduated color disks: cyan, yellow, magenta and
CTO (color temperature orange). These disks provide full-spectrum color crossfades from pastel to
saturated color.
