Boost
Boost provides the brightest possible output, with least guarantee of consistency. This is
best for applications with low duty cycles, loose brightness requirements, or where ambient
temperature is low.
Step 1: On the Advanced Menu, scroll to LED Settings.
Step 2: Press [ ].
Step 3: With Output selected, press [ ] to toggle between the options.
Step 4: Press [ ] or [ ] to commit the option.
Curve
The dimming curve, commonly called curve, is the correlation between the change in the
value of the dimming control signal and the actual change in the fixture's brightness. Curve
is also the extent to which the fixture lags in its response time to the control signal in order
to facilitate smoothness in dimming.
Standard
Standard is a modest curve for intuitive brightness changes at both high and low ends of
the dimming range. Moderate lag in response for good smoothness. It allows quick jumps
in brightness. Suitable for most applications.
Incandescent
Exaggerated curve mimics the response of tungsten on a conventional dimmer. Lag is quite
pronounced and present even in full on or off bumps. Extreme smoothness with no instant
changes. Best when fixtures must operate in sync with incandescent sources.
N o t e : In all Output settings, if the fixture gets too warm and internal components
approach unsafe operating temperatures, the total power to the LED array is
gradually reduced and proportionate brightness levels between the various colors
of LEDs are maintained as much as possible in order to preserve the overall color
mix; however, some minor shifts in output may occur. Power continues to ramp
down as much as necessary until internal fixture components return to a safe
temperature. The fixture displays a warning message on the home screen
indicating that power budgeting is in place, showing the percent of total power that
is currently used.
If the fixture exceeds its maximum internal temperature, the fixture enters a cool-
down state, stops responding to the control signal, and it shuts down most or all
power to the LED array and displays its over-temperature status according to its
setting for over-temperature warning.
