Doug Fleenor Design LED100 Wireless Battery Power Supply for Color Kinetics

Doug Fleenor Design LED100 Wireless Battery Power Supply for Color Kinetics

The LED100 supplies power and data for up to two Color Kinetics ColorBlast LED fixtures or Altman Spectra PARs as well as Color Kinetics iColor Cove, and similar products. The LED100 also features a DMX512 output to drive additional DMX512 devices. The LED100 eliminates the need to set the DMX address of the lighting fixture (ColorBlast or Spectra PAR) by re-patching the incoming DMX. All fixtures can be left at the default address of '001'. The desired DMX address is then set at the LED100. The fixture plugged into output 1 responds to the three DMX channels starting with the selected address.
