Your LIGHTBRUSH
®
colour light system is ready for use after you have installed and
correctly connected the master and slave modules as previously described. Before
operating the units and designing your own colour programs please ensure that the
power plug is plugged in.
Basic Features:
Your Lightbrush
®
colour-light-system is ready for use after plug-in. The system will
rest in stand-by-mode and can be switched on/off by remote control (button
ON/
OFF
).
Even if the system is unplugged or a power failure takes place, your personal settings
and programs will not be deleted. The microprocessor is equipped with a
memory
function
that will preserve the most recent settings and programs. When you switch
the system on it will start up in the last operation mode.
The universal
Remote Control
(part # 09918100) is compatible with all Lightbrush
®
Systems. It is necessary for controlling and programming. Direct your remote control
close to your colour light system [no hyphens]. When you press a button, a short
acoustic signal (beep) will sound to confirm that your command is received. If there
is no acoustic signal, your command can not be executed because you have already
reached maximum or minimum settings. For example: you push the button
BRIGHT
several times until maximum brightness is reached. If you keep on pushing
BRIGHT
there will be no acoustic signal because brightness cannot be increased anymore.
If there is no acoustic signal at all, please make sure that your Lightbrush
®
system is
plugged in and power is switched on. Please hold the remote control close enough to
the system and point directly towards it.

How to Configure Lightbrush
®
for Evenly Distributed Illuminations
For the colour illumination of an area, certain aspects should be considered during
planning/installation:
the depth of the housing
the transparency of the front pane
the number of modules
It is important that the 16.7 million colour shades of the LIGHTBRUSH
®
RGB system
have an even and colour-homogenous appearance.
no shadow formation
no detection of individual fluorescent lamps
1. The ideal housing depth ranges between 300 and 400 mm.
The housing depth
equals the distance between the back and the front pane (such as Plexiglas with a
47% transparency, film or gauze).
Smaller depths (such as 200 mm) are possible, but this would require
more
modules
for even illumination.
2. Formular for Determinig the Number of Required
LIGHTBRUSH
®
RGB-Module
Housing depth x 0.8 = distance between modules
(distance to be measured from module centre to module centre)
The following example demonstrates that the required number of RGB modules
for an area of 2,000 x 2,000 mm depends on the housing depth:
2.1 Housing depth
200 mm
x 0.8 = 160 mm distance,
consequently,
12 Modules
1,500 mm are required for a 2,000 x 2,000 mm
area.
2.2 Housing depth
300 mm
x 0.8 = 240 mm distance,
consequently,
8 Modules
1,500 mm are required for a 2,000 x 2,000 mm
area.
2.3 Housing depth
400 mm
x 0.8 = 320 mm distance,
consequently,
6 Modules
1,500 mm are required for a 2,000 x 2,000 mm
area.
2.4 Housing depth
500 mm
x 0.8 = 400 mm distance,
consequently,
4 - 5 Modules
1,500 mm are required for a 2,000 x 2,000 mm
area.
With increased housing depths and less RGB modules, the light intensity of the area
illumination will decrease accordingly. A certain number of modules should be
considered. In our example, optimum results are obtained with a housing depth of
400 mm
and a total of
6 LIGHTBRUSH
®
RGB modules
(2.3).
