Tap the + button (Add Scene): after selecting the button color, the parameters are automatically 

saved on the scene. 

WARNING: because Luminair only offers 10 colour codings, which do not correspond to the loaded 

colours, we have chosen GREY for all buttons. You can modify these settings if desired. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Any change to the colour levels made when a colour (scene) is selected/active will automatically be 

recorded into that scene. Switching between (colours) scenes will automatically recall the levels last 

auto-saved into the newly selected scene. Luminair will fade between colours based upon the fade 

time assigned to that colour scene. Tap on the scene’s name label to access the scene details view. 

To avoid undesired or accidental changes to the stored colours, always make sure you recall the 

Scenes

 view from  the main app toolbar. 

 

To delete a stored colour (scene), tap and hold on the scene’s name label and press
