FireFly FF-151 Instructions 

And Specifications  

 

 

QUICK START 

 

If you prefer to start using your new FF-151 straight out of the box, then read the 
instructions later, it’s quite easy to be up and running in just minutes. Three easy 
steps are all that are necessary for professional lightning simulation. 

 

1)

 

Connect lights (up to 2,000 for lightning or 1,000 watts in the dimming 

mode) to the power outlet on the rear of your FF-151.  

 

2)

 

Connect an appropriate audio source (CD player, laptop, MP3 player, etc.) to 

the AUDIO INPUT jack on the rear panel. Then connect an amplifier and/or 
amplified speakers to the 1/8” stereo AUDIO OUTPUT jack on the rear of the 

lightning simulator. Even though this is a single channel device, you should 
ALWAYS USE STEREO CABLES. 

 

3)

 

Connect AC power.  

 
No other connections or adjustments are required for basic operation. 

 
 

WHEN POWERING UP… 

 

Upon power up, the FF-151 goes through a quick self-test and the Lights Alive logo 
appears. After roughly three seconds, the system is fully functional. When you start 
playing the audio thunder tracks, the lights will respond. If the lights are not 

responding as expected, turn up the volume on your audio source or increase the 
level in the FF-151 via the LCD screens. 
 
 

CUSTOMIZED SETTINGS 

 
Five pushbuttons allow you to fully customize your FF-151 settings. Pressing the 
center MENU button gives you access to several additional windows. Pressing the 

UP and DOWN buttons scrolls through the windows. The (+) and (–) buttons alter 
the settings for that particular window. Pressing MENU again will exit the program
