At 13.5V input the entire display will flash to warn the user that there is limited remaining capacity. Between 13V
and 12.5V the lamp will switch off and display “Lo OFF”. Please switch off the unit and change the battery or
switch to an alternative power source. The time between the warning display and cut out will vary but a typical
duration would be 5 – 15 minutes, but typical duration on a 100W battery would be 10 minutes.
Additionally there are other steps you can take to prolong battery life on Silk 210 if running time is the priority.
Roll off the output to < 90% and walk the lamp in slightly closer to the subject if possible. This can increase the
running time by up to 75%. Adjusting color temperature below 5300K, if possible, will also increase running time.
(For instance, setting the fixture to 4300K, if appropriate to your situation, will increase running time by as much
as 25%.)
Rosco has tested many Lithium Ion batteries currently available and a list of test results and expected run times
are shown on the next page.
Many other batteries offered from a range of manufacturers may work but their performance and reliability
cannot be confirmed by Rosco.
Use only Lithium Ion batteries >=100W with this Silk fixture.
IMPoRTanT noTe: When changing batteries on the unit, first switch off with the power switch, change the battery and
then switch back on. Permanent damage to the driver board is possible when swapping batteries with the unit switched on.
