The Battery Status LED is designed for use before an event. All fixtures
’ Status LED
should be
green to ensure that the battery lasts for your forthcoming event. If it is another color, we
suggest charging your fixture.
While the light is connected to AC, the Status LED will be blue. While it is charging, the Battery
Icon will start the charging sequence. Once the battery is fully charged the battery icon on
the display will show all 3 bars (as below). If the battery is already fully charged and the
power cord is plugged in, the display will show a battery with moving bars for approx. 30-60
seconds after which it will stop and the icon will show a full battery.

Charge the light immediately after use.
If charged in a flight case, make sure it is open. It is recommended to charge the lights at an
ambient temperature between 0°C and 35°C. A normal charge cycle will take five to seven
hours, but may take much longer if the light is hot.
The light is designed to be charged while powered off. If it is connected to AC and powered
on, it may charge at reduced current if enough power is available and the battery
temperature is below 45°C.
The light has an automatic battery bypass switch, so it can safely be used when AC cable is
plugged in, this will not cause wear to the battery.
