How Long Does the Battery Last?
The CUBEecho RGBWA will last up to 20 hours on a single full charge. It will depend on which LED colors
and how many LED colors are being used at what intensity based on the (0-255) Scale. The (0-255) Scale
you see on the push button display is directly related to the 0-255 scale you are using with a DMX
controller or DMX software.
Example:
Full Red (255) will go about 22 hours
Full Green (255) will go about 18 hours
Full Blue (255) will go about 18 hours
Full White (255) will go about 18 hours
Full Amber (255) will go about 22 hours
With that being said once you color mix and you use the before stated run times of each color and average
the estimated run time you will be able to calculate about how long a battery with a full charge should
last.
For Example:
2 Colors at Full - Red (255) + Green (255) will go about 11 hours.
3 Colors at Full – Red (255) + Green (255) + Amber (255) will go about 7 Hours.
Note:
With Color mixing 6in1 RGBWA High Powered 15Watt LEDs. You will find that you typically only
need to mix only 2 or 3 main colors to achieve the desired color.
Keep in mind that a single color at FULL (255) is bright enough so when color mixing…to achieve longer
battery run times. Instead of making the color “Purple” by way of Red (255) + Blue (255) which will give
you about 10-12 Hours. Try making “Purple” by way of Red (127) + Blue (128) which will equal “Purple”
(127+128 = 255) which will give you about 19-22 Hours. This will be half as bright as before at full
intensity. However, you will get almost double the battery run time.
Operation Guide:
Turn on the fixture by BATTERY ON or by plugging the IEC Power Cord into the
Power input and turn the Red power switch to ON
