How Long Does the Battery Last?
The
ShowCUBE™ DMX RGBWA+UV
will last up to 15 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 15 hours
Full Green (255) will go about 12 hours
Full Blue (255) will go about 12 hours
Full White (255) will go about 12 hours
Full Amber (255) will go about 15 hours
Full UV (255) will go about 11 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) + Amber (255) will go about 8 hours.
3 Colors at Full – Red (255) + Green (255) + Amber (255) will go about 6 Hours.
Note:
With Color mixing 6in1 RGBWA+UV High Powered 18Watt 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 7-8 Hours. Try making “Purple” by way of Red (127)
+ Blue (128) which will equal “Purple” (127+128 = 255) which will give you about 14-16
Hours. This will be half as bright as before at full intensity. However, you will get almost
double the battery run time.
