Setup Guide

A.) Attaching the Brackets

For Floor Standing or Truss Mounting:

1. Line up the brackets on both sides of the light.
2. Insert the screw knobs through the bracket holes.
3. Add washers on the other side of the screws.
4. Align the threads of each screw with the screw hole on each side of the light.
5. Tighten the knobs to lock the brackets in place.

These brackets allow the light to stand on the floor or mount to a truss.

B.) Wall Washing 

There are two main ways to set up wall washing:

1. Flush Against the Wall
   • Position the light straight up against the wall for a uniform wash.
2. Angled for Spread Effect
   • Tilt the light slightly away from the wall for a wider illumination spread.
   • Adjust the angle using the brackets until you achieve the desired look.

C.) DJ Facade Setup

• Position the light straight up behind the DJ facade.
• If the facade has multiple panels, multiple Battery Strip 24 lights can be used to illuminate each section.

D.) Truss Mounting

What You Need:

• 2x Lighting Clamps (Rockville LC70: Heavy Duty C-Clamps 2-Pack recommended)
• 2x Battery Strip 24 Brackets (included with each light)

How to Mount to a Truss:

1. Remove the mounting brackets from the light.
2. Attach a Lighting Clamp to each bracket:
   • Unscrew and detach the wingnut from the outside of the clamp.
   • Unscrew and remove the hex-bolt from the inside (using a wrench if necessary).
   • Insert the bolt through the hole in the bracket.
   • Tighten the clamp to sandwich the bracket
   • Secure it by tightening the wing nut.
3. Reattach the brackets to the light.
4. Secure the clamps to the truss:
   • Loosen the clamps' butterfly screws to allow them to fit around the truss
   • Attach the clamps to the truss, and tighten the screws to lock them in place.

E.) Powering & Charging

1. To charge:
   • Plug the power cable into the Battery Strip 24's Power In socket.
   • Plug the other end into a wall outlet.
   • The Battery Strip 24's Power Out can then be used to charge an additional light. 
2. Check battery level:
   • The LED indicator will show remaining battery life.
   • Once charged, the light can operate for 3 to 8 hours, depending on the mode and brightness level.
     • Using lower frequency static colors (e.g. red / green) will drain battery much slower.
     • Using higher frequency static colors (e.g. violet / white) and color-changing modes will drain the battery much faster.
