Need help?Do you have a question about the Eternal Lighting CUBEecho RGBWA+UV and is the answer not in the manual?
The CUBEecho RGBWA+UV is an intelligent LED par light designed for mobile entertainers, offering a lightweight and compact solution for various lighting needs. This device is equipped with 6-in-1 RGBWA+UV high-powered 18-watt LEDs, allowing for a wide spectrum of color mixing and lighting effects. Its primary function is to provide versatile and controllable illumination, whether through DMX, wireless DMX, or infrared remote control.
One of the key usage features of the CUBEecho RGBWA+UV is its battery-powered operation, providing significant flexibility for events where power outlets may be scarce or inconvenient. The fixture incorporates a Lithium-ion battery, which, when fully charged, can last up to 20 hours, depending on the LED colors used and their intensity. For instance, using full red (255) can provide approximately 22 hours of light, while a mix of two colors like red (255) and green (255) might last around 11 hours. A mix of three colors (red, green, amber at 255 intensity) could yield about 7 hours. The manual also highlights a clever strategy for extending battery life: by reducing the intensity of individual colors when mixing to achieve a desired hue (e.g., making purple with Red (127) + Blue (128) instead of Red (255) + Blue (255)), the battery run time can almost double, albeit at half the brightness.
The device offers multiple control methods to suit different operational environments. It can be controlled via DMX, allowing for integration into professional lighting setups. For wireless control, it features built-in 2.4GHz wireless DMX capabilities, which can be synced with an XT-Mitter PRO 3.0 transmitter. This wireless functionality is managed through an ID Code Selector, where users can choose from seven different colors (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple, Cyan, White) to establish a wireless connection between fixtures. In a master/slave configuration, one fixture acts as the master, transmitting signals (indicated by a blinking RED wireless indicator), while other slave fixtures receive these signals (indicated by a blinking GREEN wireless indicator), ensuring synchronized lighting effects across multiple units.
In addition to DMX and wireless DMX, the CUBEecho RGBWA+UV also supports infrared (IR) remote control. To enable this feature, the "IR INFA" option must be activated in the device's menu, and the fixture must be set to Master Mode. The remote allows for basic functions such as ON/OFF, activating auto or fade programs, selecting sound-active modes, strobe effects, and adjusting speeds. It also provides direct control over individual colors (Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, Pink, Orange/Yellow, Cyan, Purple/UV) and master/slave settings.
The user interface of the CUBEecho RGBWA+UV includes a push-button display that provides access to various settings and information. Upon startup, it displays a "Welcome to Eternal Lighting" screen, followed by version information for RGBWA and RGBWA+UV channel modes. Users can navigate through options such as DMX address, channel mode (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, or 13 channels), and master/slave settings. The "Manual" mode allows for individual control of Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, and UV colors, with brightness adjustable on a 0-255 scale. The "SHND" menu offers preset colors (01-50 for RGBWA+UV), auto-change programs with adjustable speeds, and the ability to create and save five custom colors. Sound-active modes (Sound 1 for auto change with sound and fade when quiet, Sound 2 for strobe effect with sound and fade when quiet) and fade programs (1-10, fast to slow) are also available.
For monitoring and maintenance, the device provides useful information through its display. "Boot time" and "Work time" track the current operating time and total operating time, respectively. The "Battery Capacity" indicator shows the percentage of charge remaining, with 90-100% indicating a full charge and 20-30% indicating a low or depleted battery. The fixture is designed to shut off automatically when the battery capacity drops to around 20-30% to protect the battery. The "LCD Display time" setting allows users to control how long the display backlight stays on, with options from 10 seconds to full on.
Charging the CUBEecho RGBWA+UV is a straightforward process. The manual emphasizes an initial charge of 6 hours. To charge, the IEC power cord is plugged into the Power Input, and the 3-way black switch (for battery options) is set to "CHARGE." The red power button (for AC power operation) should be in the "OFF" position during this dedicated charging. A Battery Charge Indicator on the back of the fixture illuminates red during charging and green when fully charged. It's crucial to note a safety caution: never have both the battery button flipped to "ON" and the red power button in the "ON" position simultaneously while the IEC power cord is plugged in. However, the fixture can operate on AC power (red power button "ON") and charge the battery concurrently, or the 3-way switch can be in the "OFF" position.
The device is designed with no user-serviceable parts inside, and any attempts at repair will void the manufacturer's warranty. In case of damage or missing parts upon unpacking, users are advised to contact the manufacturer or dealer directly. A helpful trick for master resetting the fixture to factory settings involves pressing and holding the Menu and Enter buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. This action restores the device to default settings, including AUTO color change mode, DMX Address 001, 6CH Mode, Slave Mode, IR Disabled, display on for 60 seconds, and all manual and custom colors set to 0.
Overall, the CUBEecho RGBWA+UV is a robust and versatile lighting solution, combining powerful LED technology with flexible control options and convenient battery operation, making it suitable for a wide range of mobile entertainment applications.
