FAQ
Q: What is HSI?
A: The HSI color model represents every color with three components: hue (H), saturation (S), intensity (I).
Q: What is CCT?
A: CCT (correlated colour temperature) defines how the light appears and how it might make us feel. A low CCT value (e.g. 2700K) indicates that the light contains a substantial proportion of the red, orange and yellow wavelengths, which we often call “warm” white.
Q: Is this product waterproof?
A: No, it isn’t. Please make sure to keep it away from water, rain, humidity, etc.
Q: How to clean this product?
A: It is recommended to use a dry, soft cloth. You can slighthly dampen the cloth with neutral cleaning agent to remove stubborn dirt, and then wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
Q: When can I use Max Enhanced Mode?
A: Max mode is only applicable in CCT mode, not in HSI mode.
Q: How to chage the device?
A: Please make sure to charge the battery in “Standard Mode”.
If you charge the battery in “Max Mode”, please make sure the dimmer is less than 60%. Otherwise the battery will reject the power charge.
