Legend
  • LNT = Light Normalizing Technology. With the proper curves all lights turn on and dim at the same rate.
  • Need to know if Lynx hardware works in your region? Lynx Voltage Info
Asterisk Notes
** Two DMX outputs using wired input (Cat5) with ver 3 pcb and higher or
One DMX output (DMX Out2) if using the mounted EX/RX wireless module on ver 3 pcb and higher
*** MR16 is capable of handling up to 24 volt DC source power. Please place a heat sink on the 5 volt regulator.
