Applications
The LED spotlight PARL-5RGBW can be used to
create effect illumination, e. g. on stage, in dis-
cotheques or in ballrooms. The spotlight features
5 super-bright 8 W RGBW LEDs as a light source.
The LEDs can emit light in the three primary
colours (red, green and blue) and in white as well
as coloured light created from additive colour mix-
ing. Crossfading from one colour to another and
stroboscope effects are also supported.
The spotlight is designed for control by means of
a DMX light controller (7 DMX channels), but may
also be operated on its own or in combination with
multiple spotlights PARL-5RGBW (master/slave
mode). The spotlight can be conveniently con-
trolled by means of the infrared remote control sup-
plied. In addition, the integrated microphone pro-
vides effects in sync with the music.

Installation
When placing the unit, always make sure that suffi-
cient air circulation is provided during operation.
Never cover the air vents of the housing.
WARNING Install the spotlight safely and
expertly. When installing the spot-
light at a place where people may
walk or sit under it, additionally
secure it (e. g. by means of a safety
rope on the mounting bracket; fasten
the safety rope in such a way that the
maximum falling distance of the
spotlight will not exceed 20 cm).
1. Use a mounting bracket (3) to fasten the spot-
light, e. g. by means of a stable mounting screw
or a support for lighting units (C hook) on a
crossbar.
To align the spotlight, loosen the two
setscrews (5) on the mounting bracket. Tilt the
spotlight as desired and then firmly retighten the
setscrews.
2. Alternatively, set up the spotlight on its own: Fold
out the mounting brackets underneath the spot-
light and use them as stands. Then firmly tighten
the setscrews.

spotlight, disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
Caution: Never connect the unit to the mains volt-
age via a dimmer!
For power supply of another light effect unit, the
mains output jack (9) can be used if the total power
consumption does not exceed the rated power
of the fuse in the fuse support (2) [
For connection, the mains extension cable AAC-
170/SW from MONACOR is available, for example.
