FL5600 Overview

The FiberLamp FL5600 is an LED based fiber optic luminaire that has dynamic color changing abilities and an effect wheel. It can be controlled with manual, USB, and DMX512 interfaces.

The FL5600 is designed for use with both side and end-emitting fiber optics.

Models

The FL5600 is offered with a single colored light source or a multicolored light source. All models can be equipped with a motorized “twinkle wheel” for use with bundled strands of fiber.

COLOR OPTIONS

Multicolor options are offered as RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, 5000K White) or RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Amber). An FL5600 with a multicolored light source is the best option when color-changing abilities are required.

Single color options are offered in 2800K, 3000K, 4200K, 4400K, 5000K and 6500K white color temperatures. An FL5600 with a single colored light source is the best option when high light intensity is required.

Power switch

Once connected to the AC mains, the power switch controls the power supplied to the unit. Be sure to set the power switch to ON before operation.

In the event of a power disconnect, when power is restored, the unit will return to its operating state.

Note: Once the power switch is set to ON, the cooling fan should immediately operate. If the fan fails to turn on with the power switch, but the unit is still able to output light, set the power switch to OFF and contact the manufacturer.

Pushbuttons

There are two pushbuttons on the side of the unit labeled “Wheel Speed” and “Mode” shown in

Figure 1.

WHEEL SPEED

If a twinkle wheel is installed in the fixture, the “Wheel Speed” pushbutton is used to control the

twinkle wheel.Pressing this pushbutton cycles through different preset twinkle speed modes with rotation in one direction (Note: Both forward and reverse rotation can be controlled with DMX). Each mode corresponds to different twinkle speeds as described in the Table 1 below.
