2. Features

The GLP Creative Light 1 (CL1) is a wireless, battery-powered visual effect fixture for
the semi-professional event and professional entertainment market. Each CL1 has 24
individually controllable RGB pixels. Two different optical front screens are supplied
with the CL1, as well as a USB-A to USB-C charging cable. You can charge the CL1
using any standard USB charger. A traveling multi-device case with integrated
charging system is available as an optional accessory.

The CL1 is a highly advanced fixture in a compact package. It creates stunning light
effects using the integrated dynamic FX engine or when driven by individual RGB
pixel control. The fixture is perfect for setting creative visual highlights, illuminating
walls or integrating into dark areas of sets. The CL1 lets you create impressive visual
effects with minimal equipment size and budget.

Depending on the selected performance mode, the integrated battery can power
visual effects for up to 10 hours with white output and 24 hours with single-color
output.

The Creative Light 1 comes in two versions:

• The Creative Light 1 (CL1) can be controlled by IR Remote Control, by mobile
device via the GLP iQ.Mesh* system and GLP Creative Light app, and by use of
the control panel on the front of the fixture.

• The Creative Light 1 Plus (CL1+) offers all of the features of the CL1 but in addition
it features integrated LumenRadio CRMX TiMo technology that allows control by
wireless DMX.

This manual uses the name CL1 to refer to both the CL1 and CL1+ unless stated
otherwise.

If you have any questions about the CL1, the CL1+, CRMX, DMX control or iQ.Mesh,
for example, please contact your GLP supplier who will be happy to help you.

* iQ.Mesh is a new wireless mesh network technology available from GLP. iQ.Mesh
allows fixtures to communicate with each other, share data and receive and amplify
signals to set up huge networks. The GLP Creative Light smartphone app allows
communication with the mesh network and direct fixture control.

When controlled via the app, CL1 fixtures can generate an iQ.Mesh wireless network
with no need for any additional hardware. Each CL1 receives and amplifies the
signal, allowing the network to cover long physical distances.

The GLP Creative Light app provides an intuitive user interface and allows fast, easy
system setup. Multiple devices can be grouped for live control of intensity, strobe
and pulse effects, background and foreground colors, a variety of dynamic patterns
and sound-to-light audio triggering. The app is available from Play Store for Android
and App Store for iOS.

The configuration options available are described in this chapter.

Default control settings

By default, the CL1 and CL1+ are set up as follows:

• The CL1 is set to SIGNAL SOURCE: iQ.Mesh and NO-SIGNAL: MANUAL CONTROL.
This means the fixture automatically switches to manual / IR remote control as
long no valid iQ.Mesh Signal is being received or the fixture is not linked to the
Creative Light smartphone app.

• The CL1+ is set to SIGNAL SOURCE: CRMX and NO-SIGNAL: MANUAL CONTROL.
This means the fixture automatically switches to manual / IR remote control as
long no valid CRMX Signal is being received or the fixture is not linked to CRMX.

You can change these default settings in the fixture’s control menus under SIGNAL
SETTINGS → SIGNAL SOURCE and FIXTURE SETTINGS → NO-SIGNAL BEHAVIOR. See the
following sections for details.

Fixture Settings

• No-signal Behavior lets you decide what the fixture should do if it is powered on
but not receiving (or has not received) a control signal. You can set the CL1 to
either black out, continue using the last commands it received via CRMX or
iQ.Mesh, or switch over to manual control.

• Mic Sensitivity adjusts the sensitivity of the CL1’s built-in microphone. The
microphone is used for audio triggering, which gives you various options for
synchronizing lighting changes with a music beat, for example.

If you set the CL1 to audio triggering and it does not respond to music, increase
microphone sensitivity towards 10 (the highest sensitivity setting). If the CL1
responds too actively to music, reduce microphone sensitivity towards 1 (the
lowest setting) until you obtain optimum performance.

• Power Mode lets you choose how you prioritize light output versus length of
operating time on one battery charge. There is a trade-off between these two
parameters, or course. Power Mode lets you choose maximum light output,
maximum operating time between battery charges or a good compromise
between these two settings.

• Emergency Light lets you define a static scene that the CL1 will display if it is
connected to external power but then external power is disconnected. You can
use Emergency Light as a control feature or as a way of providing emergency
lighting in the event of a loss of power.

• Default Settings returns the CL1 to its factory default settings without affecting its
control configuration. Mic Sensitivity, No-Signal Behavior etc. are returned to their
factory default settings, but DMX Address, Signal Source and Control Mode are
not changed. The CL1’s default settings are printed in bold type in the control
menus table starting on page 36.

17 Rev. 20210303-01

www.glp.de

Manual Control menu

The Manual Control menu lets you use the control panel on the front of the CL1 to
display a static scene or run a dynamic pattern over the top of the main color. See
full details under ‘Manual control’ on page 20.

Fixture and iQ.Mesh information

The Information menu lets you call up information about the CL1’s fixture software
(firmware) versions and operating data. It also lets you call up information about the
iQ.Mesh system and see the fixture’s current iQ.Mesh status.

Service

The Service menu gives three options for managing the CL1’s firmware and settings.

• iQ.Mesh Upload prepares the CL1 for a firmware upload over an iQ.Mesh network
using the GLP Creative Light smartphone app. See the section on ‘Uploading new
firmware’ on page 33 for details.

• Load Setting Defaults is identical to the Default Settings command in the Fixture
Settings menu. It returns the CL1 to its factory default settings without affecting its

control configuration. Mic Sensitivity, No-Signal Behavior etc. are returned to their
factory default settings, but DMX Address, Signal Source and Control Mode are
not changed. The CL1’s default settings are printed in bold type in the control
menus table starting on page 36.

• Load Factory Backup re-initializes the CL1 completely. It returns the CL1 to its
factory default settings including its factory-set control configuration. Mic
Sensitivity, No-Signal Behavior etc. DMX Address, Signal Source and Control Mode
are all returned to the original factory default settings. The CL1’s default settings
are printed in bold type in the control menus table starting on page 36.

Important! A Load Factory Backup command will reset the CL1 to Manual / IR
Remote control. Any link to CRMX or iQ.Mesh control will be cut off.

Loading factory backup

To re-initialize the CL1 and restore its original factory
settings, switch the fixture on, then use a shortcut by
holding the ENTER button pressed in for 6 seconds.
The CL1’s individual configuration with all custom
settings is returned to factory defaults.

Important! If you are using CRMX (CL1+ only) or
iQ.Mesh control, note that loading factory backup
returns the fixture to an unlinked state, breaking off
communication with the CRMX link or iQ.Mesh
network.

CL1 / CL1+ User Manual

Figure 7. Restoring factory

settings

German Light Products®

In the CL1+, the DMX address also returns to the factory default, which is 001.

To re-establish CRMX control, see below.

To re-establish iQ.Mesh control, see ‘Setting up iQ.Mesh control’ on page 19.

Linking to a CRMX Transmitter (CL1+ only)

Whenever CRMX is enabled and the CL1+ is not already linked, it searches for a
LumenRadio CRMX transmitter.

To link the CL1+ with a new CRMX transmitter:

Enter the control menus, navigate to SIGNAL SETTINGS → SIGNAL SOURCE and

select CRMX.

Navigate to SIGNAL SETTINGS → CRMX LINK and select LINK/UNLINK.

Start the linking process at the CRMX transmitter as described in the transmitter’s

user manual.

TIP: The quickest way of setting up multiple CL1+ fixtures for DMX use is to carry out a
LOAD FACTORY BACKUP on each fixture by pressing and holding its ENTER Button for
6 seconds. This will return the fixture to factory settings and delete all CRMX and
iQ.Mesh links. The fixtures are now ready for linking to a transmitter. After successful
linking, set up the fixtures’ DMX addresses and DMX control mode.

DMX settings (CL1+ only)

When using DMX control via CRMX, you need to consider the following setup
options.

DMX Address

If you want individual control of the CL1+ in an installation containing more than one
fixture, you will need to give the CL1+ its own individual DMX address. Fixtures of the
same type that share the same DMX address behave identically.

The CL1+ is set to DMX address 001 by default.

DMX Modes

The CL1 has three DMX control modes: Basic, Pattern and MultiPix modes. The
different modes give you a choice of control options. See ‘DMX control modes
overview (CL1+ only)’ starting on page 39 for details.

Setting up iQ.Mesh control

To set up a CL1 fixture so that you can control it with the GLP iQ.Mesh system and
Creative Light smartphone app, open the control menus, navigate to SIGNAL
SETTINGS → SIGNAL SOURCE and select iQ.Mesh. See full details under ‘Creative Light
app control‘ on page 24.

19 Rev. 20210303-01

www.glp.de

7. Manual control

If you set the CL1 to MANUAL / IR REMOTE CONTROL in the SIGNAL SETTINGS menu
(you can also use a shortcut by pressing and holding the DOWN button to scroll
through the control signal sources), you can control it manually using the CL1’s
integrated control panel.

Manual control gives the same options as Pattern DMX Mode (see ‘DMX Mode 2:
Pattern’ on page 39). Additionally, you can set changes between steps in patterns
to snap (instant change from one step to the next) or crossfade (fade from one step
to the next).

The control options available when using Manual control are as follows:

• Master Intensity gives 0 – 100% continuous dimming of the complete fixture.

• Main Color lets you set the LED pixels to display a custom RGB color, one of 30

color presets or one of 4 color chaser options.

• FX Layer provides control of 40 patterns that can be superimposed over the main

9. Creative Light app control

If you select SIGNAL SOURCE → iQ.MESH in the SIGNAL SETTINGS menu (you can also
press and hold the DOWN button to scroll through the control signal sources), you
can control the CL1 using the GLP Creative Light smartphone app.

Using the Creative Light app, a smartphone can communicate with CL1 fixtures
using GLP iQ.Mesh technology in which each fixture is capable of relaying data to
other fixtures. The mesh system allows wireless control of networks over large
distances.

You can find guidance about using the Creative Light app in the app itself once you
have installed it, so this manual only gives you brief instructions to get you started.

Note that the Creative Light app is constantly being updated, and the appearance
of the app may differ from the screenshot pictures given in this section. This user
manual will be updated to match the app, so make sure that you have the latest
version of this user manual.

Setting up the iQ.Mesh network

To control an installation containing CL1 fixtures with the Creative Light app, you
must first link the fixtures to and configure the iQ.Mesh network. To do this:

Download the GLP Creative Light app from the App Store (iOS) or Play Store

(Android). Pointing your smartphone at the correct QR code for your smartphone
in Figure 9 will take you to the app:

Figure 9. QR codes to obtain GLP Creative Light app

Switch on all the CL1 fixtures and open the control panel menus. Make sure that

each fixture is unlinked from older iQ.Mesh Networks before linking. To unlink a
CL1, either:

• go to SIGNAL SETTINGS → iQ.MESH LINK/UNLINK and unlink the CL1, or

• use a shortcut by pressing and holding the ENTER button for 6 seconds to load

factory backup. This will return the CL1 to factory settings and delete any links
to CRMX or iQ.Mesh.

CL1 / CL1+ User Manual

24

German Light Products®

Navigate to SIGNAL SETTINGS → SIGNAL SOURCE and select iQ.Mesh. You can

also use a shortcut by pressing and holding the DOWN Button to change the
control signal source. When the CL1 is set to SIGNAL SOURCE → iQ.Mesh, it will
show a red rotating pixel to indicate that the fixture is not connected to an
iQ.Mesh Network and is ready for linking.

Open the Creative Light app. See Figure 10. Tap on

the Setup and Configuration button (arrowed) in the
top right-hand corner of the main screen to open the
Setup and Configuration screen.

See Figure 11. In the LINKING

section at the bottom of the

tap on the Discovered Unlinked
Devices button (arrowed). The
app will search for unlinked
devices. Each time it discovers a
device it will add it to the list of discovered unlinked devices in the center of the
screen.

Figure 11. Discovered Unlinked Devices

Figure 10. Setup and

Configuration

You can now either add all the fixtures in the installation or

add single fixtures to the network:

• To add all the fixtures, see Figure 12. Tap on the Link all
discovered devices button.

• To add single fixtures, look down the list of discovered,
unlinked devices in the center of the screen and tap on
the CL1 that you want to add to the network. Then tap
on the Link Selected Fixture button (see Figure 13) on
the right of the screen.

As soon as a CL1 fixture is linked to the iQ.Mesh network, it

changes from showing a red rotating pixel to a green
rotating pixel and the indicator light (top left in Figure 12) turns
from red to green.

You can now control the CL1 using the Creative Light app.

Using the app is intuitive. You will also find tutorials in the app that will
help you learn how to use the app’s features.

10. DMX control (CL1+ only)

If you set the fixture to SIGNAL SOURCE → CRMX in the SIGNAL SETTINGS menu (you
can also press and hold the DOWN button to scroll through the control signal
sources), you can control the CL1+ using a DMX signal sent via a CRMX wireless DMX
transmitter. The CL1+ has three DMX control modes, with the following possibilities.

Global intensity

The intensity channel provides dimming of the fixture in 8-bit resolution on channel 1
in all DMX modes.

Global Shutter / Pattern Shutter

You can apply a shutter / strobe effect to the whole fixture in all DMX modes. In
Pattern DMX Mode, you can also apply the shutter / strobe effect to any pattern
that you have superimposed onto the main ‘scene’. The control options available for
the whole fixture and for the pattern are the same:

• Closed blacks out the fixture.

• Music Trigger Flash gives one single flash each time you change the DMX value in

this slot range. This option lets you manually send flashes whenever you like. This
could be in time with a music beat, for example.

• Random Pulse is a shutter pulse that rhythmically increases and decreases output.
You can adjust the rate of the pulse by changing the DMX value within this slot
range.

• Random Pulse Open fades light in and then snaps to blackout. You can adjust the
rate of the pulse by changing the DMX value within this slot range.

• Random Pulse Close fades light out and then snaps to full. You can adjust the rate
of the pulse by changing the DMX value within this slot range.

• Random Double Flash performs a fast double flash. You can adjust the speed of
the double flash by changing the DMX value within this slot range.

• Strobe Random Pixel sets individual pixels to flash at random, giving a kind of
sparkle effect. You can adjust the rate of the sparkle by changing the DMX value
within this slot range.

• Strobe Random All flashes all the fixture’s pixels together with a random interval
between flashes. This lets you set up a classic effect consisting of a random strobe
running on multiple fixtures. You can adjust the speed of the random flashes by
changing the DMX value within this slot range. Note that the random effect between

multiple fixtures really is totally random!

• Strobe Sync All flashes all of the pixels of multiple fixtures in a perfectly
synchronized strobe effect. You can adjust the speed of the strobe by changing
the DMX value within this slot range.

• Open gives full intensity continuous output.

CL1 / CL1+ User Manual

German Light Products®

Virtual color wheel

The virtual color wheel channel gives quick access to fixed color presets. You can set
the fixture to change from one color preset to another automatically with variable
speed or in time with a music beat. You can decide whether the CL1 should snap
from one color to the next or crossfade with variable fade time.

You can apply the color wheel effect to the whole fixture in Basic and Pattern DMX
modes. In Pattern DMX Mode, you can also apply the color wheel effect to any
pattern that you have superimposed onto the main ‘scene’.

Note that the color wheel has higher priority than the RGB channels. The virtual color
wheel channel must be set to DMX value 000 before you can use RGB color mixing.

The color wheel control options available for the whole fixture and for the pattern
are the same:

• The first part of the color wheel channel (values 000 → 123) selects one of 30 color
presets.

• The second part of the color wheel channel (values 128 → 191) gives automatic
changing between color presets with a snap (instant) change. You can vary the
color change rate from slow to fast, or you can link the instant color changes to
the CL1’s integrated audio trigger microphone. When using audio triggering you
can decide whether a color change is triggered every beat or every 4, 8 or 16
beats.

• The third part of the color wheel channel (192 → 255) gives automatic changing
between color presets with a smooth crossfade. You can vary the crossfading rate
from slow to fast, or you can link the crossfading color changes to the CL1’s
integrated audio trigger microphone. When using audio triggering you can
decide whether a color change is triggered every beat or every 4, 8 or 16 beats.

RGB / Pattern RGB

The RGB channels available in Basic and Pattern DMX Modes let you mix custom
colors on all the fixture’s pixels together (the main ‘scene’) and on any pattern that
you select to run on top of the main ‘scene’. Color mixing uses separate Red, Green
and Blue intensity control.

The options for mixing custom colors on the whole fixture and on the superimposed
pattern are identical.

Control / Settings

A special channel available in all DMX modes lets you modify some important fixture
settings by DMX. Remotely adjust settings like this can be very helpful if fixture
performance needs to be adjusted during the show or simply to create special
scenes.

For most of these settings you need to send the required DMX value and then hold it
for a certain number of seconds to activate.

29 Rev. 20210303-01

www.glp.de

Pattern Control (available in Pattern DMX Mode)

The different FX Pattern sequences available in Pattern DMX Mode can be
superimposed onto the main ‘scene’ (the background). Each pattern consists of a
sequence of steps and has active and inactive pixels. An active pixel shows the
selected pattern color while an inactive pixel is fully transparent and will let the main
‘scene’ shine through.

Pattern effects are controlled with their own Pattern Master Intensity, Pattern Shutter,
Pattern Color Wheel and Pattern RGB channels, which means that you can fade
pattern effects in and out and apply intensity effects to patterns.

Pattern Intensity

The Pattern Intensity channel lets you set the intensity or visibility of the selected
pattern. At 0% the pattern is invisible, and as you increase the DMX value on this
channel the Pattern becomes more visible on top of the main ‘scene’ (the
background). Patterns have priority over the main scene: if you increase the value
on the Pattern Intensity channel from 0% to 100%, the pixels that are active in the
pattern will crossfade from the main scene color to the pattern color.

Pattern Shutter

The Pattern Shutter channel offers the same effects as the Global Shutter channel
(see ‘Global Shutter / Pattern Shutter’ on page 28).

Pattern Select

The Pattern Select channel gives access to 40 dynamic pattern effects.

Pattern 00 (DMX value 000) is the basic pattern and simply sets all pixels to be active.

Patterns 01 to 40 are dynamic patterns. Each dynamic pattern consists of multiple
static pattern steps. The number of steps can be different in different patterns.

Random Pattern change lets you automatically change pattern effects from slow
(change pattern every 30 seconds) to fast (change pattern every second). You can
also link pattern changes to the CL1’s integrated audio triggering microphone.
When using audio triggering you can decide whether a pattern change is triggered
every beat or every 4, 8 or 16 beats.

Pattern Step/Speed

A pattern consists of a sequence of pattern steps. On the Pattern Step / Speed
channel, you can:

• scroll to and select individual steps,

• take the change from one pattern step to the next and link it to the integrated

audio triggering microphone with a 1:1 beat trigger, or

• set a pattern to run continuously with variable speed in different directions
(clockwise or counterclockwise).

14. DMX control modes overview (CL1+ only)

The following DMX control modes are available in the CL1+.

DMX Mode 1: Basic

DMX Mode 1: Basic uses 7 DMX channels.

Basic Mode provides dimming,
shutter/strobe effects, a Control/Settings
channel that lets you configure the fixture
remotely via DMX, a virtual color wheel
for fast access to color presets, and RGB
color mixing. All of the fixture’s pixels are
controlled together.

2 Global shutter / strobe
3 Control / Settings
4 Virtual color wheel (color presets)
5 Red
6 Green
7 Blue

DMX Mode 2: Pattern

DMX Mode 2: Pattern is the default DMX
control mode. It uses 15 DMX channels.

Channels 1 – 7 in Pattern Mode are
identical with Basic Mode. These
channels provide dimming, shutter/strobe
effects, a Control/Settings channel that
lets you configure the fixture remotely via
DMX, a virtual color wheel for fast access
to color presets and RGB color mixing.
These effects form the fixture’s main
‘scene’.

In addition to the above, Pattern Mode
offers a powerful effects engine on
channels 8 – 15 with 40 dynamic effect
patterns that run on the fixture’s 24 pixels.
Patterns are superimposed onto the
fixture’s main scene. In other words, the
main scene becomes a background for
the pattern.

DMX Mode 3: MultiPix

DMX Mode 3: MultiPix uses 15 DMX
channels.

Channels 1 – 3 in MultiPix Mode are
identical with the other DMX modes.
These channels provide dimming,
shutter/strobe effects and a
Control/Settings channel that lets you
configure the fixture remotely via DMX.

In addition to these three channels,
MultiPix Mode provides individual RGB
control of each of the fixture’s 24 pixels.

Pixels in the CL1 are numbered starting at
the top and moving around the fixture in
