Stage Lighting
LP-LED2X & LP-LED4X.
The Yorkville Sound LP-LED2X and LP-LED4X are compact and powerful lighting
systems. The LP-LED2X uses 2 lighting fixtures (LP-LED4X has 4), called pods,
mounted on a stand-mountable bar/controller. The bar houses the user controls,
the connectors for a separate controller, the power supply and mounting
options. Each light pod uses 4 very high-power multi-die LED emitters that
comprise of a red, a green, a blue and a white die. The addition of the white
die provides a much more complete light spectrum; more accurate color
rendering of the objects and/or people illuminated.
The light output of each pod is roughly equivalent to 300 watt bulbs with
gels. At a distance of 6 feet, the light beam has a diameter of 3 feet. The
diameter of the light at 12 feet is 5 feet. The light is mixed in the lens so
that the mixed light color is visible when looking at the lens. Each pod may
be adjusted in 2 axis.
The Bars May be Used in Several Ways
-
Stand alone, no separate controller is required
-
Linked to other LP-LED/X Bars with one as master
-
With a Yorkville Lighting Controller. The Yorkville Sound LP-C12 controller allows for more functionality than the LP-LED/X Bars on their own. The older Yorkville Sound LP-608 can also be used but has limited functionality (see more detailed description below).
When a Yorkville Sound Color Controller is used, the controls on the LP-LED/X Bars become inactive except for the Brightness Control. -
With a DMX™ Controller. The DMX™ signals pass through internal integrated DMX™ processing via a 3- pin standard XLR. Five separate modes are available with DMX512 addressing standard protocol. Set unit to off position to in order to access DMX.
-
Bluetooth Smart™ device. Using our dedicated Android and iOS apps via any Bluetooth Smart™ enabled device. Effects and full manual RGBW color controls are available, along with extended Bluetooth™ effects such as strobe.
Function and Stand Alone Operation
The Function Control allows you to set the basic operation of the LP-LED/X
Bars. It allows you to power the unit on, off, choose Bluetooth™ operation or
set a manual setting. When an LP-LED/X Bar is operated by itself (stand alone)
there are a number of modes which are set by the Function control:
- OFF (2 identical positions)
- Lamp Color control (3 identical positions)
- Bluetooth™ operation 4 separate settings (A, B, C, D)
- Chase (5 speeds)
- Single Color fade (6 speeds)
- Multi Color fade (4 speeds)
- Audio effects via internal microphone (4)
- Audio effects via ¼-inch jack triggering (4) (inserting a jack bypasses the internal microphone)
Bluetooth™ Smart Device
- You must install the Yorkville LP Control App on your smart device prior to use. The App is available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
- The Bluetooth™ app may change and this description may not reflect the particular version the user has. There also may be additional features and the details that may change. The number of bars connected may change along with a number of factors such as: the digital device (phone or tablet), the software version in the bar / Bluetooth™ receiver and the amount of Bluetooth™ traffic in the vicinity.
- To connect to a light bar, simply open the dedicated app and tap on the “Add Bar” button at the top of the screen. It will prompt you to enter a 4 digit pin code – if a bar is currently unsecured, any desired pin code can be entered. Security pin codes are cleared when the light bar is powered off, or can be removed from the app.
- You can connect up to 4 bars at once.
Once at least one bar has been connected, “help” and “connected devices” buttons will appear beside the “Add Bar Button,” along with: channel selection, individual head controllers, effects selection, and scene selection.
Channel Selection
Four channels are available, labeled A, B, C and D. These correspond with the
channel each light bar has been set to on the back of the bar. Any bar set to
the currently selected channel will follow given commands. For example, if two
bars are connected and set to channel A, changing the first head color to red
will cause the first heads on specifically those two light bars to become red.
Individual Head Controls
The controls will appear as a color knob, an intensity slider, and a manual
RGBW assignment button.
Rotating the knob will cycle through the corresponding wheel colors, adjusting
the intensity will affect the brightness level, and pressing the RGBW button
will allow for manual RGBW color assignments.
Effects Selection
Eight effects are available. The first seven correspond with the effects on
the light bar, while the eighth is an additional strobe effect. Individual
head controls are disabled for that channel and scene until the effect is
switched off.
Scene Selection
Each scene will retain the configured head controls or effect for all 4
channels. 10 scenes are available, and are automatically saved to device
storage.
Brightness Control
The brightness of all pods vary from a minimum to a maximum with 32 positions.
This control varies the brightness of all pods from any function position or
any control source.
Note: The maximum brightness controlled by the Bluetooth™ app will depend on
the manual brightness setting on actual light bar.
Lamp Color Control
If using the Lamp Color control, any pod can be turned off by setting the
Color control to the off position. There are 31 colors and color choices which
begin with red, followed by blue, white, amber yellow and finally green. There
are also several choices of color temperature for white. The color fade speeds
are fairly slow and are
intended for gradually changing the lighting for a mood effect, chase speeds
are faster and are also multi-color.
Color Sound to Light
The LP-LED/X Bars have sophisticated audio to light (color organ) circuitry.
The automatic level circuitry allows it to be used with signals from weak line
levels up to strong loudspeaker levels. The voltage range on the ¼-inch phone
jack is 50mV to 100V. The LP-LED/X Bars has an internal microphone with
automatic sensitivity. The microphone triggers the same sophisticated audio to
light (color organ) circuitry as is used in the audio input jack.
Note: the microphone is active unless a ¼-inch phone jack is inserted to the
audio input.
Mounting
The LP-LED/X Bars can be mounted on a standard loudspeaker stand or C-clamps
can be fitted to any of the 4 threaded mounting points. (See Diagram) The
stand adapter has a removable pin to allow multiple light pods per stand.
Using Multiple LP-LED/Xs
The Yorkville proprietary protocol connections and the DMX connections both
allow for daisy chaining. If one bar is used as a master to control other bars
the Yorkville Protocol connections should be used to daisy chain from the
master. A unit under Bluetooth™ control will output signals on the Yorkville
Protocol jacks to allow daisy chaining that mimics the bar under Bluetooth™
control.
LP-LED2X 1,2/3,4 Switch
The LP-LED2X has 2 light pods but the Yorkville lighting controllers such as
the LP-C4 or LP-C12 use a 4 chan-nel signal. The 1,2/3,4 switch selects which
2 of the 4 channels the bar responds to.
Power Consumption
The advantage for using LED versus conventional incandescent lighting is two-
fold, not only does the unit give off less heat but also consumes less than
5-20% of the energy. This eliminates the need for separate AC power circuits
just to run the lights!
Power consumption is rated under 200 watts which depends on the color choice
and intensity. The light pods and the base are fan cooled. The AC connector
will mate with a standard IEC cable or with a special locking cable (sold
seperately). Line voltage can be anywhere from 100 to 240 volts AC enabling
you to use the LP LED/X Bars practically anywhere!
Yorkville LP-C12 and LP-C4 Controllers
The LP series controllers provide an easy way to control LP-series lights. The
LP-C4 is a simple controller intended for foot controlled applications and
small applications. The LP-C12 provides extensive effects, effects patch and
scene controls in an especially easy to use format. The use of LP-series
controllers also are the easiest way to synchronize effects between bars. The
LP-C12 patch allows some pods to be under scene con-trol while other pods are
running effects.
Yorkville LP-608 Lighting Controller
When operating with the Yorkville Sound LP-608 lighting controllers the color
controls on the LP-LED/X Bars re-main active. The Color control can be used to
select the color of each pod or if the Color control is set to off then the
LP-Controller’s intensity control becomes the color control (including off)
but the intensity is not controllable.
Note: Operation with the legacy LP-608 controller will require a ‘gender reversing’ adapter in line with the XLR cable. This was done to prevent accidental connection to a DMX™ controller possibly causing damage.
