Lighting modes

CCT mode
CCT mode is a white light mode. User can change the intensity, the correlated color temperature (CCT) and Green/Magenta deviation of the light output. This is a high color quality mode: the color rendering index (CRI) and Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI) are optimized to ensure best color rendering.

Saturation Offset mode
Saturation offset mode is a white light mode. This mode makes object colors appear fresher and preferred than they are under sunlight. Advanced controls allow users to adjust the skin tone saturation level with a fixed white light appearance, thus to edit the object colors in reality, without changing the white balance settings in cameras.

HSI mode
HSI mode is a color mode. The user can control the Hue, Saturation and Intensity of the color light. The default CCT of the central white point is 6500K, while user can customize from 2700K to 10,000K.

Gel mode
Gel mode is a color mode. The users are able to call up ~ 250 types of Gels, each of the gel has two CCT options, 3200K and 5600K.
