1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Solaris LED FLARE is an RGBW combination wash/strobe with 1000 Watts of unprecedented RGBW LED
brightness. The FLARE functions simultaneously as a brilliantly bright Wash and Strobe. One Solaris FLARE
does the job of many conventional LED fixtures, saving setup time and labor. Its multiple LEDs are so powerful
and closely coupled they look like a single giant LED. The sheer power of the FLARE rivals traditional tungsten
DWE stage lamps but without the “dots”.
Mix or bump thousands of colors instantly! Use alone or synchronize multiple units to create large-scale color-
changing strobe effects. The extremely high refresh rate of these versatile, compact RGBW fixtures make them
ideal for TV and film applications, as well as theatre, concert, dance club, and rental applications of all kinds.

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Upon receiptof the fixture, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents (see above) to ensure that all parts
are present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if
any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all
packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be
returned in the original factory box and packing.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Before powering the unit, make sure the line voltage is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture
accommodates 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz. All fixtures must be powered directly from a switched circuit and cannot
be operated with a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used
solely for a 0-100% switch.
When powered up, FLARE performs a pre-programmed internal test. On initial power-up the factory default
DMX address appears on the display screen and FLARE is ready for operation. After initial power-up, the last-
saved DMX address last saved will appear.
FREQUENCY SETTING
Depending on location, change the Default Frequency setting to match the mains power (e.g. Canada and the
US should be set at 60Hz). Proper frequency setting will ensure minimum amount of visible artifacts when using
FLARE on camera.
