R) or the AsteraApp™ between one and twenty hours.
The battery is specified to last for 300 full discharge cycles. Its runtime will have decreased to
70% by then. To increase the battery life it is recommended to recharge as early as possible
and not let the light run until the battery is depleted.
If operated below 20°C, the battery runtime may be slightly shorter than predicted. This is also
true if the lights are stored for a long time at cold temperature right before they are used.
The light is constantly monitoring the LED temperature and dims down the brightness if it
exceeds 65°C. That ensures a save and long-live operation but in a hot environment the
brightness might be slightly lower.
NOTE:
Always store the lights with full battery.
Depleted batteries must be recharged immediately, otherwise their performance will suffer.
ATTENTION:
The battery may be only replaced with an original Astera replacement battery.
3.5.1 STANDBY
By using the AsteraApp™, the light can be set to a special standby mode.
In that mode, its ouput is switched off, the CRMX receiver is powered down and it enters a
state of low power consumption.
A full battery will supply the SpotLite™ roughly 20 days in standby mode.
To light leaves the standby mode if the ENTER key is pressed or the standby mode is left by the
AsteraApp™.
3.6 BATTERY ICON AND STATUS LED
The Battery Status LED is designed for being used before an event. All fixtures should have a
green Status LED to ensure that the battery lasts for your upcoming event. If it is another color,
recharging is recommended.
While the light is connected to AC, the Status LED will be blue. While it is charging, the Battery
Icon will start the charging sequence. Once the battery is fully charged the battery icon on
the display will show all 3 bars (as below). If the battery is already fully charged and the
power cord is plugged in, the display will show a battery with moving bars for approx. 30-60
seconds after which it will stop and the icon will show a full battery.
3.7 CHARGING
Charge the light immediately after use.
