! Read this manual before installing, powering or servicing the fixture, follow the
safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings in this manual. If you
have questions about how to operate the fixture safely, please contact I-Pix.
Warning! Class 2M LED product. Do not look into the beam from a
distance of less than 40 cm (16 inches). Do not stare into the beam
for extended periods at a short distance. Do not view the beam
directly with optical instruments.
This product is for professional use only. It is not for household

PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
Shut down power to the entire installation at the building’s main power distribution board and lock
out power (by removing the fuse for example) before carrying out any installation or
maintenance work.
Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing any cover or part
and when not in use.
Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or changing the fuse.
Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.
Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both
overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Connect this fixture to AC power either using the supplied power cable or via 3- conductor cable
that is rated minimum 20 amp, hard usage. Suitable cable types include
ST, SJT, STW, SEO, SEOW and STO.
The voltage and frequency at the power outlet are the same as the voltage and frequency applied
to the power inlet. Only connect devices to the power outlet that accept this voltage & frequency.
Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect
condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.
Do not use the fixture if the power cable or power plug are in any way damaged, defective or wet,
or if they show signs of overheating.
PROTECTION FROM FIRE
Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses. Replace defective fuses with ones of
the specified type and rating only.
Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 m (4 in.) around fans and air vents.
Do not modify the fixture
Apart from I-PIX accessories do not stick filters, masks or other materials directly onto the light.
PROTECTION FROM INJURY
when
Do not hang fixtures from each other. Use two OMEGA clamps per fixture or
I-PIXrigging
SINGLE
or DOUBLE YOLKS when suspending.
horizontally.
When suspending the fixture, ensure that the structure and all hardware used can hold at least
10 times the weight of all devices suspended from them.
Use two secondary attachments (such as a safety cable) to secure each fixture.
Secondary attachments must be able to hold at least 10 times the weight of all devices
suspended from them and must be installed as described in this manual.
Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing,
servicing or moving the fixture.
The LED emission presents a hazard to eyesight at a distance of 4 - 40 cm (1.6 -16 inches)
when the eye is exposed to the beam for longer than 0.25 seconds.
Do not look at LEDs from a distance of less than 40 cm (1 ft. 4 in.) without suitable
protective eye wear.
Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers or similar optical instruments that may concentrate the
light output.

The performance of these light engines to i-pix's exacting colour specifications gives a tighter tolerance and
improved colour performance, which makes tungsten lighting performance from the BB 34 possible. Daylight
temperatures can also be found with ease and finally a fixture that does not need a nudge from amber to
compensate. The whites are believable and full of low power energy, which makes one wonder if the source is
really an led engine.
The BB 34 has a super smooth control with 16 bit resolution, enhancing the feel of the fixture when wishing to
emulate the tungsten performance you would expect from pre existing fixtures. Different operating modes ensure
ease of use. With consumption of 120
90 watts, the fixture draws half and amp on full @ 240 volts.

Each cell can be individually coloured with its
own red green blue channels. (most useful
when each cell is patched individually -3ch)

Stand alone functions
The BB43 is able to run in a stand alone mode without any need of data from a lighting desk. The light is
capable of outputting up to 20 programmable memories and 1 chase that steps through these memories.
“The light must be in MODE 3 (5ch) for all the stand alone functions to work.”
Storing a DMX Input as a Memory
However if you have access to a lighting desk a quick and easy way to create multiple or complex
memories is to give the light the desired colour information using a lighting desk or similar DMX
generating device and use the STORE function.
1 Connect the light to the desk in the usual way making sure the address is correct and the lamp is in MODE 3.
2 Create the desired colour on the lighting desk.
