Control each of your your Relio2 lamps with this App! When you pair your second-generation Relio illuminators with this App, you get: - Discovery, listing and renaming of your Relio2 devices - Finely tunable, 100% flicker-free brightness control - Secure mode control (*), for use in public places - Stroboscopic mode control (**), best suited for analogic animations - Notices about future firmware upgrades for your Relio2 devices (*) Secure Mode disables Relio's Bluetooth® antenna after 15 minutes of Relio being powered up. After 15 minutes, Blueotooth communication stops and you cannot control Relio anymore from this App. By unplugging and re-plugging the power cable, Relio's Bluetooth re-activates for another 15 minutes. Secure mode is useful in public or crowded setups, where you want to prevent other poeple from controlling your lighting setup. Just power up and tune your lights 15 minutes before public opening, and you're set to go. (**) Stroboscopic mode generates intermittent light with user-controllable frequency. The strobe effect is well suited for artists that want to experiment with analogic animations. It is well suited for scientific uses as well. WARNING! Epileptic subjects or people potentially sensitive to intermittent lights should never enable the stroboscopic mode. Visuals and technical specifications are subject to change without notice.
