When to use what: Choose Bluetooth for single-zone quick looks, ILS for unified system scenes, and D-Fi USB when you need full DMX control minus the copper.
Optical System & Photometrics — SlimPAR T6 BT ILS
Focused wash that reads on camera. The 17° beam / 33° field pairs clean edge control with usable spread for walls, columns, and décor. A 0–20 Hz strobe adds energy for drops without overwhelming dining rooms.
Usable output for real rooms. With 1754 lux @ 2 m from six 4.8 W tri-color RGB LEDs (50,000-hour life), you get saturated color that photographs well and blends smoothly for uplights and fills.
Placement guidance: Start at 2–3 m spacing for even wall tone; tighten spacing on dark surfaces or increase height for broader blends.
Power Architecture & Linking — SlimPAR T6 BT ILS
Global-ready power. Auto-ranging 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz with modest draw (21 W; 0.3 A @ 120 V) keeps thermal and circuit budgets predictable for banquet halls and clubs.
Fast cable discipline. Power linking supports up to 25 units @ 120 V (38 @ 230 V), reducing home-runs and setup time. Route runs along walls, label the chain, and reserve end outlets for control nodes.
Consistency across phases. Maintain fixture order for uniform dimming response; verify final looks at show intensity before doors.
