Shelf mode means factory reset mode. In shelf mode, your Voyager is completely switched off and doesn’t drain the battery. Do it if preparing it for storage or travel.
Can I control my DS light heads individually?
Yes! DS fixtures are like "LEGO" bricks- you put each piece together and create a large fixture or control them separately. That means full control!

What is video mapping?
It is a simple way of addding effect on your lights with no programming skills required! check more on the page here
What is RGBW?
RGBW is a novel approach in creating white light by mixing together RGBW at high output. This creates a saturated white light which makes for great skin tones and vibrant crisp images with high color contrast. Our solution gives digital cameras more chromatic information - producing images with superior color depth and higher saturation when compared to traditional high CRI white LEDs.
Is the diffuser in the voyager waterproof as well?
Yes! Just take it out after the shoot and dry it. Looks new again! You can also change it to any other gels you would like.
How much does the shipping cost?
Shipping is free for all orders over 500.

Why does my new voyager not respond when i try to turn it on?
We send out Voyagers in shelf mode, which means they will have full battery once they arrive to your doorstep. Connect it to the power cable and hold the power button for more than 3 seconds until the 1st LED turns green.
While connecting, voyagers ask for a password. what is it?
The default password for all Voyagers is "dsputnik"
Why is the Voyager Smartlight losing battery without active use?
Voyager is ready to work in seconds, so it is waiting for you to use it whenever. That drains it's battery, so, if you decide to travel or not use them for a while, we suggest putting them to shelf mode. Turn your Voyager on. hold both power and status buttons simultaneously for more than 10 seconds. You should not be able to see any led indications on the voyager after it is done.
Why is the app trying to update the voyagers firmware?
We work to make our lights and our software better each day. That is why there are software updates available from time to time. Once you add lamps to updated software, they will need to update lamps too for smooth control.
What do the LED colors indicate on the Voyager?
1st LED: Power Mode
Green: Voyager is ON and fully booted.

Red: Unit is a client and cannot automatically find a network to connect to or has connection problems.
