Panel Colours
Bioguard panels are available in white only.


Operation
Every StarEFX Bio Panel is outfitted with its own starlight module, complete with pre-installed fibre optics, ready to illuminate your space right out of the box.

To power up, you'll need a standard 10Amp GPO for the 12V power supply, which energizes the first panel in the series. To expand your star sensory, each panel includes a power link cable, facilitating a seamless daisy chain connection to additional panels. Whether you're operating in the standalone mode or taking advantage of the customizable options in controller mode, you can connect up to 24 panels to a single power supply.

 

Standalone mode - White colour stars starry effect
The panels operate in a simple on/off mode that displays beautiful shimmering white lights. To turn on or off the starlights, you will need to use a wall switch in addition to the power supply. This allows for convenient and easy control of the starlights.

Components and part numbers
The standalone system of 'white colour starlights', requires only the power supply along with the StarEFX panels to be ordered. In this configuration, one power supply can easily power up to 24 panels, providing you with an efficient standalone setup. However, for colour-changing starlights, the optional controller module is required. This will enable you to enjoy the benefits of a more versatile and dynamic lighting system.

Each panel comes with the fibre optic stars pre-loaded into the panel.
*Note: LightEFX does not supply power outlets or wall switches.

Installation quick guide
Power Supply Setup: 
I
dentify the location for the power supply near a power outlet. The 12V power supply should be accessible for maintenance and close enough to connect to the first panel.

Install First Panel:

 - Locate the first-panel position in the grid closest to the power supply.
 - Place the StarEFX Bio Panel into the grid, ensuring it sits securely on the grid frame.
 - Connect the panel to the 12V power supply.

Daisy Chain Additional Panels:

 - Use the power link cables provided with each panel to connect the first panel to the second, and so forth, in a daisy chain configuration.
 - Continue placing and connecting panels according to your planned layout, ensuring each fits

securely within the grid system.
Controller Module (Optional): If using the controller for colour and effect variations, connect the power supply to the controller with the power link cable connecting from the controller to the first panel.

Testing:

 - Power On and Test: Power on the system once all panels are installed and connected. Test each panel for proper operation, including any colour or effect changes if using the controller module.
