Smart K-Link Communication
The new K-Link communication method is an upgrade of the easily plug & play 0-10V, allowing users to network multiple A360 together(up to 32 fixtures per chain) and set individual groups to run their own programs. K-Link is also a two-way communication, meaning the Spectral Controller can detect the number of lights in the network, the status of the lights, etc.
