##### Ring Light Control Modes

Ring lights can be controlled in up to four ways, to make setting the needed lamp's state as quickly as possible.

Change Lamp

Clicking the Change Lamp button will allow you to treat a Ring Lamp as a single bulb. This allows you to quickly set all the separate LEDs to On or Off. You can also change the intensity of ALL the LEDs to a specific value. In the example below, one of the LEDs was clicked and they all turned off.

Change Ring

Clicking the Change Ring button will allow you to treat a ring lamp as a series of rings. This allows you to quickly set all the LEDs in one or more rings to On or Off. You can also change the intensity for one or more rings to a specific value. To select more than one ring, click the first ring then hold the CTRL button while selecting additional rings. Selecting a different ring without holding CTRL will deselect the previously selected ring.

In the example below, the outer ring is selected (shown as green intensity circle) and the other two rings are not.

Note: Clicking on an LED (anywhere except in the intensity circle) will turn that LED, and the others in that ring, to Off (as shown in the right hand picture above after the top LED was clicked).

Change Sector

Clicking the Change Sector button will allow you to treat a ring lamp as a series of sectors. This allows you to quickly set all the LEDS in one or more sectors to On or Off. You can also change the intensity for one or more sectors to a specific value. In the example below, the intensity can not be set per sector on this lamp, so the intensity circles are grayed out. However, you can set the bulb state for all LEDs in a sector (as shown in the right hand picture after the top LED was clicked)

Change Bulb

Clicking the Change Bulb button will allow you to treat a ring lamp as a series of separate LEDs. This allows you to set one or more of the LEDs to On or Off. You may also change the intensity of one or more of the LEDs to a specific value. Again, in the example below, this lamp can’t cope with changing intensity other than per bulb, so the intensity rings are greyed out. However, you can switch a specific LED bulb on/off by clicking on it.

Note: The availability of these options is dependant on what the hardware supports.
