Frequently Asked Questions
What type of LED does the HTK-103LED-BK use?
▾
The HTK-103LED-BK incorporates a standard high-efficiency white LED module that meets industry color-rendering standards. It provides stable illumination without flicker and is rated for a typical lifespan of 30,000 hours, which reduces the need for frequent replacements in both theatrical and architectural settings.
Does the track head require a separate power supply?

How is the beam angle adjusted?
