I have an LED Par light that behaves differently when used standalone compared to when controlled via the Wolfmix W1 DMX controller.
• Standalone Mode: When I select the white color directly on the fixture, it seems to use only the white LEDs (if available), and the output looks clean.
• DMX Mode with Wolfmix W1: When I select white through the controller, the output has a noticeable mix of other colors (RGB).
I’m wondering:
1. Is this a problem with the fixture profile in Wolfmix W1?
2. Is there a way to force the controller to use only the white LEDs (if available) instead of mixing RGB?
3. Could this be related to the DMX mode or channel settings on the fixture?
If anyone has experienced similar issues or knows how to fix this, your advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Why does my LED Par light produce different white colors in standalone mode vs. DMX control with Wolfmix W1?

Hello,
Thanks for raising this thread! By default, instances where there is a White colour (i.e. in the Colour FX or static Colour screen), then White colour will include RGB values set to 255, as well as the White channel set to 255. The reason for this is that:
a) Not all fixtures have a White channel.
b) You can sometimes have multiple fixtures in the same Group, some with a White channel and some without.
If you hold shift + select the White colour, you will be able to set the RGB values to 0, and keep the White value at 255- allowing for a more pure white colour. Please note if you do have other fixtures in the same Group that DONT have a White channel- these fixtures will appear dark, since the RGB values are set to 0 and there is no White LED to produce the light instead.
Kind regards,
Will
