What You’ll Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• Betopper LM1925 moving head light
• Wolfmix W1 controller
• DMX cables (3-pin or 5-pin)
• A stable power source
• Basic knowledge of DMX addressing

 Betopper LM1925 Programming Guide (Wolfmix W1)  

Step 1: Connect the Fixture

• Plug the LM1925 into power.
• Connect Wolfmix W1 DMX OUT → LM1925 DMX IN with a DMX cable.
• For multiple fixtures, chain DMX OUT → DMX IN from one to the next.
• Place a DMX terminator in the last fixture.

✔️ This ensures a stable signal flow from the controller to all fixtures.

Step 2: Set DMX Address and Channel Mode

1. On the LM1925 screen, press Menu → DMX Address.
2. Set the first fixture to 001.
3. For additional fixtures, increase the address according to the channel mode (e.g., in 23CH mode: first light = 001, second light = 025).
4. Go to Menu → Channel Mode, choose:

• 23CH for standard functions (recommended for beginners).
• 35CH for more control.
• 78CH / 111CH for pixel control and advanced programming.

✔️ The DMX address is how the controller identifies each fixture.

Step 3: Add LM1925 to Wolfmix W1

• On Wolfmix, go to Fixture Setup → Add Fixture.
• Search Betopper LM1925 in the library.
• Select it and assign the same DMX address you set on the fixture.
• Confirm.

✔️ Now the controller knows what kind of light it is talking to.

Step 4: Test Basic Controls

• Use Pan/Tilt controls → the head should move.
• Raise the Dimmer → the light should brighten.
• Adjust Zoom → narrow beam or wide wash.
• Change Colors (RGBW channels).
• Turn on Strobe for flashing.

✔️ If these work, the fixture and controller are correctly linked.

Step 5: Program Advanced Effects

• Prism: Split the beam into multiple rays with rotation.
• Pixel Control (111CH): Control each LED for animations.
• CTO: Shift from warm amber to cool white.
• Built-in Macros: Use pre-programmed patterns like swirl or rainbow.

✔️ These features allow professional-level show design.

Step 6: Save Scenes and Shows

• On Wolfmix, press Scene.
• Save your current look as Scene 1.
• Create another look (e.g., moving prism + strobe) → save as Scene 2.
• Chain multiple scenes together into a Show for playback.

✔️ This gives you instant recall during live events.

Step 7: Troubleshooting

• No response: Check DMX cable, address, and ensure fixture is in DMX mode (not Auto/Sound).
• Wrong colors/effects: Verify channel mode matches Wolfmix profile.
• Flicker or delay: Add a DMX terminator, shorten cable runs.
• Light on but not controllable: Switch back to DMX mode in the menu.

Advanced Usage and Applications of Betopper LM1925

After completing the basic programming, you can move on to practical show setups. Below are ready-to-use programming ideas you can apply directly on the Wolfmix W1 with the LM1925.

👉 Perfect for first dances, speeches, or formal dinners.

3. Theater & Drama Setup – Mood Lighting with Precision

Goal: Support dramatic storytelling with colors and pixel effects.

How to program:

• Use Pixel Control (111CH mode) for fine control.
• Assign a wave chase across the 19 LEDs.

• 6000K+ for dramatic or cold atmospheres
• Program cues in Wolfmix to trigger with scene changes on stage.

👉 This setup works for plays, musicals, or artistic performances.

4. Live Concert Setup – Big Stage Impact

Goal: Fill large stages with dynamic moving effects.

How to program:

👉 Switch between looks during songs to build drama and keep the audience engaged.

5. Quick Maintenance Tips for Reliability

• Always test saved scenes before the show.
• Keep lenses clean for maximum brightness.
• Use DMX terminators to prevent flicker in large setups.
