How to Customize Scenes and Adjust Color Temperature in the AiDot App (v2.5.0)

A 3-step navigation sequence in the AiDot App (v2.5.0) unlocks full 2700K to 6500K color temperature control for the Linkind SL5C Smart Solar Spotlight. Open your spotlight in the app, select the White tab at the top of the interface, and drag the Kelvin slider to your desired temperature. For multi-color dynamic scenes, switch to the Scene tab, tap +, mix your custom RGBTW palette with 1–10 second transitions, and tap Save.

Visual Navigation Guide: AiDot v2.5.0 UI & Kelvin Reference

Use the visual briefs below to locate key software controls within the AiDot v2.5.0 smartphone app and select the correct color temperature for your outdoor space.

Pro Tip: Optimizing Kelvin Values for Foliage and Stonework

Apply the 3000K Rule of Thumb: match color temperature directly to architectural material density. Use warm white (2700K–3000K) on warm red brick, natural wood siding, cedar pergolas, and limestone flagstone to enhance earthy tones without turning surfaces gray. Switch to neutral-cool daylight (4000K–5000K) when illuminating deep green foliage, blue spruce trees, dark granite, or concrete retaining walls. Cool light highlights chlorophyl contrast and makes plants look healthier at night. Always mount fixtures 5 to 7 feet back from your targets to allow the optical lens to spread light evenly.

Selecting the Ideal Scene Mode for Your Outdoor Space

Match your AiDot v2.5.0 operating mode to your primary outdoor goal: choose Static CCT for permanent architectural lighting, Dynamic Scenes for parties and holidays, and Music Sync for social gatherings.

Best choice for

• Static CCT Mode (2700K - 4000K) — Delivers elegant, flicker-free illumination that highlights structural textures and garden canopy lines without distracting color shifts.

• Custom Dynamic RGBTW Scene Groups — Allows custom multi-color cycling with 1–10 second fade transitions synchronized across up to 30 spotlights simultaneously.

• AiDot Music Sync Mode — Uses your smartphone microphone to pulse spotlight brightness and color hues dynamically in real-time rhythm with music playback.

Avoid if

• Avoid setting dynamic scene transitions faster than 2 seconds if your solar panel receives less than 5 hours of direct sunlight daily, as rapid color shifting increases energy draw by up to 25%.

• Avoid using ultra-cool daylight (>5500K) on rich stained timber decking, which results in a harsh, washed-out appearance.

Also consider

• AiDot Factory Preset Scenes — Select pre-built modes like 'Sunset', 'Forest', or 'Reading' when you want instant multi-spotlight coordination without manual color picking.

Determine whether static color temperature tuning, custom dynamic RGBTW scenes, or audio synchronization best suits your lighting project.

Recommended Equipment for Expanded Outdoor Ambiance

For best results when creating synchronized dynamic multi-light scenes, deploy spotlights in multi-pack configurations across your yard zones.

Navigating the AiDot v2.5.0 Color Temperature Spectrum

The update to AiDot version 2.5.0 streamlined the light-tuning workflow, separating functional white light from decorative color mixing. The Linkind SL5C Smart Solar Spotlight uses independent warm white and cool white LED chips alongside RGB diodes. This architectural design allows precise Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) tuning from 2700 Kelvin (Warm Candlelight) to 6500 Kelvin (Cool Daylight).

To adjust color temperature:

Launch the AiDot App (v2.5.0) and tap your Linkind SL5C device card from the home dashboard.

Tap the White tab located on the top navigation ribbon.

Swipe the circular arc slider or horizontal Kelvin bar to select your target temperature.

Use the secondary Brightness Slider (1%–100%) below the Kelvin wheel to set output intensity. Setting brightness to 70%–80% extends night operations by 2 to 3 hours during winter months.

Creating and Saving Custom Dynamic RGBTW Scenes

Dynamic scenes cycle light fixtures through a customized series of colors at specified transition speeds. In version 2.5.0, scene creation supports multi-color grouping and timing parameters:

Select the Scene tab inside the spotlight control panel.

Tap the + (Create New Scene) button at the top right.

Choose your color palette by picking up to 8 individual RGBTW colors from the color wheel.

Adjust the Speed Slider (1s–10s). A 5-second transition produces a soothing ambient gradient, while a 1-second transition creates an energetic party effect.

Tap Save, assign a unique name (e.g., Patio Warm Wash or Autumn Garden), and confirm.

> Important Default Power-On Configuration: To ensure your custom scene activates automatically when the solar panel triggers at dusk, open Device Settings (gear icon) -> tap Default Power-On State -> choose Last Used State or select your specific saved scene.

Synchronizing Scenes Across Multiple Linkind SL5C Units

To apply a custom scene across multiple spotlights simultaneously:

Navigate to the AiDot home tab and tap the + icon to select Create Group.

Select all deployed Linkind SL5C spotlights and name the group (e.g., Front Pathway Lights).

Tap the newly created Group card, navigate to the Scene menu, and apply your custom dynamic preset. All lights in the group will synchronize color timing over the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi mesh network.

Configuring Music Synchronization

Music Sync mode utilizes your mobile device's microphone input to convert live acoustic soundwaves into dynamic lighting responses:

Ensure your smartphone remains within 30 feet of at least one spotlight in the mesh network.

Open your device or group in AiDot v2.5.0 and select the Music Sync tab.

Choose between Rhythm (gradual color changes synced to beat tempo) or Spectrum (vibrant color jumps matched to pitch changes).

Adjust the Microphone Sensitivity slider to avoid light flickering caused by background ambient noise.
