Brief guide on setting shades of white on your Twinkly devices
Applies to Twinkly Generation I and Generation II devices and Twinkly PRO and Twinkly Plus.
If you're looking to create effects with various shades of white on your RGB, RGB+W, or AWW Twinkly devices, there are a few different approaches you can take. Just remember that each LED profile comes with its own unique features (you can find out more about this here).
Changing the colour of your Twinkly device.
There are three ways you can change the colour of your Twinkly LEDs:
- under the Edit section of the Twinkly app (read more: How do I edit a preset effect?)
- using the FX Wizard, selecting the Colour option, and picking your desired shade of white
- using the Drawing mode.
Setting White Light on RGB+W Devices
Your RGB+W LEDs can produce a range of tones from warm white to cool white.
Simply choose any colour and set the saturation to its lowest level. By moving the slider on the top bar all the way to the left, you'll achieve warm white, while sliding it all the way to the right will give you cool white.
Setting White Light on Multicolour (RGB) Devices
You can use your RGB LEDs to create a range of tones from warm white to cool white.
The various shades come from mixing the three RGB colour sources: red, blue, and green.
To achieve warm white, choose a shade between orange and yellow, and adjust the saturation slider to the right to find your preferred tone.
For cool white, simply select any colour and set the saturation to a minimum.
4. Setting white light on AWW devices
With the AWW, you can easily select between warm or cool whites by adjusting the slider to your preferred shade.
Setting white light on a group of RGB and RGB+W devices
When you have a group of RGB and RGB+W LEDs, they will take on the colour palette of the RGB devices, which means the pure white slider won't be accessible. Please check the instructions in the RGB LEDs section for more details.
How to add the perfect shade of white to your effects
Additionally, you can create your ideal shade of white using the Controls colour palette. Simply copy its HEX code and paste it when you're creating your Drawing effect. (iOS only)
