Decoration, photography, performance

RoPE draws a line of light wherever you do not want to run a cable: in an interior, at a photo shoot or on stage.

Magnetic ends let you join RoPE.

Technical specifications (lengths, number of LEDs, runtime) are on the product page in the e-shop. This guide is about using the product.

Charging over USB-C

Plug the USB-C cable from the box into the charging port on the battery box and the other end into a USB charger.

• On the charger RoPE charges, stays switched on and can light up.
• Charging takes about 2 hours with a 2 A charger and up to 4 hours with a weaker one.
• After charging, put the USB cover back on the port.

Props sync with each other over a 2.4 GHz network, and a phone, tablet or computer controls them together over Bluetooth.

Tip: right after purchase, create your own network for your props in the app so they sync only with each other.

Troubleshooting

RoPE goes dark when unplugged from the charger

That is expected. When you unplug the USB cable, the charging chip restarts and the circuit switches off. Switch RoPE on with the button.

RoPE does not light up even after pressing the button

Connect it to the charger — on the charger it is switched on and can light up. Let it charge (about 2 hours with a 2 A charger), unplug it and switch it on with the button. If it still does not light up, email us with a short video: pressing the button on the charger and after unplugging.

The app cannot find RoPE

Check that RoPE is switched on (after unplugging, switch it on with the button), that Bluetooth is on and that you are close by. More tips in app troubleshooting.

Part of the rope does not light up

Send us a short video or a photo of the part that stays dark and we will agree on the next steps.

The device does not respond

Try a restart: connect the device to the charger, unplug the cable after a moment (the circuit switches off) and switch it on with the button. Details in Restart and reset.
