❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a spyder cable and a cluster module?

Spyder cables (like this 6-LED model) have individual LEDs spaced along a cable, allowing you to position them in different locations for accent lighting. Cluster modules have all 9 LEDs grouped together in a single housing, ideal for concentrated light output in one spot (like a traditional light fitting).

Can I add this spyder cable to my existing Gecko spa system?

Yes, if your spa has an in.mix 300 lighting console or a V3 series control system (in.yj-V3 or in.ye-V3) with in.lu.me output capability. You’ll also need at least one in.lu.me loop cable to connect the spyder cable. Check your control system model to confirm compatibility.

How many spyder cables can I connect to one loop?

This depends on your loop cable model and total LED count. Each 4-connector loop cable can support 4 spyder cables. Each 8-connector loop cable can support 8 connections. However, you’re limited to 120 LEDs total across the entire in.mix 300 system, with max 60 LEDs per output pair.

Is this cable long enough to reach from the equipment area to inside my spa?

The 152.4cm (5ft) length is typically sufficient for reaching from loop cable connections to LED mounting points within the spa cabinet. If you need additional length, Gecko offers IN.LU.ME-EXT-5 extension cables (60 inches / 1.5m) to bridge longer distances.

Can I control different colors in different zones?

Yes! The in.mix 300 system supports up to 3 independent lighting zones. You can assign different spyder cables to different zones and control each zone’s color, brightness, and effects separately. This allows for sophisticated multi-color lighting displays.

What colors can I create with RGB LEDs?

The RGB LED technology allows you to create virtually any color by mixing red, green, and blue light in different intensities. Popular choices include blues and teals for tranquil spa atmospheres, warm ambers and oranges for evening relaxation, vibrant purples and magentas for entertainment, and any shade in between.

Will these LEDs work underwater?

While the IPX5 waterproof rating protects the cable and connectors against water jets and splashing, Gecko recommends positioning in.lu.me spyder LEDs inside the spa cabinet rather than fully submerged. For underwater applications, use the 9-LED cluster module with appropriate waterproof lens housings.

How do I control the lighting from my smartphone?

Install the in.touch 2 app (available for iOS and Android) and pair it with your Gecko control system. The app provides an intuitive color wheel interface, brightness slider, effect selection, and zone control. You can even save favorite color combinations as scenes for one-touch recall.

What is the expected lifespan of these LEDs?

Gecko in.lu.me LEDs are rated for 50,000+ hours of operation. In typical residential spa use (averaging 2-3 hours daily), this translates to 15-20+ years of reliable service. The solid-state LED technology has no filaments to burn out and is highly resistant to vibration and temperature cycling.

Can I install this myself or do I need a technician?

While the keyed connectors and loop system are designed for easier installation than traditional spa lighting, we recommend professional installation by a qualified spa technician. This ensures proper routing, waterproofing, system integration, and maintains your warranty coverage. Electrical work should always be performed by licensed professionals.

What if I want to upgrade to more LEDs later?

The modular in.lu.me system is fully expandable. You can add more spyder cables, cluster modules, or loop cables at any time without replacing existing components. Just ensure you stay within the 120 LED maximum system capacity and follow proper power distribution across the in.mix 300 outputs.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Basic installation requires: Phillips screwdriver, cable ties (spa-rated), wire strippers (if customizing lengths – not typically needed), silicone sealant (for LED mounting points), and possibly a drill (for creating new LED mounting holes). The connectors are tool-free – they simply click together.
