Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Vela Cubo planter 60x60x100 cm suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the matte version is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. The lacquered version is intended exclusively for indoor use. Drainage is required for outdoor use.
Which color can be illuminated?
Only the ice color, and only in the matte version. The body is translucent in this version – illumination is not possible with any other colors or in the lacquered version.
What are the lighting specifications?
The white LED emits light at 3000 Kelvin (warm white). All mains-powered and battery-powered versions are rated IP65 and therefore approved for wet areas, designed for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. The cable versions include a 4–5 m long white cable with an EU plug. The RGB versions with cable or battery come with a radio remote control (RF433, 10–15 m range), which allows you to switch between colors and shades of white. CE, RoHS, and UL certified.
How long does the battery last?
The Li-ion battery (12 V) lasts 6 to 8 hours depending on the model. The charging time is approximately 5 hours, and the battery is designed for about 500 charge cycles; the charger is included. The battery version is also rated IP65.
What do I need for Wi-Fi control?
The Wi-Fi versions operate with a DMX-1024 decoder via a 2.4-GHz radio signal. This allows multiple lights to be controlled simultaneously. Important: The controller itself is not included – available as a home Wi-Fi controller (compatible with iOS and Android) or as a professional DMX controller with an XLR connection.
What are the benefits of the self-watering system?
The "matte with self-watering system" version includes a water reservoir, from which the plant can draw water for an extended period. This noticeably extends the watering intervals – practical for large planters and when on vacation.

Wipe the body with water and a mild cleaner. Clean the lacquered version only dry or slightly damp and do not expose it to the elements.
