Got these today.
Fitted with standard UK 3 pin mains plug , replaced with standard IEC male plug.
I ran these through ADJ mydmx , nice little effect.
Not a bright as a LED par 64/56, but these are very small.
I`ll get some more soon

The unit diameter-wise is about the size of a CD. Depth-wise, probably the same as a can of coke...sorry, I know they aren't great descriptions but I don't have the dimensions on me at the moment. They are very bright for their size and do a good job.

Off topic slightly...someone yesterday mentioned that they use ADJ MYDMX... I've been looking online at videos of this today and really like the look of it so I will be getting one asap as I think it will really help when I do lighting for gigs etc and it will also be good to use when doing uplighting too.

Up lighting for me as well.
On a mute point , within 1 hour of being used 3 of the 4 units developed faults.
On 2 units one block of three green LED`s failed , the third unit two blocks of three green LED`s failed , strange how it was only green :confused: .

The good news..
I brought them from http://www.lifeismusic.co.uk/ , after a phone call this morning , they offered to collect and replace them this afternoon :eek: .
I had not even packed them up , so I arranged for tomorrow , I do have to replace the IEC plugs with the original 3 pin types.

While they were working , they were brighter then their size dictates ,think I`ll order another dozen.

Cheers

I went into my local DJ shop yesterday and the guy said he has had a few units back since christmas due to a bad batch as noted by ADJ. I think he said that they recalled a whole bunch of them. I haven't had any problems with mine at all.

10-02-2009, 08:51 PM
Well that`s put my mind at rest , I was beginning to think that I have upset the green LED people :D .
I have two of the visio par 64 LED`s , one of them had a fault....................you guessed it , the green LED`s again.

bought two of these last week and think they are brilliant for the size and gigs we do the light output is perfect.

Quick question, anyone got details of where to get right angled dmx leads? As have made a platform for them and the clearance with a normal XLR means the xlr is right on the bracket and over time i think the quality of the lead will decrease greatly!

Blooming brilliant Gary. Ill be investing in a load of them then :D

How many do you recommend. I now that its one of the "how longs a piece of string" kind of questions, but for most "average" size venues, i wouldnt need more that 12 would i?

Shakermaker Promotions
19-07-2009, 10:59 AM
I would say 10 - 12 is more than enough personally. They are very bright for their size. They come with the plugs on already. I got my sparky mate to put IEC plugs on the end of them so they can be extended. What I would say though is that although they are fine as they are, they are better with a base on them to stop them from falling over or getting knocked over. I can't remember who did it (sorry) but someone on here made their own bases for them and they looked really good so I went out and did the same.

I went to Homebase and got some blocks of wood cut up, painted them black and then drilled through them and secured the units to them with long screws and fly bolts (is that what they're called?). They are much more sturdy now. I also use the Colourbursts for band lighting or karaoke lighting and usually stick 4 of them on 2 x T-Bar's or just 6 of them on 1 T-Bar. I think they are great little lights and there's a lot you can do with them to create a nice feel. I always have one with me when I go to see my customers and have noticed that 9 times out of 10, once I start mentioning the Uplighting and show them the photos and then the actual unit and the colour mixes (Lilac and Blue being the most popular), they go for it and it's an extra added bonus. Go get 'em mate!

Cheers Gary. I remember the Gallery thread. It was daryll if i remember correctly. Do you have a masic desk for control, or just use dipswith settings. I just thinking for when they want the colour on before the disco starts.

I originally bought the ADJ MyDMX for them but only used it once at home. Generally, I use them as stand alone units all set to the same colour or colour mix. I've seen the units Darren has (Visio Par 64) and I like them a lot but I think I will stick with what I have for the moment. The thing that stands out about Darren's units is the desk that comes with it as I have just watched an online video for it and it seems very easy to use as it is the dedicated unit made specifically to control them. The price puts me off them at the moment at around £240.00 a pair including controller, especially when I have lots already. I would still recommend the LEDJ's thoroughly though and if there was a simple desk to control them like the Visio's then I would go that way.

I did a site visit today and the output wasn't ample. I've got some venues with really high ceilings this summer and they won't do the job. :)

They will! Youve seen piccys of other members using them with stupidly high ceilings.

You seem very snappy recently, i think we need a good late night long chat :D

Must be time of the month eh Charlie (joke!).
I've posted photos as have others of high ceilings etc and they do the job. I don't see what the problem is? If you don't like them then that's fair enough but a number of us use them and have no problems at all.

I've got to light up a chapel in April. The ceiling is twice the height of the 'tall ceiling' you posted. :)

Paul has also said he will use the 56's for larger venues instead of the colour bursts.

Venue dependant and also how "discreet" the uplighting needs to be. There's nothing wrong with Colourbursts.

Of course the 56's will be brighter as they've got 10mm leds in them ;)

Why do you need the controller? What do you want to achieve?

The ability to colour mix, have the cans sound to light and for them to slowly fade throughout the evening.

Isn't there any other cheaper 4 channel cans?

I have a good deal with the ebay seller which I'll probably go with TBF.

You can do most of that with the Pulse ones. They work master and slave S2L and they have a fade facility. It depends how far you need to go with the colour mixing really.

I just wanted to be able to control it behind my desk. With the CPC cans they have to be preset beforehand. I can't change the colours throughout the evening can I?

Oh to be able to just say "I'll have 16 of them" just like that. Charlie, you must either be doing very well or have lots of spare cash. Fair play to you.
I'm mega busy but I couldn't just find nearly £2000 for 16 of those lights just like that.

People are giving you advice mate and Darren has already recommended the Pulse ones on a few occasions. You've purchased Colourbursts which you aren't convinced by and now it looks like you just want to go out and blow £2000 ish on the ones on the link? It just looks like you don't actually know what you want to do to be honest with you.

I've spoke to the guy who owns the shop and I've arranged a deal with him.

£775 for 16 cans complete with DMX leads. Not bad IMO.

Quick one to all those with colourbursts..

I like the idea of daisy chaining.. Instead of having massive IEC leads all leading back to the DJ Booth...

Do you do this or do you place them next to the plug sockets or just run extensions all over the place.

How does everyone deal with the power wires???

Depends on the venue , the tythe barn at petersfield has mains outlets ever 3 meters , ideal , but usually I daisy chain them all with a selection of 2/3 and 5m cables , the colourbursts are less than 10w each , so a theoretical amount would be 25 ish , and for each light , a "Y" iec connector.

A number of venue I go have lots of sockets spread out down the main walls of the venue so it is ideal just to plug them in where they are. I use 'Y' connectors too if I need to. I am at a venue this coming saturday doing the Disco and Uplighting for a wedding so I will take some photos as I could do with some new ones. I went to visit it last night and it is perfect for Uplighting as it has 5 sockets down each side of the venue.

It also has a massive stage so I will uplight behind me too.

The only thing I don't like about Uplighting (although it does look great at the time), is when someone wants Colour Changing Uplighting and not Static. It's the DMX leads etc that need to be connected up etc as unless you set them all to colourfade and have them all running off the same power supply which you can just flick on, you have to connect all the DMX leads up. It's a pain but I make sure that if someone goes for that rather than Static, they pay extra for it.

Yeah.. I quite like the http://www.djanddiscostuff.com/prodpage.asp?prodid=3145

With the Acme they have a sound to light function too.. As well as 15 pre programmed lighting settings for colours..

But the colourbursts are too cheap to ignore. 10 for the same price as 4 of these.. but these have IEC in and out.

Forget the IEC In/Out, buy some Y Splitters for £3.71 each
