They are very good, best effect is created by using two units linked.

Then use the search facility - that's what it's there for and there have been quite a lot of posts on here about those lights recently. :)

OK... I'll go away and see what I can do.... did someone say you can't upload AVI ???????

What do I need to do? (Sorry, I know someone has probably posted previously about this, but I'd like to get it dome quickly if anyone can help..... alternatively, if anyone else knows what the hell they're doing and has an account already, I could email it to you and you could put up for me?????????)

go on thenThanks Paul, but my computer seems to be having 40 fits tonight and doing some strange things, plus running slow.

In addition, each time I try to send an email, I keep getting a message after a while that the message could not be sent as the service to my email server was interrupted! :( :(

I'll try to sort something out tomorrow. :( :(

OK - with a very big :thanks: to Mr Palmer (who has given me access to his YouTube account) I have uploaded the much awaited video of the Wildech Kaleido projecting up the side of the building from our garden.

However, you will all have to wait in antici......... pation for a while longer as it says "Uploaded (processing, please wait)", and has done for the last 20 minutes. How long does this usually take?

EDIT: Just read the relevant 'Help' topic on there. Apparently, it "could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours" :(

I've just realised how remarkably steady I was when I took that, considering it was about 9pm & I'd been drinking since 1

Is this (http://www.theelectronicsshop.co.uk/prolight%20kaleido%20twin.htm) the same unit? Seems a good £50-60 cheaper than anywhere else (for the pair)...

Corabar Entertainment

The HID versions came out later (we bought ours when the range first came out) and I haven't actually seen them in action, but having seen the non-HID version in plenty of gig situations, I'm not sure I would want anything brighter - unless for VERY large dance-floors! :eek:

How do you find them Simon? (Obviously, you say worth the extra, but in what way and what about the brightness?)

Check the small print - that price is ex VAT, so not as cheap as they seem (don't know about postage either)

If it looks the same, it's probably the same thing re-badged

Just as an addendum to the video: it is a short one, and I don't think it shows all of the patterns that it produces. At one point it goes completely red roses which is quite nice! I don't think that section is on the video though.
