I have 2 ACME Leo's and 2 ACME Scimitar's controlled via a CA-8 controller. Not really had a play with them yet, and the CA-8 Controller came with no instructions whatsoever. :mad:

Anyone know what control i can have with the CA-8 and how i use it to control the lights? :embarasse

Ta! :teeth:

With the CA-8 controller, you can control the mode (smooth, sound-to-light) the gobos and colour.

For the money, it is an easy controller to use and a bargain at that :)

Good choice of lighting - I have exactly the same! Thought about upgrading and decided to hang on till I can afford moving heads.

Deffinately need the CA-8 as they can be a little manic without! Top button is simply on/off - but only lamp, keeps fan running so is useful for cool down.

Middle button I think is strobe (or function).

Bottom button is most useful as it sets slow program, which is actually just right for most of the time, not just slow songs!

I don't think they do the CA6 anymore Steve (or at least that was what I was told). The CA8 certainly does the trick!
