also a silly question, but why would u want to?

[Sam]

If they are led par cans ? then yes you can.

[Sam]

ah ok..
They are standard ones.. a mate of mine is trying to offload some on me :teeth: I am not too sure about them.

[Ricesnaps]

If they are led par cans ? then yes you can.
and dmx control would actually make sense with these!

[Sam]

lol..
I probs wont get them..
Moving heads all the way for me :teeth:

Par cans and moving heads 2 different light effects.

I have 2 led par cans on sound to light pointing backwards and lights up the raer of stage.

Moving heads sends light all over 360 degrees around the room.

I like moving heads and is one of my projects to get, but will add 2 more par cans then the controller, then the heads will come in, then hopfully my light show will be complete. This will give me 14 different light effects at different times. and dxm controlled. Thats my goal and not far away from now.

[Sam]

yeh..
Should have my moving heads by next week.. par can was just an interest point really

Par cans can be controlled by DMX. You just need a DMX switch pack (costs around £60-100 for a 4 channel one). Connect the DMX controller to the switch pack and you can dim each LED attached to it and program chases etc.
