Yeah, that's what I've been told. I'll have a play and let you know.

Well it wasn't that short - about a minute and a half. :confused:

Around £140 each.

[Dragonfly]

Sorry Ross, but what are you on about?

The video is just to give an idea of the kind of thing it does. I'm not going to be making a 20 minute video at a gig, as it will basically show the same thing. :rolleyes:

[Dragonfly]

oh i remember them now ... look a bit like uv cannons but a little bit smaller i think?

NO TEXT SPEAK!!

[sleah]

NO TEXT SPEAK!!


I've been sat here quietly waiting for Steve to post that!:D

Those impossibled's look *really* cool:cool: It would be good to see some video to see how they look against other lights, in terms of brightness etc.
I also wonder how they look just pointing to the dance floor like other effects, & with smo...err..fog.

[soundmaster mobile disco]

I bought my ones today also.Have to say they are much better than i thought they would be.they look big but infact are really lightweight.Patterns and colours are amazing.Look forward to seeing more of the new led lights.

















Well they have dont it again,, the award for this seasons must have lighting effect goes to the .......ACME IMPOSSILED (impossibled). At first glance it might look a bit dodgey,, but this is going to take you by storm when you see it working, it was our favourite new effect from acme at dj show north. You can link them together as master and slave and create a stunning effect. IF YOU ONLY BUY ONE NEW LIGHT THIS YEAR, MAKE SURE ITS THIS!!!! Again it cant go wrong and you can use it all night long, because it has no moving parts, a great advantage we think. But dont be fooled into thinking if ithas no moving parts the light beams will be stationary, this thing fills the room with moving light. lets say Acme have achieved the impossible with the impossiled....

Strobe and 0 - 100% dimmable
Low heat and low power consumption

[Have a disco]

OK these look like 1st generation LED lighting basic but effective

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Just one Eddie.

[soundmaster mobile disco]

i would not say they are basic,you have to see them to see for youself before you can say something like that.

[Corabar Steve]

Light screen = Basic, these are not

[Penfold42]

Like the effect..all that from one light......:cool:

[Spirits High]

Read the review in Pro mobile, now seen them in action, want one!

Just need to pay for some advertising then I shall add the to the wish list!

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Just in case anyone is thinking about buying one, the wrong manual is in the box. Either that or they changed the design of the light last minute.

[Thames Valley Discos]

are they really this big?

So they say, promised delivery for Tuesday, normally they are reliable.
Sometimes they ship direct from supplier though, but never had a problem as yet from memory

Me neither, but there seems to be a lot of companies saying they have products 'in stock' when they don't, and it's much easier to give a cheaper price when you know you don't have any stock. ;)

[soundmaster mobile disco]

well good luck i hope that you get your lights!!!!!!!!

[Dance FX]

We have one too!

It arrived Thurdsay morning and it gets its first proper outing tonight at an indoor venue.

We used it at a kids party last night and it filled the whole garden with light :)

[soundmaster mobile disco]

i used mine on friday and saturday night,Halls were completly different and i have to say the impossibled was truly amazing ,Well worth the money.I am know thinking about getting 2 marveled to go with the impossibled.(what a lightshow that would create)!!!!!!!!!

[Thames Valley Discos]

did you get any pics/video?

[soundmaster mobile disco]

Here is a photo of the impossibled.I do have a video but i will have to reduce the size,When i do that i will post it on here.:D

[Dance FX]

Soundmaster, are your tango's LED too? We bought a led Tango and its great :)

Used the impossibled on Sat and it was a small room so the light filled the whole dance floor and half the wall too! (no photos, sorry, forgot the camera)

[soundmaster mobile disco]

No they are the original ones,although if i can sell these ones i may consider led tangos.It was a small hall so i dont normally use tangos but on this occassion a 18th Birthday party i thought i would.Have to say they both went together really well.

[videoguy]

After ordering 4 of these lights from Phase1 in Darlington in early August I finally took delivery of them last Thursday.

I DMX them up together in Master and Slave mode and control them with the SC8 controller and all I can say is the result is simply mind blowing, the intensity of the colours is rich and powerfull and look great in a room with or without a smoke/haze machine.

Did'nt get chance to video them over the weekend but intend to do just that this week and post the result in the forum.

I paid £515 for the four lights which included PAT testing, DMX cables, SC8 controller and delivery which I thought was a great deal (Cheers Mike)

[mr rusty]

yes, the light is ace, the manual is pants. One thing I can't figure - on my unit, you select the show 1-12, but once 10 seconds have elapsed, you can't change the show number without going in to the menu again, which turns the light off. Anyone found a way round this? I realise show "0" cycles through all the other different shows, but it would be nice to just use the up-down buttons to quickly select an individual show without going in to the menu.

As I say, the manual is almost no help at all.

Hi Chris

You may want to say hello in the newbie bit of the forum. :)

[blitz]

whats the brightness like on these? compairable to 100w, 250w more, less inbetween?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

whats the brightness like on these? compairable to 100w, 250w more, less inbetween?

That depends on what the effect is that you're comparing it to.

[soundmaster mobile disco]

Well Brad i have 2 datamoons which are 250 watt and i would say that they are just as bright if not brighter.The important thing about the impossibled is not the brightness but the superb lightshow that it provides.

[Excalibur]

Soundmaster, are your tango's LED too? We bought a led Tango and its great :)

Used the impossibled on Sat and it was a small room so the light filled the whole dance floor and half the wall too! (no photos, sorry, forgot the camera)

I saw the LED Tango at DFB, and am pretty sure it will be the next light I buy! ( Even though I had no wish to buy one previously)

That looks good, can't wait till tomorrow(it will arrive) for mine!

[Thames Valley Discos]

guess what? the light was in stock, arrived this morning

[soundmaster mobile disco]

Video has now been added of the impossibled to the gallery section!!

[good vibrations]

All that light for so little money glad i have ordered one
Nice video by the way

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

I must admit after watching all your videos on this site and on youtube as well as the ones on the websites selling the product im starting to lose intrest in this light. after a while it looks boring and a bit dim compared to some twister style lights.

I am now having serious douts about adding this unit to my show.

[Vectis]

Well I still think the one I have is a great addition as a centrepiece to my show. Previously I relied on a pair of datamoons for 'middle-of-the-dancefloor' effects and movement, now I can supplement them with the impossibled. I tend to use the LED light for disco classics, 60's-80's music, and the moons at other times.

[Dragonfly]

i have 2 of themm and i love them totally converted as they compliment the effect of the rest of the show and fit in perfectly with what im trying to do lighting wise

They are as bright as most 250w moonflower type lights and I think that you'd get bored with any effect tbh.

I'm taking your advice on this and am planning to go see this light in action when my local DJ shop gets them back in stock (hopefully mid Dec).

I'll post my thoughts on the unit when ive seen it.

[Vectis]

You know it makes sense! :D

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

I must admit i want one but not 100% sure.

Does anyone know if you can get a hand held controler with them? just a simple one as i want it slow at the start of the night and fast at the end to give a good effect?

In your Opinion what lights work well with this unit? I was thinking about getting 2 twister type of light effects to go with this unit.

[Dragonfly]

I use 2 with a mirrorball illuminated with 2 colour changers and 2 moving heads all 250w halogen lamps and its created the exact effect i want for the show , think it looks classy but modern.

I use a CA8 with mine, and let the thing go sound-to-light. There's not really a concept of "Slow & Fast" unless you fully DMX the thing although some of the pre-programmed sequences are more fluid than others if that helps :confused: :p

I use mine with this lot for kids parties:

Pair of Stormbirds (sound-to-light)
Pair of Dynarolls (CA8 sound-to-light)
Couple of lasers (sound-to-light)
Laserball
Pair of loopytubes (StL)
Starcloth (StL)

ImpossibLED stays on all night; I change the program from time to time.


And with this lot for weddings etc.
Set of 4 Dynamos (DMX)
Pair of Dynarolls (DMX)
Up to 4 lasers (some StL, some DMX), sparingly
Pair of loopytubes (StL)
Pair of Datamoons (handheld DMX controller)
Up to 4 moving heads (DMX)
Laserball
Mirrorballs
Starcloth (StL)

ImpossibLED is used for floor infill during dancy tracks. For slower stuff I'll typically use just mirrorballs lit by heads or mirrorballs plus datamoons on slow-rotate.

I'm going to disagree with you there slightly as there are a couple of programmes (shows 3 and 4) which are definately slower and not so manic as some of the others.

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Can someone please explain what they mean by "Programs"? how do you change between they? how long do each programe last for?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

When you use the CA-8, press the bottom button and the red led will come on. You can then use the middle button to scroll through the different programmes or shows.

If you leave the button unpressed so that the red led isn't on, it will say show '0' and will automatically scroll through the different shows.

[Steve the DJ]

Does anyone know if these are in stock again anywhere?

[Vectis]

Agree. I just don't think I could use one for a smoochie dance. Hence I use it as 'infill'.

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

thanks for clearing that up for mr Solitaire Entertainments Ltd.

This little controller seems perfect if it can change between slow and fast programs exactly what i'm looking for. Can this controller be used on any DMX effect?

thought my two held there own well last night an a school drama/theatre studio .... its a huge venue.

just to give an idea of the spread and brightness from 2 of these.
