Hi, I’m sorry that the video was too fast for you. Unfortunately I do not have the time to make videos anymore; but I think that with just reading the manual and playing around with the light you’ll be able to figure it out. Everything can be accessed by hitting just the menu button, you can read the manual to find out what each thing in the menu does and determine if you want to turn it on/off or enter that mode. if you’re just starting out with lighting, you do not need DMX, unless you’re doing some big synchronized show. The only thing you would do regarding DMX in this case is if you had 2 or more of them; Then you’d do a “master-slave” configuration where you connect the DMX out of one light into the DMX in of the other so that they are synchronized, and maybe do a pan/tilt reverse on the second one so that they move in a more interesting pattern.

@@aaronproductionslighting Sera para este Modelo de Cualquier Marca ? 🤔

I don’t use them that much, but they do still work. I think that they are great for the price i paid ($50 each), they are really bright and are pretty quick, but they are cheaply made and the tilt motor has to be the worst part of this thing, it’s just so loose any bump would throw it off. Nowadays, I would probably save my money for something better, but for someone who is just doing parties, buying lights for kids, or having a light show in the basement they are great

if you’re referring to when it happens when you first plug it in, that is completely normal. The motors do not have any sensors so they use the motor stopping as a message to tell the unit that the mirror is at the end. But if it’s doing that after the initial turn on one, then there is an issue. I’ve had it happen with these when I use them outside and it’s cold I guess the motors don’t like the cold and get knocked out of position which causes the motor to get out of alignment and then jam up when it hits the end stop

Thanks for your reply and your help! Def not the cold unfortunately. Took them out of box and put on Sound Mode and the mirror keeps banging.

@@aaronproductionslighting Hi! I just bought one of this and is it normal when you first plug it in that the mirrors bang the unit for a few seconds? Is it normal the first time you plug it in for the first time? Or is it going to do that every time you plug it in?

I use Chauvet ShowXpress now.

Leds have a average of 50000 hours life span and that is around 14 years so they will last longer than that is the internal brain of the light doesn't fail I have never had a problem with mine

They always were too much trouble than they were worth, the motors constantly got misaligned and needed to be reset. So i put the slim pars that were with the scanners on the garage and got rid of them and the poles. also too much risk with the public being able to touch them

For this light, the cheapest I would go with is a chauvet Obey 40, you can get cheaper controllers on eBay/amazon that do the same thing, just look for something that can handle at least 10 or more channels, and has at least 6 faders per "page" in order to make it so you dont have to click a button to go back and forth in order to program this light. If you're looking for a software solution, ShowXpress is great if you plan on expanding your lighting invnetory and want to have things like buttons you can click for scenes, buttons to flash lights on, a timeline sequence, midi control, etc.

These are way too dim, only useful if they are paired with other super dim lights in a small room or else they get drowned out. It say go for a higher wattage model like the intimidator 260 or 360

I used them. for a church service they are were dim a little but only color jay didn’t stand out was red we had the lights off and we had the stage lite with par lights and the

Thanks! Yes a Hurricane 1800 Flex with a Lasko blower fan. I have a haze machine too but it doesn’t output enough to keep up unless it’s a foggy/humid night.

I saw this video on my recommended and randomly saw this comment.

It is fixed

I still edit on S4, if i do my pixel tree I may use S5 to program it, but when you use so many channels like me, the lack of the “channel configuration” tab in the newer software sucks… I had to change every unit ID because of a conflict issue, and with the channel config page in S4 it took a few minutes, whereas in S5 I would need to go and open every channel individually

@@aaronproductionslighting I have Phil on LOR forums to thank for sorting out my grouping issues I didn't know I had. He laid out my issues wholistically and talked some sense into my head. Initially when I asked you for assistance I had no concept of grouping and what that meant in terms of my applications in the S5 or S6 LOR software. But I see that grouping all my mover lights according to function was exactly what I needed. Since I have 8 movers, grouping made working with them much easier. That also made writing chases loads easier, either with the chase function or by hand. I think I have 150+ dmx channels and 32 channels of xmas lights now. Matt also helped me sort out some technical issues with my showtime director. I can't comment on your channel configuration issues, as my software came stock with S5, and I was only on S5 for a few weeks before I had to upgrade to S6. So I mostly learned on S6 with some help from Phil.

Thank you so much buddy

funny that you ask that since I am looking for more of those myself, since I have a bunch of Chauvet fog machines that have mineral deposits all over the “filters” which are really just cone pneumatic silencers with push to connect fittings… but I can’t find them easily. I’m sure chauvet sells them on their parts store but I’m not going to pay $5 for one plus $10 shipping

I have, I just am not a big fan of the design and how large it is; at that point I would rather buy a moving head that would give me more flexibility, though, of course there are special applications where scanners are more useful, just not for me

@@aaronproductionslighting It’s not that big. Honestly the photos of the product suck. The design is pretty nice looking and it’s super bright. It also moves quite a bit faster than the scan 110

My point was it was somewhere that doesn’t have the conditions that mine are exposed to :)

I do not believe that is possible with any of their moving heads, including their most expensive ones; but it would be called pan/tilt speed. If you’re looking for control you would need to use DMX, some software based DMX controllers allow for audio to trigger cues. Though, now I wonder if the moving heads that have the ability to use DMX to trigger the auto programs and have a pan/tilt speed control channel can use those commands at the same time to make the auto mode slower… but that would be with a more advanced fixture than this one anyways.

@@aaronproductionslighting you can control speed with a good dmx controller,

This was a chauvet ladder truss pack, it comes with 2 T-Bars that the 10ft truss section attaches to; not sure if they sell them anymore but you can find similar online - Just probably will not be the same thickness/quality as the chauvet. These are on the included tripod stands, but if you’re mounting in the ceiling just make sure you use appropriately rated mounting hardware, and if it’s a commercial installation you would need a pro to do it for liability reasons. I currently use regular Box truss totems to hold up my ladder truss, which i would recommend investing in box truss and maybe some crank stands for the best setup option- brands like duratruss and trusst (chauvet) are good.

Trust me, that’s what I said many years ago - this is just something you learn as you go! I’ve been interested in it my whole life, I started buying some cheap lights and things to fix up and It has gotten me to a really good understanding of it all 😃

Hi, what was the new problem and did you manage to fix it? Pretty much have the exact same problem, no broken spring but the pump simply buzzes with nothing to show for it. Thanks for the video, looking at a pretty expensive solution with importing the pump costing more than the pump's actual price xD

@@callumsutherland7370 Try using a syringe to blow out the pipes inside

You are correct, it has a gobo of my logo but I turned it off for the video. Thanks!

@@aaronproductionslighting Nice! Do you have any trouble using that fixture outdoors even though it's not IP rated? I know those things can take a beating, I'm just afraid to use mine in my own show without putting a large rain cover over them.

@@evanturunen No real issues; besides when it rains during the day, that makes the lens fogs up, messing up the image for like a half hour when it first turns on till the rain burns off. these fixtures are like a hot stove, and since the only thing in my area that would ruin it is rain or snow, and i turn it on every night, the precipitation gets boiled off before rust can form. I have a couple S4s and this one is my crappy one, the paint is all chipped off (not sure if it’s lead paint or what… don’t think they made them with lead paint though), so i guess i’m not really sure if a brand new or nice looking S4 would come out looking the same after a month outside, I only know a crappy one comes out the same amount of crappy 😂. I did think that the glass would break from the temperature difference cause where i live it’s like 30 degrees, but no issues with the lens, reflector, or lamp after the whole month. My local six flags park uses them outside for their halloween and christmas events and they all seem to have held up just as good as if they were inside.

@@aaronproductionslighting Good to know! I guess I'll be putting the ones I have out with some snowflake Gobos on dimmer packs for next year's light show!

@@evanturunen Update, during my Halloween show I did have a the burner start arcing and it destroyed a brand new lamp, but I think the burner had an issue before I began using it outside, but i’m sure the weather did not help; anyways, replaced the burner (and lamp too, unfortunately) with a good one that didn’t have rotting connections and we were back in business!

With DMX control of course

And amps

Thanks! I collect inflatables so i will not be removing them. i try to place them where they won’t block the lights, but you have to also consider there’s more than one angle a person would see the show from.
