Grace Lighting is a great company and Jessica is a good help! I recently bought 8 par cans and they do the job very well! Grase was even able to do some costumization for me.

Price?

[@jessicazhang9801]

Dear Michiel,thanks so much for your support

[@WickedWaiata]

Thanks for the review DJ Books ... appreciate you sharing your view on this product and the information and video was on point. Seems like quite a few people are in the same boat as me and looking for a cheaper alternative to the ADJ and Chauvet uplights so I've shared your video on the FB page.

[@SimpleDJLife]

Thanks fam. Appreciate it. You can save a few bucks if you find a reputable company and build a working relationship with one of their salespeople or representative. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for this review.. I got 20 lights and 2 cases for about $2,600. Doris was my rep. I've had the lights for about 6 months now and I am starting to have issues. 1. When using wifi, a few of the lights will flicker or go off and on. I was told this was due to signal interference. No solution offered. 2. I am also seeing that many of my lights will turn off before the battery level reaches 0. I know this because when I plug them back up the battery level displays between 33% and 41%. I sent videos of these issues back to the supplier. Hopefully, they will provide workable solutions. Right now, I am not feeling good about my purchase.

[@jayesmoker1140]

Had similar issues, Turns out my lights did not have low battery/voltage cut off and due to being drained (far more than they should be) I now have many faulty batteries.

[@scottmuir9347]

I’ve been using China up lighting for years. I’m starting to switch out my older lights for new ones. This last November, I purchased 10 Riukoe up lights that look exactly the same as the ones you are using. Got them off Amazon for about $169 each, no case. But each light came with a remote & charging cable. These lights are awesome! Great colors and battery life. Having the same problem your having with running them through the WyFi and having them talk to a phone app. Currently trying to get them to work with my ADJ Airstream, but just can’t get them to talk with each other.

[@snoopyredbaron6969]

Awesome review and much needed information, in fact I just ordered 10 lights without the carrying case even though it was basically the same price, but the case bulkiness turned me off, once again thx for the much needed review and many blessings to you and your loved ones, stay safe during this tough times.

[@maddpharmer2045]

Great review. Very detailed 👌

[@SimpleDJLife]

Thank You and thanks for watching.

[@jdobbie664]

I love how you reading of a card or screen 😂

[@djbilly5860]

D.j. Books - thanks, Great Video. I'm emailing Dorris Wong trying to strike a deal to order these lights. Do you remember how long the shipping was. They use DSL, I have jobs in March that I wanna use them. Keep up the videos, and would love to see other products you use for General Lights.

[@SimpleDJLife]

Thanks for watching. The shipping took about two weeks by DHL after the order. We have more videos coming soon.

[@leewright4941]

Great review. How are they holding up now that it's been almost 3 years?

[@SimpleDJLife]

Still going strong. But the kickstands that sit them up on an angle have taken a beating. Sorry for the late response and thanks for watching.

[@leewright4941]

@@SimpleDJLife Great. I bought 8 of them which look identical from Both Lighting maybe 6 weeks ago. They seem to work really well. I've only had a couple of bookings so far despite advertising them a lot but we're still struggling with COVID here so might pick up once we start getting more weddings.

[@BigBlockEntertainment]

Thanks for the awesome review...quick question...if you have them all in Master/slave mode...can you put the master light in Sound Active and then the rest of the lights follow it? In other words they all change colors at the same time to the same colors?

[@SimpleDJLife]

Yes, they work in master slave mode and will be in sync so you can have a cohesive light show. Thanks for watching fam.

[@ozprod371]

You have me sold man! How are they holding up so far?

[@SimpleDJLife]

Sorry for the late response. I used these this week at a New Years Eve party. I turned them on at 730ish PM. We partied late and left the equipment at the venue all night and didnt get back until 12pm the next day. I forgot to turn them off... THEY WERE STILL ON!! So, they lasted for 16 hours on one color. Amazing. I'm putting up a video about it. Thanks for watching.

[@MrInternationalSound]

You're a life saver thx. How long was shipping?

[@brandyketchquist839]

I noticed that there is a S6 and S4, 6 vs 4 LEDs but the 6 is more common online. In some cases I really cant find the 4. I was wondering if you or anyone knew the difference between the 2 and why you went with the one you did.

[@DjGCue71]

you forgot to mention the price and the Tarif fees for them to send them to you from China.

[@WickedWaiata]

Has anyone worked out he price on these?

[@DanielGonzalez-cd6lu]

How's the light so far? Any flicking issue? And how much was the pricing?

[@SimpleDJLife]

I love the lights. I used them again last Friday with no issues. No flickering at all. And the pricing was around $1300 with accessories and shipping. I have a link to the website in the description and my contact was Doris. Let them know that you found out from the video. Btw, it's only a referral and I don't get any incentive from me referring you. Thanks for watching Daniel.

[@DjGCue71]

$1300.00 for 8 lights and a case is Expensive. I been looking at these types of lights and you can get them shipped from the USA to you for that same price but for a 10 pack

[@joelowee1971]

How is the user manual? I have some "Smartdj S6" from "Both Lighting". The User Manual only lists Specs. They Work fine with the remote, but I can not get it working with my ADJ Airstream DMX. When the Airstream is connected to different figures, and the S6 is turned on, it disconnects the Airstream. Any ideas guys? I have tried adding the S6 using the ADJ Airstream using a Dmx cable since the dinner Dmx can't fit in the dmx port of the S6 due to its design. The Airstream is just not working with it. Will appreciate any help.

[@carsonmiller44]

The new ones have power con

[@gracestagelight]

hi,friend,we also have power con at that time

[@DjGCue71]

I like these type but I don't like that the TFT DISPLAY of the fixture faces the room/people

[@gracestagelight]

hello george you can turn another side of it so it will not faces to the room/people,what is more the TFT display can be black out when not use

[@markdavid_21]

Those lights are the same exact lights offered by BothLighting. Probably the same owners to be honest.

[@mint1770]

Question bro if you playing outside no internet how to have a portable net

[@gracestagelight]

We use WIFI, need not the internet.

[@doctormasterdevil]

Lets cut to the chase bro, cant do a review without listing the PRICE. whats the price on this no bs

[@SimpleDJLife]

I believe I paid about 1200 for 8 lights and charging case including the shipping. Thanks for watching.

[@doctormasterdevil]

@@SimpleDJLife thanks playa!

[@djbilly5860]

I just ordered 6 of them. Do you dmx them with a program. I use mydmx 3.0. What light can I use to take full control of them. They dont have grace stage lighting lights.?

[@SimpleDJLife]

I use them with ADJ Airstream DMX. As far as lights, I use these as accent uplights to the room(s). Grace stage lighting have moving heads and all sorts of lights to purchase. I'm going to purchase some pixel lights in the near future for DMX applications. Thanks for watching.

[@LucasTseng]

Hi Billy , watch channel , with all kinds of lighting from China. To us myDmx 3.0 , you need to put a file in the software , coz ADJ product will not sense any lights from China

[@billbrown266]

Dj Books. I received my 6 and they work great. I'm going to use them at a sweet 16 tomorrow. I do have a quick question. When you patch them with your ADJ program, what light do you patch them as. On MY DMX 3.0 they dont have these lights so I can't get the correct programming for them.
