I can confirm that they are Technobeams in a protective cover for weatherproofing. Disney has this initiative that any new lighting should always include as much LED fixtures as possible. When we upgraded the lighting for Fantasmic along the Rivers of America, we replaced a lot of fixtures with...

I assume that after you select the chase to be programmed you select the scene you want (using Bank Up and Bank Down to switch between banks) and then press the Midi/Add button to add a step to the chase. Repeat for the next bank/scene etc.You have probably read the manual already but it is...

SweetLight make it for Chauvet. Chauvet is basically selling the same thing but branded to them.

It just stops sending data, the program still works as though nothing has happened. No errors or warnings.

They make both the software and the dongle, yes. I have contacted them but no reply, so I am seeing if anyone on here can shed some light.

Hi, I am having a problem with my DMX Cable with my XP 64-bit computer. The cable works fine most of the time but then my fixture randomly loses DMX signal, usually after or just before running a cue. A simple restart of the SweelLight software fixes this but I can't be spending my time...

Good choice. We have a GrandMA Full-size down here. I find that when you first start using it, it takes time to get used to it but when you've used it for a couple of days, it's great!

Wow! Your school will actually pay about £50,000 ($70,000) for a lighting console? Anyway, I personally would stay with DMX and not go down the Ethernet route yet, but I would get a console that supports Ethernet to be 'future-proof'

Re: Odd behavior- DMX & Old dimmersI sense a control problem. I doubt it has anything to do with your dimmers if your demux has worked with them before. Have you tried checking the wiring on the demux? Something on the signal common? But then it could be a voltage drop because of the sudden...

You beat me to it. That is what I always use, it can also be used for 16A extensions. DON'T go with H05 cables as well, they don't self-extinguish and some authorities don't like people using it.

Thanks for the advice. I will go for a moving head from Martin then.

Thanks for the reply, the company who is selling it is well known by many technicians around here and they are trusted. Apparently, they say it is a very good fixture, but I will probably take your advice instead.Thanks, Josh.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with an EVL Prospot 250? Would you recommend it or should I go for another fixture? Thanks in advance, Josh.

This might not be the best solution, but it would be much easier to just use a RFU if the venue has one? Most memory consoles have these.

I would suggest the same thing.
