    2 LEDs in moving head wash fixture stuck on

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the diagnosis, and it is in line with what I was told from the manufacturer I bought it from. Sounds like the repair is above my pay grade. I am going to take it in. This is a Chinese knock off of the Clay Paky Aleda B-Eye K10. I've bought a few of these and have had...

    2 LEDs in moving head wash fixture stuck on

    Any ideas on how I might repair this. I have a moving head wash light, and 2 of the RGBW LEDs are stuck on at apparently 100% brightness. They do not respond to DMX commands, and do not respond to a menu reset. They come on as soon as you power the fixture up, and refuse to turn off until you...

    Manufacturing a moving light

    I've wondered at the seemingly ridiculous prices of these lights. Until I saw one taken apart. They are actually marvels of design and engineering. I don't think you are going to beat what is out there. Take a Rogue R2 Spot, which is a fabulous lower level cheap light in the scheme of things...

    DMX Console that Works in Banks?

    I just read through this briefly and have to hit the hay, but check out the Blizzard ProKontrol MH. It sounds like it may do what you want. Once you patch a fixture in, it's control always starts at fader 1 and you don't have to worry about the physical DMX addresses. It has 2 banks of 16...

    True probably mid 4000's. Which still seems high to me based on the Rogue R2 Spot at $1,600. You are basically adding 190 W of power and CMY/CTO mixing. Plus a few other refinements. Yet the price is almost triple. On the other hand, it seems to compete well on specs and price with other...

    Automated Fixtures Chauvet Maverick cost

    Good point. Wishful thinking probably did the conversion. Can you imagine the situation 10 years from now? Pixel mapped arrays of gridded 150 mini head movers... or something like that, or worse. Like a fixture consisting of 10 LED RGBAWUVLimeCyan moving heads that extend off a cable attached to...

    Automated Fixtures Chauvet Maverick cost

    I heard about $2,700 for the Maverick wash and $5,000 for the Maverick Spot. Which is way more than the "mid $3,000s" that the Chauvet rep stated in one of the videos from a recent lighting show where it was being exhibited. I was going to pick up a couple of Rogue spots, which I can get for...
