Can you tell me what this light fixture is?

[Jaims89]

Can anyone tell me what make/brand this lighting fixture might be? I'm trying to patch to it in magicQ but it's proving to be quite tricky. If i knew make and model that would make things easier but there are no indications on the fixture itself. I think maybe there's something I'm not doing right with the dip switches - if I had the manufacturer instructions that would really help. Thanks

A photo of the dips might help, but often its 3 channel RGB - often the tenth dip switches between DMX mode and programmed mode - off for DMX, on for programmes.

So try setting all but switch 1 off, and then patch say 10 dimmers at address 1. Put all the dimmers at full & if that makes it light up vary the dimmers to work out what channel does what, then find a fixture that matches, or create one anew.

Silly me, about to type "a copy of a JTE (Thomas) spun-aluminum PAR64 can." Then I read on about dipswitches. LED? So that explains why there are no colour holdeur klips on the can.

Yeah, hard to tell without more info.

Mine here you need the last switch on to use DMX, and the rest of the switches set the address. It's profile is something goofy like GRB???I, with an intensity channel at the end too.

That's a pic of the dips. I'll try the method you suggest and see what happens. Thanks all for responding, much appreciated

Yup; exactly what they said: flip the DMX DIP up, and then try it at address 1.

I'll be that person.. have you asked C4 events?

 

[Jaims89]

Got it - the method suggested did the trick. It was strobe, dimmer, rgb. Thanks for the help all. And yeah - tried C4 events but had not luck there
