I was not being venomous. What are you talking about? You guys are mean.
Oh, because I don't like trash talkers?
Just to turn it around on you :
Seeing as how I have never even heard of your forum before today, i am going to have to take your word for it that you are an indepentent "expert" and not a sales representative for some highend lighting manufactururer on the side.
I was just pointing out, rightly I might add that none of you have had
any experience with these guys.
Not even to
call them.
If you did you wold know Bills' name because not only does he own the company he does most of the sales and tech. I guess I should feel bad for remembering the people who I deal with who treat me right. I guess this makes me bad. If this is suspicious to you then you are paranoid.
In the time that I have been buying stuff from NW
Bill has beeen courtious professional and
overly helpful.
I have not bought any of their intelligent lights yet..... only because I have been saving to buy. I do know someopne who bought some of his scanners and they worked really well and had a lot of functions for the money. The bulbs suck, so I will replace them when I recieve them. The
fixture are for rent so they see some abuse and have doen really well so far(2yrs and counting 2 shows a week more on a busy week) and the
par cans hold up well.
This company has been around for at least three years. That is how long I have been in contact with them.
As far as the
LED kits go they have gotten a universally bad reception on ebay.(thats where I found them)
This is not the same as "thier leds have been universaly reviewed as bad"
Thier cans are great, the kits had a
power issue or
dmx board or something.
I don't think they carry them any more.
Just the cans. And some old stuff on ebay.
As far as Chauvet and American dj go they do suck.
My rig is entirly ADJ and Chauvet and I can tell you that thier customer service and quality control both suck. Period. Especially the newer stuff.
Yes NW uses a Chinese manufacturer but so does Chauvet and ADJ.
THE SAME ONE. Guanzhou Longman.
They manufacture almost everybodies lights there and if they don't they manufacture their parts and they are engineered and assemled somewhere else,
like say.... Denmark.
Here is a link to another discussion forum talking about thier stuff
PSW Sound Reinforcement Forums: Lighting => problems with Northwest LED kit
I was not trying to be a jerk, I was jsut tryiong to get all these people, who may be experts in thier field, to give answers that are based on some kind of real world experience. With the subject at
hand, which is North West lighting FX.
I was not trying to imply that these "experts" were not "experts in thier field". No where did I say that. that they did not even know that there is a warrantee on these products.
All that takes is reading thier site. Not hard.
P.s. someone reffered to Robe as quality, FYI Guanzhou Longman manufactures thier equipment too.
I think you should "take a chill pill" and dig what I am saying here.
I was not insulting every one in the room only the ones who are talking out thier @$$'s about this subject.
