Chauvet ELAN Review

Chauvet ELAN
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received the Chauvet Elan in excellent condition, shipping was pretty quick. I ordered two of them and they cover a wide area, they are a bit bulky but light weight, overall they perform well, the price was the cheapest I seen them for. I use them in sound active mode, they follow the beat of the music pretty good. Overall I would recommend them.

It is what it is...a basic DMX control....no frills....one wonders why it had to be so large considering its limited functionality.

Chauvet MiN Spot - DMX512 LED Moving Yoke Review

Chauvet MiN Spot - DMX512 LED Moving Yoke
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me start by saying I do NOT own this product. However I was contemplating buying this product, so I went to Guitar Center to see it with my own two eyes. Unfortunately, I was not impressed. The output is just not there yet. It's a cool little moving yoke fixture with a gobo wheel and smooth pan/tilt, but it's just not bright enough. Currently they've got it with a 14W RGB LED, other fixtures today are sporting a 20W RGB.
LED technology is the obvious direction for stage and architectural lighting, but it's still got a ways to go. Especially in the realm of economical technology.

Chauvet Mushroom Review

Chauvet Mushroom
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the chauvet mushroom about 2 weeks ago, it seems to work as advertised, but the issue I have with it is the sound activation seems very random , the beams either jerk left or right a bit, or spin constantly and it seems that unless you barely turn the knob then the sound activation doesn't work at all, (there is really no variable sound level input it's on or off) overall I am unimpressed with chauvet products I also purchased a chauvet B250 bubble machine that was basically a squirt gun that shot bubble juice all over everything and blew about 50 bubbles a min (a 5 year old with a bubble wand could do better and spill less fluid)I used the recommended "chauvet bubble juice" that costs twenty bucks a gallon and tried the regular cheapo juice the cheap stuff actually worked better maybe 70 bubbles a min at five bucks a gallon...... I think that chauvet products are hit or miss (mostly miss from my experience so far).

Product was shipped quickly. This is the first time I've used a SlimPar 64 device. Found it easy to setup and configure for either stand-alone or DMX operation. The unit is light weight, but feels like it will be durable. I'll be purchsing additioanl units in the months ahead.

American DJ 46 HP Silver Par 46 LED RGB Color Mixing Par Can Review

American DJ 46 HP Silver Par 46 LED RGB Color Mixing Par Can
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great light for the price. A lot of different configuration options. Several auto modes and 2-7 channel DMX operation. Very bright too, brighter colors than a standard incandescent PAR46 with gels. Makes a very tight spot. 4 out of 5 because up close the different colors are noticeable in the light beam.

Chauvet LEDsplash Jr Review

Chauvet LEDsplash Jr
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Out of the box, these lights are pretty solid. Construction is sturdy and they come with both a power cord and power extension cord. I was glad to see that the ac adapter was built into the light. On the back of the light, there are plugs for both power in and power out; meaning these lights can be daisy chained on power just as they are with dmx.
After firing them up, I immediatley noticed that the color distribution was not that great; the colors wern't properly mixed and were not homogeneous. This is because there are twice as many red leds as there are blue and green, causing a slightly larger red blur and an uneven distribution - which was bad for me because I was using the lights as wash lights.
If you have as precise an attention to detail as I do, this uneven distribution would be unacceptable. After some trial and error, I found that if you remove the four screws securing the front window and tape a Rosco 118 Diffusion Film to the back side of this window, it significantly improves performance. The 118 film has just the right amount of diffusion power to even out the distrubution while retaining a good beam angle.
The built in programs aren't too impressive; none of them fade the colors - they all flash through colors or strobe. A static color can be set with the dip switches, with three dips for both red and green and two for blue, totaling 147 color combinations.
So now that I have my diffusion film on, the lights look beautiful. Color mixing via DMX is as smooth as anything out there... for a fraction of the cost.
Brightness is decent for an led light; the leds used in this are certainly of good quality. That said, they aren't powerful enough for stage use; (unless you have enough of them!) they are more suited towards indirect lighting, wash lighting, and general interior lighting.

American DJ MB8 Combo 8 Inch Mirror Ball Kit Review

American DJ MB8 Combo 8 Inch Mirror Ball Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was purchased as a gift for home use, so this review is not based on professional use of the product.
It came quickly and well packed. I had not complaints with the company.
Assembly was easy, just add batteries and attach the ball to the stand. It connects using a cotter pin that just slides on. The stand can be placed on a table or hung from the ceiling (it has a wire half-moon that would connect over a hook attached to the ceiling). The light comes with 4 color covers.
Everything worked out of the box without issues. About the only complaint I have is when changing the color discs, you unscreww the outer plate of the light. I found it takes a few tries to get it screwed back on. You have to line it up just right. Otherwise, excellent product.

American DJ Reflex LED Dual Panning Mirrored LED Moonflower Review

American DJ Reflex LED Dual Panning Mirrored LED Moonflower
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
this light is awsome. just a little backgroung on me, im not a DJ just a guy who enjoys music and DJ lighting effects. this light runs very cool due to the LED bulbs and is very energy efficent compaired to other fixtures. the light is very sencitive to music, it does not have to be loud for this light to perform well, for the best effect a fog machine is recomended. the only complaint i have is the motors that turn the mirrors are just a little noisy, but medium volume music hides the noise. in all for the $2.19 I paid for this unit i woulds have been content with a broken unit, but it came new in box and fully functional. and BTW i do mean $2.19, i got this thing for a downright steal. also if you starting a DJ service or just starting a lighting collection dont start here. get some "filler lights" that illuminate the dance floor first, such as can lights or a disco ball. once you have a safe amount of illumination then look at this as an accessory to your already developed light show, due to the directional nature of the light beams this unit will not light a large area however the beams are bright enough to travel a good distance which makes this light ideal for both small and large spaces. BTW id like to thank the seller for hooking me up, at the price they sold it there is no way they turned a proffit unless they got it for free from their vendor.

This unit puts out a lot of light. It is definitely a pinpoint spot. It does not wash nearly as much as my regular spot bulbs. However, the light has a definite blue tint to it. I'm not sure how that may affect the color on the video of my performances, but will keep an eye on it.

Gives off at nice lightshow. Like all DJ lighting you'll get a better result with the spread of light with space and/or height. If you have a 20x20 room with a 10ft ceiling, you'll be very sad with the performance. Lightweight and came in good packaging. No problems to speak of after using for a few months.

American DJ Vertigo Multi Colored Sound Active Effect light Review

American DJ Vertigo Multi Colored Sound Active Effect light
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product has 2 300 watt bulbs in it and gets extremely hot (it has a less than adequate cooling fan). The instructions say to turn it off every 5 or at least every 15 minutes for a cool down period. I believe it would melt the electronics if you let it run too long. For my (home) use purposes, this was ridiculous. What you can do is remove one of the 300 watt bulbs or replace the 300 watts with 200 watt bulbs for about $5 each.
I found just one 200 Watt bulb was still plenty of light, and cool enough for continuous operation.
Otherwise very nice light and appears well made (metal not plastic, etc).
