Waterproof RGBW Par Lights

Full Disclosure - I am an audio engineer. I do not know how to program or run lights. Unlike many of my compatriots, I know one thing. I have never heard anyone say they went to HEAR a band. They always say they went to SEE a band. If bands are going to be seen they must be lit. Lights are important to the concert experience. All that said, LED's have made life easier and harder for a guy like me. The one thing I want is to have to use less lighting. I bought 6 of these for a concert series I do the production for in the region. I had one goal, get cans that are BRIGHT AS F*** and easy to use. The remote was great. I took a chance on these and dang if they aren't perfect. My only minor issue is the hardwired Edison. Even that wasn't a problem with a little creative thought and a power strip taped to the stand! I used 4 of these for front fills to catch white on the front line 24' foot stage and everyone looked great! They were so bright I had to bring them down a bit to take some harshness out. Great lights, excellent value. Let's hope they stand up to regular use and some road abuse. I put them in soft cases and then in a road case so they should stay working but I will check back in September with a dependability update. I am mightily impressed. The picture is from sound check before I pulled down the intensity.

I thought these are some solid lights. The only issue I had was that I need to get a special conversion cable to plug them into regular dmx cable

Compared to three other kinds of lights I’ve bought so far these are the only ones that are actually useful and look good. Very easy to adjust color/brightness on a DMX controller and save scenes. Mine did not come with a remote but thats fine with me since I’m using DMX. I’m not sure if it has any kind if strobe feature or if you’d have to do that with DMX transition settings. At low power they provide nice ambient lighting. On full power you will see a hexagonal pattern on your retinas for a few seconds looking directly at it. I have three right now to test out but will get three or six more and put them on the existing channel assignment to have duplicated or triplicated sets of three colors each, ie 2-3 lights on a single channel. I’ve learned with Amazon DJ lights anything under $100 is probably trash. I guess these are close enough to $100 to be solid.

This waterproof light is incredible, it is aluminum housing, the quality is obviously much better than my previous par light, and it's cheaper compared to the other one. I used it for an outdoor art project. The waterproof design makes sure it works just fine in rain and snow. It has many modes and colors to choose from. Also, it is very bright, and the DMX feature makes it a professional stage light. I will be buying some more in the future.

I HAVE NEVER LEFT A REVIEW LIKE THIS ON ANY AMAZON PRODUCT. BUYER BEWARE. THESE FIXTURES ARE NOT WATERPROOF. I have purchased 20 of these fixtures over a period of 90 days for a large facade project on the outside of my business. Within just ten days of their installation I had lights dying and intermittent dmx communication issues. I was quite surprised to find EVERY single fixture filled with water. Please see attached photos. They say it all. As of now amazon is saying 10 of the 20 lights are non returnable / replaceable. That is unfathomable. LIGHTS ARE NOT WATERPROOF AS DESCRIBED. UPDATE AUG 31 2024 - Amazon eventually provided me ONE return label for ALL 20 fixtures. (after I left this review.) So I returned all items in one box on Aug 5th and STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REFUND.

The lights they came were very high quality from its casing and brightness of lights. Very pleased with this purchase

Tenemos una compania de entretenimiento en Puerto Rico, las hemos usado para escenarios bajo techo al aire libre y no han fallado.

To my eye this is just as bright, and has just as many colors, as the more expensive lights. The major drawback is that 110v. power is only in, no out, so you can't chain them on the light tree. I also found it odd that the smaller mounting bracket isn't wide enough for the light--it bows out when attached. If you don't need 2 brackets (I don't) that's a minor problem.

Excelente acabado y buena potencia

Works perfectly

La compré para utilizar bajo el agua hasta que me di cuenta que había comentarios donde mostraban que NO funcionan. A veces AMAZON debería revisar la calidad de las cosas que aquí se venden.

After one event, here are my thoughts. Love the IP67 rating - can sling these up anywhere without worrying about the weather. They're plenty bright and color saturation is nice and deep. There are some interesting and useful FX in 8 channel mode. Build seems sturdy and ready for commercial use, but only time will tell. I'll reserve judgement on that one until they've been through a 40° Kootenay summer with no convection cooling. Couple weird design decisions however. The waterproof adapters all connect to each other, so out of the box you can connect these in a chain about 2' apart and they'll pass DMX and power in a chain, so that's OK. But the waterproof DMX connectors are not compatible with a regular DMX cable. The kits come only with a waterproof > DMX *input* adapter and a waterproof > NEMA 5-15P adapter. This is fine for power as long as you're OK with 2' spacing, otherwise you'll need a waterproof power extension, or plug in each fixture individually which defeats the handy daisy chain power feature. And compromises the waterproofness of the overall system somewhat. And leaves the output power whips dangling. But, quizzically, there is no DMX waterproof > DMX *output adapter in the kits, so these would have to be the last thing in a chain. Or buy a waterproof > DMX output adapter. There seem to be waterproof power and DMX extensions available so these fixtures can live further apart in a chain, but those kits are 50 bucks each. And another 20 bucks for a waterproof / DMX output. So those costs have to be added before these fixtures are ready for real world use. I have to assume the designer consciously decided these would be the only fixtures anyone would ever need and they'd be fine with 2' spacing.
