CHAUVET DJCOLORstrip LED Linear Wash Light w/Built-In Automated and Sound Active Programs

We ordered 7 and one was a dud. There is no return option on these. Won't buy them ever again because we just got ripped off for $268.00. Even the ones that work are not great.

Bought one of these to try for small venues (we run a multi-op DJ company). It worked for about 2 months and then just stopped. It would not power up - nothing. Called customer service and they said they would email a return authorization number and instructions. A week went by and no email. I emailed them, and they said they had sent it to the wrong email address, but here it is. I read the attached return instructions and learned that: 1 - the 2 year warranty is from the date of manufacture, not the date of purchase. So if you happened to buy one that has been sitting on a shelf for 18 months, your 2 year warranty is for 6 months. 2 - You have to return it in the original box with all the nuts and bolts it came with for warranty service. OK - we have 18 DJs. I have lights and gear all over the place. If I was to save every box stuff came in, I'd need another studio just for that. I called and explained that I no longer had the box. I was told that I could still return it, but I would have to pay shipping both ways and for the cost of the repair. So it sits on the shelf, dead - as is my relationship with Chauvet. Hello ADJ.

Quite a hefty price for a washer, but it is as described! It has around 24 color modes and you can change the speed of each note from 1 to 100. It has DMX in/out to daisy chain other DMX lights. Do note that this is an RGB light and not a color changing LED light. What this means is that there are only red, green, and blue LEDs that create different colors depending on brightness and combinations. Overall, I've had it for 3 months and have left it on for extended periods of time (24hrs+), and have had no problems with it. I would only recommend this type of light as a wall washer (which is what it's designed for).UPDATE (Jan. 8, 2018): I've had this for about 6 months now and a lot of the LED's have gone out, roughly 15 of them. The light still works great but dropped one star because of this at it slightly affects the color output.

Was very pleased with these units when recieved. Unfourtunatly, I had one unit of the two that I got that has an issue with a constant flickering that's an issue in all modes and configurations. Very frustrating as I was depending on these for a gig, but it can't be helped, it happens sometimes I suppose... Also very disappointed that an exchange was not available from the seller... Here's hoping that the price stays the same...Otherwise, very versitale wash, very light weight, seems sturdy enough, love the ability to chain them or run parrallel. Good response to DMX controled sound mode, can make some nice strobish style sound activated presests. The Sound mode on the unit itself was a little iffy IMO. Would be nice if the pre-installed programs were a little more intellegent to alleviate the need for DMX programming to really get these things awesome for a novice lighting user, but with an OBEY 40, and also the dedicated foot controller, I was very happy overall, and will be getting two more for upwashes soon.Sold by: Seetha Singhhttp://www.amazon.com/shops/A3TH1HBFN0UYBE/ref=aag_d_sh

I ordered this to be used as a stage wash light for an upcoming backyard concert / party we are having. I put it on a 12' T bar light stand and aimed it down at about 45 degrees and it works GREAT. A lot of reviews I have seen are complaining about the light being too bright - thats fine and it is really bright, but wouldn't it be worse for it to be too dim. The way I see it is I can always do what some of the YouTube tutorials are doing and put auto window tint on it if it ever bothers me - although so far it hasn't. The light does have a lot of different modes and some settings for each mode - by no means is this a complaint but the different settings are kind of confusing. Again not a big deal - I will probably end up printing out a list of what they are and stick it to the back for reference. All in all I think this is a great light and for the price I will probably be buying another very soon.John
