LED Octostrip Set MKII : Unique fixture, excellent for backdrops!

I bought these to use as a backdrop lighting fixture, something a little different from drapes and starcloths.

The light output is great, they're bright but aren't blinding as you are supposed to look at the fixture more than the light it generates. That said, when used as a rear wash from the stage, they really backlight the band well.

The newer version of the strips come with a cable instead of a built in 5 pin connector which is great for the strips closest to the control box but I will need to see how well they hold up.

To summarise, these make a quirky fixture for backdrops - great for bands and club settings - with a good build quality. Just remember that they are not intended to be a wash light or LED bar in the traditional sense!

I like them so much, I plan to order another set!
