Perfect for small band/duo/solo

Bought my first set of these lamps over 10 years ago and they have worked flawlessly since. Recently purchased some flat LEDs which don't have the same "feel" as these lamps (more harsh in my opinion). Running with LC2412 controller via midi.

Astounding value & reliability

I bought four of these units seven years ago to provide a wash from the rear of the stage at my venue. I can say with complete honesty they have been one of the best buys I have ever made for the venue lighting. Unbelievably good value and reliability, the cost alone is astoundingly low for what you are getting. Whilst other more expensive units have had failures of one kind or another these units have carried on with all of the LEDs working, they just keep doing what they are meant to. They come it a decent sturdy metal chassis too so easily take the odd knock when rigging and de-rigging.

If I have one criticism of the design it is that you can "loop through" the DMX control but you cannot "loop through" the power. If the design was changed by having and in and out for power that would be very helpful. At present that means that each it is powered and cabled individually. Even if this put an extra 15% to 20% on the purchase cost the value would still be there and the difference in their ease of use would be increased 10 times over.

Overall I highly recommend these units, they are a no nonsense robust design with longevity, value and effectiveness. You cannot really ask for more at this price point.

Extremely good

Bought two of these 2 years ago and was so impressed I bought three more last year. I use these for mobile discos and plan to use them in small productions. The dip switch is at times a little difficult to change but a pen can help with that. The gel frames are very good. The instructions couldn't be clearer. For their price they are brilliant.

Often gigged with just 2 of these - nothing else.

Very easy to use, well built. I often gigged with these on the slow colour fade setting. They looked great - my only one criticism was that sometimes the colour change wouldn't fade into the next but flash into it instead which is a shame, it just looks better if the sequence is more consistent all the way through. Overall excellent value, good reliable product; things have definitely moved on from the old fashioned Par 56 cans!! No more boiling hot equipment to worry about :)

The best LED PAR of his time

The oldest LED PAR 56 I have has 8 years and it was used minimum once/week. I'm sill using them because they are fully functional. I like the warm colors compared with the new led generation. Hard to break, solid build, long lasting units!

I Bought 8 of these for a stage at work, I will probably buy some more later on.. Works really good if the room is dark, Ok if there's light from the windows.

The lights are installed 2,5m up in the roof, 4 in the front & 4 in the back.

And thar covers most of the stage that is approx 4x3m

I like that each light has 3 colours, saves space and money!

And if you don't have a Lightmixer, these have alot of time depending options which can be pretty useable option for disco or if you don't have a lightning guy to control the lights

The package was easy to assemble and your up & running in no time.

I put 4 stars in quality, but I guess time will tell! =)

Great units for RGB colour washing on stage and uplighting

I have had the opportunity to use these LED Par Cans in small and medium sized venues. They are great for both stage washing as well as uplighting. The only downside to this unit is that there is no dimmer channel on DMX. Not having a dimmer channel means that programming and using dimmer chases can be difficult, having to manually recreate effects. Other than that these lights have a great light output which can be used in a variety of environments. The light come with a gel frame holder - which I don't use to held gels as they are RGB fixtures - it is good to put them on the units to stop damage to the otherwise open LEDs during transport.

Best buy!!!

We mostly use them as wash lighting for our live band. I have to say that they are very effective. They have a really good range.

LED is the way to go. The days of lugging around those hot cans are gone. They run cool so they can be used for close up light.

These Led Pars are the perfect size and very bright. They are very durable.

They work great with the American Dj MyDmx 2.0 through DMX and also work great with stand-alone mode. The sound active mode is not so good, it is to sensitive for loud stages.

Great buy for this price!

Good quality LED light

This light is really good value. Its not fantastically bright but quite bright enough mixed in with other lights for either band or disco lighting. Well constructed and seems as if it will last quite well. Has built in sensor to do basic patterns in time with music etc. Or can be controlled via DMX. Because its LED it uses very little current. Overall a useful and well-made item.

LED par 56

These are fantastic, they are brilliant for colour washing without bleeding other fixtures. When used on a quality control desk, they can create excellent lighting effects. Great value.

Great light for the price

These lights have so many uses and are great value for money. Good light from them and they are very durable. Have them on a light bar and also used tied to roofs of venues. God range of settings for the price.

Led par 56 cans

The Led Par 56 Black 151 cans are a very good lighting system. They are light weight and and they are very easy to handle and transport. I am happy with my purchase.

I could use these again.

We bought several of these, the power cables are very short.

light output is ok, not the brightest but they did the job as side lights on stage. They're fragile enough and many LED's died before a year was out, but we did travel a lot with them. If you have a proper case or are installing these then they will be fine!

Love these lights!

I think these lights are great. OK they are flat LED's and they are bulky but they are sturdy and they are very bright lights. I have them on floor stands and they work perfectly like that. Not tried the DMX functions as I don't have a controller but I reckon that would make these lights almost perfect.
