Stairville LED PAR 56 black 151 LEDs RGB 5-stars Reviews

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.

Great light

I have mine a long time now and it still works perfectly.

great price

great price great effect and colour...

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!

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.

Excellent light great output a neat and tidy fixture

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.

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.

Affordable option for smaller venues

After playing several larger venues with dedicated lighting guys we always found it a bit of a come down when playing in smaller pub style venues where the only option is for the lights around the stage to be on or off.

We purchased three of these with the intention of using them as on stage 'mood lighting' for smaller stages/venues and they were perfect for this task.

There are a number of recessed dip switches on the rear of the lamp which can be used to configure certain parameters - we tended to just use one colour/intensity for all of our shows.

The lights can be set to be sound activated - we never used this feature but I can imagine this being useful for more upbeat material and discos etc

The only issue we came across with these lamps is the length of the mains lead. If they are being mounted on a stand with sockets on the stand then this is not an issue but if you are intending to use them on stage, as we were, ensure that you have the ability to run extensions next to the location of the lamps.

Having recieved this together with everything else within 4 days just cant wait to order the other 3 had thought about going else where but glad i decided not too as everything i need is right here on this site

great set of lights for pub gigs

i bought 4 of these for our new lighting stand and they are great, give a great light to the stage, color range is great. We now need more light at the front of the band for photography, so i recently bought two more of the same lights, but floor standing to add to the kit!

Best buy ever

Light,easy to work with,easy on power and if handled with care will last me for ages.

Must get a DMX controller now to complete the set and some XLR leads.

Cool stuff for ambient light and good value for money

I use these LED PARs just for illuminating the back of a little stage or the rehearsal room. Therefore the light output is enough, but I don't think you can use it really well as front spots above a stage.

But I like that it's so easy to change the color and create a decent atmosphere. When used without a DMX controller you have to tweak the mini switches. Not very convenient but you can manage it. With a DMX controller you can instantly change the colors of different PARs. Very cool.

And don't underestimate how a nicely illuminated ambience influences the musicians! Or the audience.

The build quality is okay. Definitely no pro equipment but a lot value for the money.

BEST VALUE LED PAR ON THE MARKET?

Bought a pair of these for our band, then immediately ordered two more. Good light output and features particularly for the price. Easy to operate and set-up. We generally just leave them on sound to light operation. Great for band and disco applications and perfect for permanent stage & club installlations.
