Stairville Octagon Theater 20x6W CW/WW/A

Good light quality but not noise free

This light´s quality is absoluelty ok and the price is reasonable. However, be careful when using it for theater or other purposes demanding silence. The fan is a little noisy. You will not realize when mounting just one of these, but with four pieces hanging in a height of ca. 3 m the noise will accumulate. That´s also the reason why I only rate 4 stars.

Great, i have 4 units. Used for photographs, presentations. Massive lights. Warm light + a little bit cold white very useful.

Good lighting fixture

A bit heavy but very nice

Nice theater Spot. Bracket not so...

The spot itself is very good. nice color mixing etc.

Have some problems withe the bracket, don't fits so good

and the wrong material for tighten the bolds on the side.

I will do upgrade on this i think. Also the barndoors ar not so tight. closing itself sometimes.

Great value for money! Good lights!

fantastic lights. built solid. I wish it had a way to easily change color temperature on one DMX fader, without having the mix the individual chanels to find your result, maybe I haven't figured it out, but it seems to be an option on other more expensive LED lights. I won't complain thought. Just needs time to have presets set from before the show. (it seems like the firmware is the same as for the color models, and so many of the features seem useless, I suppose they make sense if the LEDs were RGB not CW/WW/A)

it comes with a power-con shuko cable, the barn doors AND a gel holder. the barn doors seem loose on the own, but with the gel holder they fit more securely.

they are a bit heavy.

I didn't have any problems with flickering on video.

There is a slight stepping that is noticable, if you fade very slowly this isn't perceptable. The stepping isn't a problem though, you have to look for it to see it.

I got the Flyht Pro Case for 4x Par 64 short and to my surprise the fit perfectly!

Stairville Octagon Theater 20x6W CW/WW/A

Easy to configure, flicker free. I am using the LED's for key lighting both for theatrical production and live performance, with an option of warm light, white light and amber.

Good theater light

Very good build quality, Power cone is very handy for powering up and linking together. A bit harsh light even then you can mix with different color temperatures.

Bright, intelligent, solid construction

I bought 2 of these as floods for a small stage and for discos. I am really pleased with them

The point lost on quality was because they arrived with the tightening knobs damaged from poor packaging and the barn doors are slightly awkwardly mounted but that is the only criticism. The unit is compact and feels solid. They make a very slight whine but no loud fan noise.

They are really bright and you can get some nice whites and yellows. The beam angle is quite wide so ideal as stage floods. The inbuilt programs are well thought out and sound to light is useful when I use them as an effect light at discos.

Highly recommended for £170.

Very Good unit

This is the later WW/CW/A version of the unit. Despite some of the descriptions the unit has both powercon in and out sockets with DMX on 3 pin XLR.

I cannot hear a fan, so presume there isn't one. There is a minor whine of the electronics, but this should not be an issue unless you are using many of these units.

Light wise, it's possible to mix a good tungsten colour. Output of the CW is not as powerful to the eye as the WW/A colours. I would recommend some diffusion gel to take the glare down and soften a little to the eyes. The unit gives a wide wash of light, so should be good in close proximity.

The metalwork is strong and the bracket tough - not like cheap LED pars.

Minor gripe is that both units I've had I feel the packaging of the unit was slightly inadequate as the brackets for the bard door holders have come bent, and the doors themselves slightly scratched and bent having rubbed against the unit in transit. Perhaps the accessories (included are both barn doors and gel frame) should be in a separate box. No big deal, but annoying for a shiny new unit.
