Stairville Show Bar TriLED 18x3W RGB 4-stars Reviews

Tough construction + high brightness

Great build quality and good value for money. A great choice for cost effective touring (EDM, bands etc) but I wouldn't necessarily use it for TV or functions due to the 8 bit colour.

Pros:

+Excellent, rugged build quality.

+Very high brightness.

+18 pixels per meter, all addressable.

+Power in and out.

+ Ability to clip on various diffusion lenses.

Cons:

--8 bit colour mixing (so oranges will drop off to red at low intensity, cyan will drop off to green etc).

--Imperfect colour mixing off-axis - so you'll see RGB rather than White if you're up close.

-- 20 something degree beam angle means poor coverage when used for eye candy.

--- Would have liked a greater choice of diffusion filters to address the above issue: 30deg is not much different to 20deg and the 60deg is a 10x60 asymmetric wall washer type lens.

Feedback

Lights are solid built. I use them in small theatre - mostly ambiental light. Buying these bars, you get more than you pay for. For me, there are 2 negative things - low dimmer value and high dimmer value changes colors, and I'm missing power twist in and out.

It works but not like those high end flagship lights, for the hmmm it worth it.

Impressive output for the price

These bars are impressively bright for the price. We have used them at both indoor and outdoor events and they have held their own very well. We have used them for pixel mapping, audience blinders, cycloramas; they are incredibly versatile.

Two issues I would point out: 1) the colour calibration between fixtures is not good, so they maybe aren't suited to more delicate work and 2) one of the screens has become intermittent after only six months.

Other than that, excellent value for money
