The IP Rating is only effective when used with IP65 Compatible receivers such as:
Convert standard PowerCon cables into IP65 cables by replacing the GREY PowerCon output end with this Yellow and Grey IP65 PowerCon end.
Great light and output bang for your buck. Solid construction and intuitive large lcd menu in rear. Used them live this week and they performed well. The only issue was when I was running them (through DMX), and I pressed buttons on the remote, I had a hard time getting them back responding the DMX software control.
I keep these in my trussing. I DMX my main light show, but keep the truss warmers on a static color, so the IR remote really comes in handy! With the IR remote, it saves me from having the run DMX to each truss warmer. Cut a good amount of time off of my set up time. When I do small events without my main light show, I use these as wash lights and they are very bright for their size. Of course, not as bright as the UberPar or StarkBars that I have....but it's very cool that they all master/salve together, when I'm not doing DMX.
HMNGO ECXKE: Hi Mitch, <br /> <br /> This is actually a feature on the light to allow you to switch lights to IR mode without having to unplug them from DMX. To switch to IR mode, press any button on the remote. To switch back to DMX mode, press the "DMX" button on the remote in the top row, middle column.
