Bright.
The Stairville Show bar triLED light is well made from metal and comes with three mounting brackets. Two brackets are on the sides for floor mounting or attaching to walls, ceiling or trussing. This are detachable via threads.
The third bracket is on the back of the unit, more like a handle. Nice little feature is that it can slide up and down the light for better positioning.
DMX in and out is at one end of the unit, power in and link at the other. I would have like the power connectors to be Powercons but at this price you can't argue.
The settings screen is LED read out not switches, however 1 of 4 screens has already failed straight out of the box.
LED's are bright and can be controlled individually. Free UK power cables included!
Good units. Will most likely be buying another 4 in the future.

Very Impressed!
I bought 4 of these and they are great! having 18 separate programmable LED's (when on the correct mode) makes for some great effects and can really get creative with it. Pixel mapping makes it even simpler. Very punchy. Although a lot of pixel bars now have this, it is also handy to be able to chain their power so can power more than one from one socket. The dimmer curve could be a tad sharper. I did find when the fixture gets down to below 4% intensity it steps down rather than fades before it goes out.
One did break on me after a few times of using it. It was, however, sent back to Thomann and they dealt with the issue very well and offered to fix it as was still under warranty.
All in all, a great addition to my setup!

Bright would be an understatement.
I bought 10 of these to replace some 15 year old ADJ panels that are now failing the insulation resistance element of their PAT test. So this TriLED Show Bar seemed like a good choice given how consistently well Thomann's Stairville lights have served me in the past.
Bright would be an understatement. I used them in a 600 capacity venue this weekend as part of a rock show, and they were so bright I had to actually disable them and use them very sparingly! That's even with 40 LED wash lights trained on the band, and two large 350W LED follow spots following the lead singer and guitarist. I'm going to have to rethink how I use them.
I set them to 27 channel mode so they can work with my existing lighting programmes and use only 135 DMX channels over five fixtures. I also tested some of the built in programmes to satisfy my curiosity. They're quite basic but usable, and the video on the main page is a very good representation of what this unit is capable of.
I think the best part is they're fairly light weight, and I managed to fit five of them into two existing 120cm long cases, that are about 30x30 in height and depth. In terms of foot print they don't take up much room, weigh very little, and when they're not operating are almost invisible in a dark venue. Highly recommended, especially in DMX mode if you have a desk capable of pixel mapping.

Parfect. Natural colors even with only RGB. I have 10 units - 3 years, no problem.

Great quality LED bar
Bought 10 of these to install in a large venue.
Fantastic quality with the main chassis being metal and a massive light output they look great when all on together.
Nice to be able to slide the back mounting point up and down, really helps with installing the fixture.
Nice to have the options of basic to full pixel mapping control.

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.

Must buy
we use it to replace our sunstrip active from showtec and they give mor output at longer distances
color mixing is good when everything is full on you still can see that it is a rgb fixture and not a rgbw, but it doesnt bother me because the white is really good for just a rgb fixture
building quality is aluminium, so light but strong
have yet to see if the lifetime of the leds is good
Great product for this price

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

Big, bright and bulky
Used this to light up the background in my home studio. This was more than enough.
Only complaint is that it's pretty heavy and uses the rigging slots commonly used in club or venue light fixtures, not photo studios. So I needed to place it on the floor and couldn't use conventional studio stands to get this thing up.
The unit fell on the floor several times and took no damage, because it's all metal.
A solid unit overall, a great value for money.

Fantastic LED Bar
Very bright, the 54 channel mode works fantastically. It looks like a £1000 light for a fraction of the price, the clamps are a bit naff but the product is great, hence the 5* review.
