Great value, fast setup, easy to run.
Sonovox 20.07.2013
If anyone is considering just one light for a small band setup, then I'd stick my neck out and say this should be the one. I own a number of different types of lights - scanners, UV, washes, parcans, various club lights - but this one has been one of the most versatile lighting purchases I've made.

The bundle consists of the lights themselves, in a well-built sturdy zip locked case, footswitch with captive jack cable, and lighting pole.

LIGHTING POLE
I'll deal with the first and only problem I've had with the TRI LED at the start: Pretty much throw away the cheap and nasty pole supplied with the bundle. I don't know how many times the nuts and bolts holding the stanchions that hold the legs up have been lost and replaced, the final straw being when one of the stanchions cracked at one of the bolt holes. At the start of this year I replaced the stand with a spare speaker pole, and never looked back. This was the main thing that held me back from giving a full 5 star rating.

LIGHTS
As to the light itself, I operate it in larger setups under DMX and in smaller setups using just the supplied footswitch. Under DMX control, the LCD menu display makes it easier to set up than trying to remember a number of dipswitches like you get on many other fixtures. There are a number of DMX modes which should suit pretty much any setup, including a variety of preprogrammed chases.

I usually set up the fixture somewhere near one of the PA stacks, but have used it from as far away as about 6 metres from the front of the stage with OK results - it can illuminate at dark stage reasonably well at this distance, but you do lose definition.

FOOTSWITCHES
The footswitch controller is absolute simplicity itself, with switches for Autorun, Freeze, Sound-to-light and Blackout. These commands are helpfully echoed through the DMX output, so I often DMX daisy-chain a couple of footlamps or stage washes and control the whole lot via the footswitches. Very effective for a small but pro looking setup. The captive cable on the footswitch is only about 5 metres long, and I have found a few situations where I needed a longer run than this. There is no spec in the manual to say whether or how long the cable can be extended, but with a female to male jack cable, I was able to get it to stretch reliably to almost 20 metres, which is as long as anyone should ever need it. I made up a 10 metre extension cable which lives in the front pocket of the light case, giving me a total of about 15 metres.

The different footswitches should be mostly self-explanatory, but just to explain that the Autorun switch causes the light to run sequentially through it's internal pre-programmed chase modes - always starting from the first (slow) one when you press the switch. If you leave it in this mode, you will see the lamps chasing faster and faster until you get to the strobe modes at the end of the programmes, where it loops around to the first mode again. There is no way to skip to a preferred mode that I have found. Some could call this an ommission, but in operation, it is still quite versatile, and if you need more control than that, then you should probably be using a DMX controller.

One point I would like to make - if the pocket on the lighting case was just a few centimetres longer, you would also be able to fit the footswitch in, making it an even more perfect bundle!

Bought 2 sets of these several years ago for our band. Cant comment on the footswitch controller as we use PC software programme to control our lights. But the lights themselves have been wonderful. Gigged upto 3 times a week with these, and although I've heard of others that have had issues, we have never had any issue with them - well, not until 2 days ago - but that seems to have righted itself, so could have been a ghost in the works that one night. The cases haven't lasted as long as the lights, mainly the zips breaking and the metal hinges wripping through the back f the case fabric that holdsthe case together - but after several years use in and out of a band van, can we really expect anything different to that ?
We;ve actually just ordered another bundle - wouldn't have done that after all this time if they hadn't have been up to the job and we hadn't been happy with them.

Excellent option for basic drama studio lighting
RIchard G 15.10.2021
We use 4 of these units in our drama studios and they work really well both with the ir remote and when connected to a dmx lighting control desk. The light output is good and the colour range gives a lot of flexibility. They also work as decor lighting for our main hall.

Good for the money
ImTheSoundGuy 24.10.2019
We bought a set of TRI Led to rig them on our band's lighting truss system. I heard a lot of people complaining about the quality of the footswitch but we used pc dmx software/interface and we had no problem. Typical led light, good dmx response, 20 shows until now and still counting.

Really powerful
John4958 14.03.2015
Firstly, for any one that has ever lifted, moved or performed under old school PAR - or filament bulbs - these things are a much welcome breath of fresh air.

Virtually no weight by comparison - to the point the whole bar can be moved easily.

I took off a couple of points for the bundle - the stand is pretty decent and does what you need. The screws that come with it have the worlds poorest quality plastice attached to them - to the point where both broke off before I even got them out of the bag.

The lights work really well and have decent pre programmed settings. these can of course be adjusted manually and there is hours of fun to do that.

the footswitch is decent although the pedals themselves are plastic and make a loud click which is a little annoying - but will be inaudible on stage.

A little annoyed that you can buy two of these (minus the footswich for the second) however, for the price - it won't hurt to have a spare.

The power cable that comes with this is euro - which is annoying as it's a decent length - however, a pair of snips and a uk plug sorted that.

Fantastic lights
Stuart D. 02.11.2014
Very effective lights - these on their own are really very good.

The bag had a problem with the zip which made it less useful (the front pocket went and is now useless) and we have had to fix the cable strain relief into the footswitch twice - it is NOT a "stomp" switch, as the cable can't take it.

But the lights are fantastic - powerful, good with the sound to light, the programs are interesting, the footswitch makes it look like we have control with the minimum of effort!!! Once we played around with the sensitivity to get it to where we wanted, we haven't touched it since and it just works every time out the box. Exactly what we needed!

Great value
zh199 19.03.2019
I am using this product for small and medium events.
It's very bright and have clear colors, easy to transport and bag have exelent transport protection. The only drawback is a lightstand that is of lower quality at the first shipment I even received a broken plastic screw holder, but a professional team from thomann made sure that I received a new one for free as soon as possible. In short, I can not see a better set for this money, which contains lights, control, stand and protective bags for the whole set. By the way, after reading the older comments, I notice that some were not satisfied with the quality of the bag and the size of the front pocket. I am pleased to announce that now the quality of the bags and their zippers is excellent and footswitch also fits perfectly in the front pocket. Great for smaller bands and DJs. After six months of using it, I am ordering another set of this wonderful product.

U
lots of light!
UliN 18.02.2014
I´ve bought this for my little four man band. We play weddings and other little partys. The light is very smooth and powerful. The construction, electronics and programs are the same as in the Showtec lights, but the headlights are slightly larger, thus the part is heavier, the thomann supplied case is identical, is it just another name.
The Stairville part is around 75, - € cheaper than my Showtec, you will soon notice why: I had quite a few nuts and bolts, especially at the junction of the cable to the headlight housing, tighten, as was knitted like a "hot needle".
Nevertheless, my conclusion: Very practical principle, small footprint during transport, rapid assembly and dismantling, virtually foolproof in operation, no noisy fan, no power consumption - that's right at the moment of default. My opinion is the best for little DJ´s and other small formations.
