Feature: DMX compliant, but also runs automatically. LED - runs very cool. Ease of Use: Plug it in. Quality: Some issues with dead LED's, but zzounds.com has replaced them immediately. Value: Little pricey for a bunch of LED's, but overall, nice product. Overall: I use these for a tradeshow booth, so power and brightness was my main concern. They work VERY well in a dark room, but in a moderately lit area, they are not super bright. That's LED's. However, they consume little power, don't have bulbs to break in transport and don't build up heat - so I can mount them pretty much anywhere. They work well for us.

Feature: This light does not come with any accessories, but this light is still awesome. In stand alone mode you could turn on the light to different colors depending on the DMX switch assignment. So if you want red only then flip switch 1, 2, or 3. 1 is 25%, 2 is 50%, 3 is 100%. So if you want green only then flip switch 4, 5, or 5. 4 is 25%, 5 is 50%, 6 is 100%.So if you want blue only then flip switch 7, 8, or 9. 7 is 25%, 8 is 50%, 9 is 100%. DMX compliant, uses 3-pin DMX cables. Sound Activated or Automatic modes. Ease of Use: Basically just plug it in if you want a light show. Really simple to program and even simpler to use. Instruction manual is very clear and very helpful Quality: This one gets a 7 instead of 10 only because a couple of the ones I got were already broken. But if they had all been top shape I would have given it a easy 10. Value: For the value of this product I was blown away. For something this low of a price, to produce so much color and luminosity is just wow. Manufacturer Support: I haven't dealt with the product company but I have dealt with zZounds. All I have to say is that zZounds is awesome with their support. The Wow Factor: I have four of these right now but I would like to have maybe about 20. The reason for this is because these units require less power to operate then regular par cans. Overall: I should be satisfied with this product for years to come. If these lights were ever stolen, I would cry first, then go and buy more of these lights. The thing I like most about it is the ease of use and friendly features.

Sound: These don't make sound but do a good job of syncing to the beat. Feature: One light almost any color what else can you ask for here. Ease of Use: Dip switches are a pain but all DMX lights in this range use them. Quality: Not as bright as the color radio ones that just came out but those are in a whole different price range and can replace 1000 watt par cans. They feel like they are well built and solid, much better that normal par cans. Value: pricier to get started with but since you don't need to keep buying $15-20 bulbs that should even that out. Manufacturer Support: not needed as of yet The Wow Factor: These things are great. We bought 8 and put them on 2 trees and it was plenty of light for our needs. I was a little worried about not being bright enough but that was not an issue. Probably would not work well in a bright room or outside but in a darkened ballroom or a bar they are perfect. Oh yeah I ran all 8 off of stage power, with par cans I would have needed one more 20a circuit for lights. Overall: If you want an alternative to par cans these are the way to go. Very little current draw, brighter that I thought they would be and you can do a good looking light show with a lot less fixtures since these change color. Can't think of any downsides but we will see how they hold up to gigging 2-4 times a week for the next 9 months or so.
