"Great broad use light."
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
If it had clips to keep the gels in it'd be a perfect 10.
Features
It did not come with the footpedal, but it's a great alternative to the PAR can lights. This unit puts out as much light as Par Cans, but for the mobile DJ it's ideal because it's all one unit. It has three stages, all on, programmed patterns, or it can use it's mic and change go with the music.
Quality
Nothing looks loose, the gels do fall out easily if you don't watch them, but as long as you realize it's a breakable object your fine.
Value
$30/Can light or $150 for twelve lights that do the same? No brainer, take this light. Don't be fooled by it's size, it'll put out enough light to keep any room well lit.

"Without service backup, it's only a temporary product."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I will eventually replace both strip lights with something else. I also bought two foot controlers, thinking the first was defective, but did not return it during warranty period. The 'blackout' switch, suppose to turn off the light, does not. Neither controler will turn off the light, although the other functions work.
Features
The 12 lights work well. The trouble now is finding replacement bulbs. I need 8 now, and zzounds does not sell the bulbs, nor can you get the EXACT bulb at Home Depot. Chauvet does not return my calls or email, so service sucts. these bulbs are 130 volt, 12 volt may work with a transformer, but I don't want to go there.
Ease of Use
I have two of these. They are easy to use.
Quality
See above 'features'.
Value
It was a good price, but like I said, I can't find replacement bulbs, and one strip now is non-functional.
Manufacturer Support
see above 'features'.
The Wow Factor
Not when you can't get replacements, or the company won't return calls, can't get through to the company.

I have it, and will soon buy more to fill up all sides of the stage, about 6-12 more!!!
