BETOPPER Barndoors LCBD-001 Evening Light Deflector Disco Spot Lights Stage LED by DMX DJ Light Barn Doors Theater Photostudio Party for LC001-H LC002-H LC003-H LC200W-H

Very well made and large strobe light. Speed of strobe easily adjustable along with the brightness.

I have used this light a few times for singing gigs. Once you screw the legs in tight, it is sturdy and doesn’t move.Bright enough to give a gentle up lighting. Only a few down sides.1. Very short plug wire.2. Very noisy, so if taking videos it probably will be heard in the background.Overall sturdy and worth the money.

It's nice being able to control the strobe speed top marks from me

Quite a good light for the price, easy DMX control. Fixed connections might be an issue for some users but other than that a good light.

So, my use case for this light is a little different from other people's; I am using it in a video production set-up. The device is both very bright with a high CRI normally associated with photography/video equipment, and it also allows colour temperature correction.It pumps out 200W of light, which is more than you will need for stills photography, but makes this very useful for video/film. The problem being that most photography oriented lighting simply is not bright enough for video; most stills photography has the lighting much less than 2 metres away. With this light, you can be much further out, allowing actors to move around.The difficulty was, as expected, that this lamp is designed for a stage setting. It is (extremely!) heavy for photography equipment. Fine with existing video equipment though, as long as you have a good video tripod (which tend to be both much stronger and capable of being set on a moving dolly). You will have to make your own mounting though, as it comes with non-photography compliant fixings.I also tried this out for outdoor lighting, as that seems to be an advertised use case. Some caution on this; the lighting is waterproof, but I would not recommend leaving it out for extended periods. It is more designed for an outdoor concert/event where there might be poor weather, but not as a permanent outdoor fixture.If you intend to use this in a domestic use case (such as occasional garden lighting for parties), be aware that they are VERY bright at max illimitation, and small children seem to be drawn to it! Looking into the light at max brightness is a no-no.Overall, a very versatile light. Perfect for stage production, and very usable as a main video light because of its good colour rendition and long throw, once you have worked out how to mount it. Not so good for domestic use though because directional 200W is so bright that it can become dangerous to inquisitive young people, who will see a cool 'batman searchlight' to be played with!

The light is getting 5 stars - because it feels like a quality piece of kit - and just over £100 with the present voucher included feels decent value.I used to mess about with lights a bit, but this is a pro-DMX kit - I've tried to link two DMX lights together and not had much joy. This would clearly benefit from a DMX controller, which I'm looking into.However, the instructions are really sparse. It's supposed to be sound activated and I have no idea how to do that. It would be good if it came with some instructions for those of us not entirely versed in these matters.They do have an online website with a helpline and email, which is a nice surprise, I will likely try and call/email them to see if they can give me some tips - especially on sound activation, or "linking" without a DMX controller.My lack of knowledge is not their fault. And admittedly, for this kind of equipment you may well assume the person using knows what they're doing. This is why I've not knocked the stars off.I have figured out how to turn the brightness down, and I just manually change the speed of the strobe so it's a more gentle flicker - it makes a cool spotlight as well.The fan is a little noisy for home use - but when I say noisy, it isn't over the top - it sounds like a small fan running - which is exactly what it is. Just don't expect a silent light, obviously!Much to Mrs. R's consternation, it has taken a place on the chalk-painted dresser as I quite like the look of it - although the included DMX and power linkages mean there are ample thicker leads at the back (that are quite short, by the way! Bear that in mind when plugging in. The power cable is about 75cm long. The DMX cables are about 1 meter.)Remember though, it's been designed to link together with other lights. It's really quite a clever design and saves you buying DMX cables, too.I really want to get this working properly!! I am also learning a few new things along the way here :)I hope you found this review insightful, especially if you're a beginner that saw this and wentSTROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBEEEEEEEEEEEEE LIGHT!!!!!For those of you like me, it's still cool, even though I don't know how to use it properly yet!

This is the second one of these i've reviewed from the same manufacturer, this one has a frosted lens covering the 54 led bulbs. The rest is exactly the same.....the light output is a bright white, the colour temperature can be adjusted via the menu system as can the brightness and strobe speed, the strobe goes really fast. The power input and output is unusually made of captive cables with 3 pin 13 amp plug and socket on them, this is great to daisy chain lights to save providing a plug for each one, the same for the dmx connections, these are captive flying cables with cheap plastic xlrs on the end. I would say this is designed for either installation in a small venue or a pub, or for home users, professional products don't usually have captive cables.

extra bright

Reasonably priced and solid construction. Fits perfectly on the Betopper light.

This puts out a serious amount of light! It can be adjusted manually or you can control it over DMX. Like most lights I have bought, the manual is just terrible. These manufacturers need to provide a bit more information than a DMX chart. Luckily it's not too hard to figure out but a little extra info would be great.A photographer would call this a bi-color light as it has warm and cold LEDs in it. Most photography lights have a single color temperature adjustment, this one lets you adjust the warm and cold light brightness separately.The enclosure is solid, waterproof and heavy, it should dissipate heat well. All the connectors are the style used in waterproof outdoor lights. These connectors are not compatible with normal indoor power and XLR DMX cables so they include an adapter cord for each. This will come in handy if you want to daisy-chain these lights with other ones using non-waterproof connectors. I would have really liked it if they had included a second DMX adapter and an output adapter to plug into a non-waterproof light, but I suppose these can be bought if you need them.There is some confusion about the specs of the light, in some places it is described as a 4x50W light, in some of the product pictures it says 4x100W Either way it generates a lot of light, however when I compared it to one of my 60W photography lights it didn't seem to be 3+ times brighter. No way to be certain of that without a good light meter though and unfortunately I don't have one.The light has a strobe function but doesn't have any sound activated or other automatic patterns so if you want the light to change real time you will have to do it by DMX control.I'd say this light is a good value and very solidly made, it should last.

Me costo meterle los tornillos pero uns vez puesto en su sitio perfecto.

J'ai dessoudé les 4 plaques de métal car j'avais besoin d'une plus grande ouverture. Fonctionne très bien. Je fixe le barn door avec des tie wraps. Parfait.
