The review: On the back: The colorstrips have the usual DMX IN/OUT, linking power (but only to other colorstrips!?), mic sensitivity knob and dgital control panel. But what is unique about the colorstrips are that they have a seperate Output connector for Master/Slave. What this allows you to do is split the signal – to have multiple colorstrips act in master/slave while also having them in a DMX chain of other fixtures. Colorstrip programs run from one fixture to the next, creating a very dynamic set of patterns, which only increases with the number of colorstrips that are used. Brightness: Very bright – I would confirm that they are about twice as bright as an LED par 64. I ran two in a smallish sized venue (40×60) and found them almost too bright. They roughly equalled the brightness of a incandescent par 38. Color: With all LEDs on, there is a slight bluish color cast – which is most likely due to the blue LEDs being brighter than red or green ones (which seems to be the case visually). Incandescent washes definately create a more natural light, but for applications where natural light doesn’t matter, the colorstrips perform wonderfully. Color separation: In most colored washes, I’ve found a color shadow cast that exists (such as in a chauvet stage wash 950). I found the colorstrips have much less shadows than the stagewash, which I wasn’t expecting. Patterns: The colorstrips have two different classes of patterns – color changes and color chases. The main distinction …
