Weather System EXA is a powerful and portable lighting system with eight individually controllable LED fixtures, each with 3* 15W high-intensity 6-in-1 RGBAW+UV LEDs. They come fully loaded with a tons of cool features that include RGBAW+UV color mixing, independent fixture swivel & tilt positioning, a wireless footswitch controller with internal rechargeable battery, an adjustable lighting stand with case, a fixture carry case, and tons of goodies that will give users all the tools they'll need to create fantastic light shows!
Users can control their own light show completely cord free with the Weather Systemâ„¢ EXA 2.4Gz wireless + rechargeable battery powered 4-switch foot controller. Just set the foot controller frequency to match the fixture(s) set frequency, and you're good to go! Setup multiple fixtures to the same frequency, or use a different frequency for multiple wirelessly controlled setups in the same space, completely free of interference.
The 4 switches found on the wireless foot controller offer quick and easy access to many awesome features. The MODE switch allows users to cycle through all of its 22 built-in programs + sound active modes (speed controllable by the TAP SYNC switch), change colors to any running auto program on the fly with the COLOR switch, use the BLACKOUT switch to start and stop the action, then the multi-functional TAP SYNC switch can either be used to set Auto Speed, or if the Auto Mode is set to either "Step Mode" (individual steps) or "One-Shot" (run program once), it will trigger the action. And then there's "Loop Mode" to loop the auto programs making killer light shows a breeze!
It also has a built-in 4-button LED control panel on the backside that is simple to use and allows total control over the fixture including a wide variety of DMX channel modes, 3 different auto mode types with 22 built-in programs, 3 sound active modes (color change, white strobe, and color chase), user adjustable fade/strobe effects, an automated color change timer, and also 32-bit dimming curve settings to gain smoother (and slower) dimming capabilities.
These fixtures come with industry standard PowerCON® compatible power Input/Output connections, 3-pin DMX Input/Output connections, DMX Sync Output (output for cable linked M/S setups with single footswitch control), and dual mounting brackets with locking knobs for the extra option of free-standing just the fixture or truss mounting.

Great light, bright and portable but a few design flaws.<br /> 1. The stand that comes with it is too short and you can't use a light stand because the socket is too small<br /> 2. There is no way to secure the light into the stand so it just kinda sits there and wobble <br /> 4. I like that they give you a powercon connector but is only a 4 footer. To me this makes absolutely no sense it wouldn't have cost them a whole lot to put a 10' or 15' cable. Why would you include a cable that doesn't reach from the top of the already short tripod to an outlet? <br /> <br /> Other Then that I would highly recommend this light just know that you'll have to buy some extra accessories to make it work
Nice fixture over all. I got this because of the 6 in 1 and it looked like a better design than the original. Now I would have given it a 5 and I didn't because of the screw issue that is not included to hold the light on the bar. This thumb-screw is crucial. They put a hole in the T-Bar there for the thumb- screw and don't give you the screw..... If you don't have a screw, your light will most likely dangle. The stand is short, and could have been longer because this is a wash fixture. Short cables, not like the original. If the original had 6 in 1 and built like this one, it would be perfect imo.
Update: Ok, I ordered another Weather System EXA...... 2 star because of the inconsistency with blizzard lighting. This one didn't even come with a bag for my stand.. The difference in the first Gen weather system and the newer exa as of 2017 is the rgbwa+uv, more channel modes, wireless foot pedal(haven't used it yet). The quality should not go down when you introduce a newer product... it should increase because the price increased. Negatives.. Short stand, no knob to hold light on the short stand so it won't wobble, short power con cord vs the long one with the original. I like the idea of the light, and I just don't understand why they decided to do everything else with it like this.
Alan Halverson: FYI, there should have been a small thumbscrew in the packaging to screw into the T Bar mount for the purpose of securing the light to the stand. Mine had the thumbscrew but it certainly would have been easy to miss. You're certainly right about the short stand and powercon cable though - pretty ridiculous.
