Super bright! These babies will light up a larger space (and I have) easily. I should point out that I had the previous generation Wash FX and I feel these are slightly brighter, have better sound programs , and now have UV as an additional color. These can easily perform the function of blinders as well. Wide open they are hard to look anywhere near them. I have them paired up with a DMX controller and create some pretty neat effects because you can control any of the 6 zones per light independently. I run 4 and have a total of 24 zones of light to play with. I will suggest that you either put them on a controller to dim their output slightly, or position them so they are not close and pointing straight at the audience. You will see a lot of squinting eyes if you just throw them on auto and point them right at a nearby dance floor. For this price range, you are getting into a pro level of light output. The light output of those all-in-one light bars such as the gig bars don't have half the output that these do. Overall a very versatile light for the money.
So far so good. It is definitely bright. I really haven't had time to sit down and work the full effect through DMX, but the simple things I'm doing with it work pretty good. I would have given it a 4 star but I am a little disappointed with the brightness of the UV (that was the main reason I bought it). I am doing a UV party this weekend. Well see how it does with that effect at a party where you need it. But if you need a bright wash, for the price it's a good choice.
Great lights! Very bright and the stand alone modes are great! Perfect when mounted on the poles of a RCF J8!
Super bright! Worth every penny. Tons of capability once you get into the 8 and 28 channel programs.
Charles Veale: Tim B, keep in mind that UV is substantially less bright than the other colors on ANY light (this might already be obvious to you). I compared these to my dedicated UV bars (ADJ Eco UV Bar)and these were comparable for UV and took up less space than the bar. I think you will be pleased using them for your UV party. Unless you are using a couple of the UV cannons, you will need a few UV fixtures to get a really good "glow" effect. I use 3 UV bars and 4 of these lights to really light a decent size space.
