36LEDs RGB Stage Lights 2Pack - 36W Pair Lights Sound Activated Remote & DMX Control by Corded Electric Uplights for Events Church Wedding Club Band Music Dance Show DJ Party Lighti

Overall for the cost, these lights are great. The packaging they arrived in were nice and professional. I had no problems using or programming the lights using MyDMX3.0 software from ADJ. I was also able to use a couple of the lights in manual mode and control them with the remote, which also worked fine - only comment with the remote is the directivity of the IR LED is pretty wide, meaning it might control more than one light at a time if you don't directly point at the one you are trying to control closely. As for the build quality, everything is plastic, minus the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is pretty thin and flexible, as most other reviews indicate. But, for the price of the lights, that was expected and doesn't really affect their performance. I do wish the lights had IEC cables rather than a built in plug - makes it easier to mount and rig because you can use different length IEC cables rather than a bunch of extension cords. Additionally, if there was an IN and OUT for power on these, that would make stringing them together much easier was well. As for the performance of the lights, I was slightly disappointed with the color of the LEDs. All of the colors seem to be off slightly - for example, the red channel looks more orange than red. I was having a difficult time trying to get nice, deep, dark colors out of these lights; but again, for the price, they were still good. They are very bright, as other reviews also indicated. The beam angle of these is very tight and directive though, I may look into some kind of diffuser for these in the future because of that. I used these lights along with some others inside and outside for a pool party I hosted. I had 6 of the pars mounted outside under a deck in the summer with ~85 degree F weather for the day. They were running from about 2:00pm until 12:00am with no issues at all. I have also used them a few other times since then and have not had any problems either. I would recommend these lights to anyone looking for some lights for a party, or decorations, or even photography (which is on my list to try).

These lights do what is advertised. For a complete noob they are a bit complicated. Understanding how things work was a bit frustrating and took me quite a while with heavy use of YouTube videos to configure my setup the way that I wanted. Controlling them from my MacBook worked mostly, and I'm not sure if the struggles I have had are a result of my lack of knowledge, or something about the lights themselves. I did get them to work. The XLR connections do come unplugged for me occasionally when I'm shuffle things around. The instructions and remotes are very confusing, and the documentation really needs to be improved. I would say, don't order these if you don't know what you are doing (like me). Otherwise, they look great on video and have lasted for a long time.

These lights are a game changer! They have enhanced the beauty of the décor where I have decorated. Totally impressed with the functionality and versatility.

We got these lights to add more of a "party" vibe to the dance floor area at our upcoming wedding reception. I tested them in our guest bedroom to see the light output and it's pretty good in a smaller space. It was easy enough to get them working and to run through a few of the different settings using the remote, but for the more manual settings, I had to really work to understand the instructions and using the buttons on the back of the unit to navigate the internal menu wasn't exactly intuitive for me. But I do like that you can make it fade or flash through different colors, strobe effect, or even put it on auto where it will cycle through all the setting types automatically. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's advertised that it syncs to music but it didn't do that for me. I played music with heavy bass on a small but powerful Jawbone Jambox speaker in the small room and it did not sync to the music. However, it DID sync to me clapping my hands, so maybe it only syncs to music played over a PA that's more powerful? Also, one remote can control different lighting units, but even though I start them at the same time, after about a minute they get out of sync from one another. But being inexpensive lights, I wasn't expecting high quality, and they will get the job done for what we need for one night.

Sound mode using DMX does not work same as older models with no remote. It does go to Sound Mode manually, but not if using DMX. Looks like DMX sound mode is some kind of alternating flashing colors, which is probably ok, but not the same as older models. Also when I opened it up it looks like when they added the remote module inside they removed the fan. Its quieter, which is good, but now will it overheat inside the case? Overall these are ok lights. I use them as stage lighting for bands and they have lasted well.
