This week on the challenge, I make a lighting rig for just $1000. Just because you don't have a lot to spend, doesn't mean you have to use bad lighting!

Can you make an update of this video? When tech progresses, tech gets less expensive. And more competition enters the market. Idk when Lixada entered the market. What do you think of them?

My $1000 rig consists of two wash pars, two light bars, and 4 mini moving heads, but the controller, stands, and cables equal out to like $500. So about $1500 for my simple setup.

This can be really well using soundswitch with the 40 dollar dongles, a shit ton of cheap Chinese par lights and moving heads and some class 3r lasers and a chauvet fogger

Have you tried QLC+? It's an open source (free) light console software. It's got a few quirks but seems like a good place to start. I am curious to know if you have tried it?

I would recommend calling tech support for the brand. If it was working, and now it is not, they can lead you to a solution :)

Which Capture should I get? Nexus, Polar, Atlas or Argo? I have Windows 7, so I can't download the new one.

@LearnStageLighting 4 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure where you'd even be able to buy a old one. Any is fine, the newer ones are easier to use and look better, but they all could work for you. Did you know that you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free? www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2020/01/15/how-to-upgrade-to-windows-10-for-free-in-2020/

id get an edmx4 din from dmx king and make an sacn node. costs about the same as an entec box when psu, connectors, cables are accounted for, except im going to be able to get 4 universes of output and be able to use it through onyx. Way better than dmxis. Much more professional control and for the same price. all you need is some basic soldering knowledge and youre good to go

@LearnStageLighting 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, like I've mentioned before, DMXis is much better for beginners. I love Onyx, but if you're just starting with a few lights, the complexity will just slow you down!

Change out the back pars for some small wash movers.

@michaelschneider3446 5 жыл бұрын

You can save more money if you use Chamsys. It is for free and with an art net node with 1 DMX out (approx 90€) you have one universe and full control incl visualizer.

@michaelschneider3446 5 жыл бұрын

But you need as well a pc

@LearnStageLighting 5 жыл бұрын

True, but DMXis is much better for beginners. I find most people have a PC or Mac they can use, so that's a non issue :)

Onyx beats chamsys any day of the week. hook it up to ma3d and u have a free 3d visualizer aswell

It's not going to cover the space as well. But they are a pretty good deal for what they are.
