They're excellent units. So inexpensive, cases are nice and light, and you can fully map them in Soundswitch. So far been using them in M/S mode due to internal antennas. Also, easily fit 5 lights per bag. No need for a protective case like a pelican. Theyre well protected in the bags. Love mine.

Great information. I'm a rookie, so i have a question. When you have so many lights (IR-4) and using a DMX Controller like SS, do you just program 1 light to your DMX Controller and master/slave the rest? or do create program each light to its own set of channels? Thanks
@DJDarylBennett Жыл бұрын
When you master slave them, you essentially make the master be the transmitter. Its better to have each light share the same DMX address than master slave. My show has 6 unique addresses
@djfernandovon14 күн бұрын
@@DJDarylBennett hi , im a bit confused. when you put them in master slave if i got it right, you control the first light , the master, with the control and all the rest of them in slave will follow what the master is doing , correct? now, when you said it's better each light share the same dmx address but then say you have 6 unique addresses , that got me lost. lets say first light is number 001, what do you do with the other 39 lights? leave all of them in 001? or you put for example 5 lights in 001, then 5 lights in 011, 5 lights in 021, etc? like spliting the dmx per number of fixtures? to be clear, i still have the wired old models and im looking to buy some lights with wireless dmx but they are so expensive, like 2/3k for 10 lights. these for 600 sounds amazing, even though they dont appear to be very bright, the color dies in your video about 1m above the floor. but the price point is amazing and enough for weddings up to 100 ppl id say. thanks

Hi Daryl, I've been following you on KZfaq for a long time, I really like your videos. As a result, I recently bought a set of Bothlighting IR4 and Soundswitch with Control One. I would like to ask for your help, because I can't control them via DMX! /Everything is fine with the other lights: ADJ Focus Spot 4Z, ADJ Element Hexip, Cameo Par6./ The Soundswitch settings and management are correct. I probably don't set the IR4 right, they don't communicate with the Wifi beacon. What am I setting wrong? Thanks, Norbert
