Chauvet Mirror Ball, 20 inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mirror ball for a Saturday Night Fever party at our yacht club. I also bought the motor, that when attached, makes the ball move slowly in a circle.
This was exactly what I wanted and it was great for the party. Our room was approximately 30' x 50', so this size was perfect. If your room is small, this ball would be too big.
I also separately purchased a cheap clip on lamp with a 75 watt spot at Home Depot to focus on the ball. It is important that you buy a pin spot light or similar or you won't get the effect you want. I found a package which included the ball, motor and pin light for smaller disco balls but I could not find a package for this larger ball.
I would highly recommend this product.

American DJ 4.9mW green laser built in programs produces 32 geometrical shapes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item from Musician's Friends a couple weeks ago. This type of equipment tends to be really expensive, but this one was under $90 bucks and it didn't take me long to find out why; Needless to say the one I got didn't work but that is beyond the point. Warranty is ridiculous, the manufacturer won't even stand by its product. The documentation (which by the way resembles cheap Chinese souvenirs manuals) has more paragraphs listing warranty exceptions than pages explaining the product. Getting customer support is wishful thinking. Bottom line is that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!

Chauvet Mini Flash Strobe Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well Chauvet does have a Lifetime Warranty on this product.*
Chauvet produces quality products, however they left out some important features...
-No On/Off Switch
-No Rhythm Mode (Flashes On Beat)
But it's still a Strobe and Flashes like one. The only control YOU have is plugging it in (which makes the light flash instantly). Also, there is a Pace Control - in which you can control how rapid the flashes reappear.
I bought my friend a strobe for $9.99 @ KB Toys a few years back that had: On/Off Switch, Rhythm Mode, Color Film (for changing colors [clear, blue, green, red]), Pace Control. So if this strobe is still out there for the same $$$ I'd recommend it.
Well choice is yours!
THE AFTERMATH:
So I already wrote this review, but since then (only the 3rd time plugging this mini strobe in) the strobe light blew.
Chauvet does not offer replacement bulbs, however, after I contacted Chauvet through emails, they sent me a brand new 1 free of charge.

Eliminator Lighting Mirror Balls 12 inch mirror ball Mirror Ball Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading the three star review on this ball I wasn't sure what to expect. But one of the sellers had one for a single Andrew Jackson with shipping included. How could I pass that up?
When the ball arrived I was pleasantly surprised. I had just sent back an 8" ADJ kit due to issues with the motor not shutting off, and this ball looks to be as good as that one.
The mirror tiles are very small, (3/8ths inch square) and there are plenty of them. Obviously the more the merrier since the more tiles there are the more spots get thrown to the wall. They were also much more uniform than I expected from the other review.
There is a small self locking nut, and a small cap nut on the end of the threaded dowel that runs through the ball, but I don't see an issue with it since it's so small that I can't imagine how it could be seen when hung on the ceiling. Also, with the weight of the ball, I'd be nervous if there wasn't some sort of positive mechanical stop at the end of the rod to prevent the ball from coming loose at some point. I've posted several pics from several angles so you can decide for yourself as to the quality.
For the $ I'm very happy with it.

Battery Operated LED Strobe Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like the strobe light, it works well and has different colors, but the title specifically says "Battery-operated" and it certainly is not battery operated at all. The company offered me a refund but the event for which I needed it was past. If you can stand the cord, this is pretty good

American DJ 46 HP Silver Par 46 LED RGB Color Mixing Par Can Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great light for the price. A lot of different configuration options. Several auto modes and 2-7 channel DMX operation. Very bright too, brighter colors than a standard incandescent PAR46 with gels. Makes a very tight spot. 4 out of 5 because up close the different colors are noticeable in the light beam.

American DJ Micro Galaxian Laser Special Effects Lighting Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the American DJ Micro Galaxian red & green laser. It is the smaller version of the Galaxian laser with the same laser power output, but a smaller beam spread. It is a compact well built unit with a power switch on the back and a small fan to keep it cool. The small power cord plugs into the back of the unit and has a transformer block on the end of the cord. It comes with a remote that works great, but has an antenna to pull up if needed, which seems like old technology. The remote has 4 buttons which allows you to select auto/sound mode, blackout, color and direction of rotation. When going through the color modes you can select red, green, red/green together or red/green changing and flashing. You can select auto mode or sound mode so it will go with the music. There is also a speed control knob on the back of the laser to have the dots stop completely, move very fast or slow. The darker the room the better, but you can easily see it in any room with the lights on. I am very pleased with it. I havent tried it with fog but I know it would look great since it has 200 beams. It will work great for any DJ to use on the dancefloor, wall or ceiling. This is a great buy under $100.
PROS: It is small, bright, well built and works great. It has a remote to control it.
CONS: Transformer on cord and antenna on remote.

American DJ Flash Shot DMX Variable Speed LED Strobe Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the cheapest qaulity fixture I have ever received from the two big names in lighting. Hopefully, this is not a sign of the direction we are headed.
The details. Everthing about this fixture is plastic, and not a high quality plastic, rendering this strobe lighter weight than a baseball. The DMX connectors have no crispness so you guess at a lazy connection (it had my whole chain down for a while, but later I discovered there is a red status light in there, you wouldn't know it's there if it's not on because it's never mentioned in the manual). Power cord built in (cheap). The worst part: the flimsy dipswitch panel receded and moved around as the toggles were set. The manual could have been written by third graders, with absolutely no mention of whether the switches were required to tell this thing whether to do DMX or built-in, like other fixtures with DMX dipswitches.
Perhaps all the money was saved for the LEDs. Not quite as bright as I expected, would say these would match a 50Watt halogen, in a pair might suffice for a small hall. They were quick enough though to replace a halogen. I had some trouble getting an even response when transitioning at higher flash rates, but that may have been my wireless DMX pushed to it's limits. All in all, it got the strobing part down. The overall white is a little bluer than a halogen's.
Overall, cannot recommend this as a serious unit.

12" Disco Mirror Balls Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We ordered this to be the centerpiece of our 'house party' after our wedding reception. I debated whether to order a bigger ball or to go with this size. For our large family room, this ended up being a perfect size. It was also the largest recommended size for the disco ball motor we ordered to 'rotate' the ball.
When it arrived, I was a little bit disappointed to see how large the pieces of mirror were - thinking that more mirrors would have meant more 'dazzling' light shows. But when the lights went down and we turned on the spotlights, this was more than adequate. I also was worried that perhaps a mirror piece or two might have fallen off in transit. But in the end those turned out to be extra pieces that must have been mistakenly attached, as we weren't missing any on the ball itself.
Keep in mind that you will probably want something to rotate the ball - a disco ball motor - and something to shine on the ball. We used two Par 36 spotlights with two different color gel lenses.
The 'disco' in our family room was a huge hit at the house party with guests of all ages.

Chauvet DMX mega strobe III Dj lights Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own 8 Chauvet strobes. I love the blinder function that was on the original DMX Mega Strobe. The Megastrobe II was missing this so I was naturally excited when it was added back the the Megastrobe III. I bought 4 of these. The first one was DOA. The other 3 have been back to chauvet. 2 are about to go back again. The blinder function flickers sometimes. One flashes intermittently and the other wont flash at all. Its not a bulb problem either, I tried that. I will say Chauvet's service is much more helpful than ADJ's.
Save yourself the headache and go with an Elation Proton star or a used original DMX Mega Strobe. If you don't need the blinder function then maybe even the ADJ $85 strobe.

American DJ PC-100A 8 Channel Power Strip with Lighted Toggles Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought two of these for my home office. The cost of electricity just when up 38% per kilowatt hour by me. First strip is in an equipment rack controlling network gear like DSL modem, firewall, Enet switches, KVM switch, monitor, speakers. It's worked fine.
The second strip is in my office controlling the desk top PC, 3 printers with print servers, various USB hubs, speakers, monitor and such. A problem has come up when using it with the desk top PC. Using the power strip switch to turn on the PC causes the individual switch to fry. And it's stuck in the ON position with the light illuminated, not a failsafe design.
Happened to two positions on the power strip. Measured the peak and steady state watt draw of the PC, I'm and engineer and have such instruments, and it's way within the power strip specs. Using a different power strip with a switch on the PC has never been a problem, that's what I used before. Removed the laser printer from the power strip just in case.
I'll replace the power strip switches rather than RMA the entire power strip. Internally the wiring and outlets can handle the advertised load but the switches cannot.

American Audio DB Display Rack Mount DB Display Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great item. Works well. However I can't get past the fact that it is made of plastic. Somehow you spend thousands on a urei, and hundreds on the eq, etc and then you add a plastic led display. I would gladly pay double for a metal one that is accurate.

American DJ Big Shot 45 Watt Variable Speed Strobe Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great personal strobe light to have!
If you are a "bedroom DJ" (or raver) or simply a DJ looking to light a small area, this is a wonderful strobe light to have, though if you are looking for a professional strobe light (for use at a rave or large party), I suggest that you look elsewhere.
The strobe is lightweight and small. Very easy to transport.
The only problem I have with this strobe light is the small power cord, so once again...if you're looking for professional lighting equipment, a short power cord probably won't suit your needs (though you can always get an extention cord).
To enjoy the Strobe more, I suggest you check out the colored domes ("Big Shot/D" Model), and also, for the 1-15 flashes per second ability or the strobe, I suggest you find a spot somewhere in the middle for a dizzying effect.

American DJ MB8 Combo 8 Inch Mirror Ball Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was purchased as a gift for home use, so this review is not based on professional use of the product.
It came quickly and well packed. I had not complaints with the company.
Assembly was easy, just add batteries and attach the ball to the stand. It connects using a cotter pin that just slides on. The stand can be placed on a table or hung from the ceiling (it has a wire half-moon that would connect over a hook attached to the ceiling). The light comes with 4 color covers.
Everything worked out of the box without issues. About the only complaint I have is when changing the color discs, you unscreww the outer plate of the light. I found it takes a few tries to get it screwed back on. You have to line it up just right. Otherwise, excellent product.
