Stairville LED Bar 240/8 RGB DMX WH

This Stairville LED Bar is fantastic. I use it for many different applications including uplighting internal and external walls of buildings, washing stages and for pixel mapping. This LED Bar works well in all of these situations and performs well. It has many built in programs and chases, which mean that it can easily be plugged into power and used without any DMX programming etc. In these modes, multiple bars can be synchronized together by using Master/Slave.

As well as the built in programs, the Bar can also be controlled over DMX. The onboard screen allows you to choose the DMX address of the fixture as well as choose how many DMX channels you want the bar to use. (2 Channel, 3 Channel, 5 Channel and 24 Channel). I personally always use 24 Channel mode so that I have more control over the bar, however in testing all the others work well.

The position of the IEC In and Out ports on the back of the bar is great. In is on one end of the bar and Out on the other, reducing the mess of cables when uplighting. It would be good if the DMX ports were like this too, instead of in the middle of the bar like they are currently.

Another con is that when using the onboard screen and buttons, the buttons feel quite loose, like they are going to fall off, although if I'm using DMX and have set the address, I don't need to use the buttons to control the bar.

Positives:
I have the ''Stairville Led Bar'' for some time now and I love it.
I use it to my recording studio in the back wall and it really gives a nice smooth brightness to the room.
For the price you paying for the RGB led bar you can adjust a variety of colour which is amazing and what you except from a RGB and also the level of the brightness.Some build in fx like strombling etc. There is a input for dmx control if you have a dmx device mixer which I have no interest for using it but its a good thing that it is there. It comes also with some side metal support so you can hung it in the wall or the ceiling which I don't really know how this is gonna work except you buy a longer power cable.


Negatives:
The build I try not to touch or move it as much as possible because it gives me the impression that it will break up. I would like to have a controller also with it so that I can adjust whenever I want and don't mess with this annoying buttons behind the RGB bar. Some more variety in the colours would be also nice.

Coclusion: If you want something stable for your studio it does what it supposed to do but always think about how big your room is in a smaller room I would suggest something smaller because of the space that it takes.

At this price I am blown away by this light and all it's features! I bought four of these lights in a pack and what a difference they have made to my band's lighting show. The option to choose the DMX Channel mode means it is a versatile fixture. The light comes with two sets of floor stands which are great to use when you want to outline a stage. For the best effect however, I recommend getting some clamps for them and rigging these lights down from a truss in lines. You can create some amazing patterns with the chases and it offers really different lighting looks which will give your stage character. Do not be worried about these lights not being bright enough either! Their colours are rich and the brightness is fantastic. If you cant afford a LED screen with visuals for your band, these LED Bars will do a great job at adding some movement to your backdrop. I will definitely be getting more of these lights in the future! The value for money is outstanding, another high quality and well built product from Stairville, what more could you want?

This was an awesome light for the price. It was DMX controllable which was a particular need of mine and can easily be setup with light to sound so that I can just plug in and go!

This particular light would look great if it was also accompanied by another one on a PA stand for instance. I have them producing light shows beneath the PA speakers.

In terms of build and durability - they are great and not just made out of flimsy plastic.

If I was to try and improve the product then I would perhaps make it so that I could provide fixings with the product in order to attach them to a stand or a pole without buying an extension but apart from that, would highly recommend.

I've used these LED bars for a good few years now, and I absolutely love them.

Pros
- The light output is rather bright for its cost.
- Comes with 2 types of brackets.
- Full DMX control

Cons
- For some reason, power in is by itself, and DMX in/out, and power out are all together, it would be nice if power in and DMX in was together at one end, and the same with power out and DMX.
- There is sadly no diffusing panel to make a soft glow.

Overall, its a very nice fixture and will be continuing to use it, let alone, continuing to buy them later down the line.

I can't recommend this highly enough. For this incredibly low price, you get a light with fantastic features and a really high output. I have bought 4 of these, and used them in theatre, discos, band lighting and light shows as well as other situations which they have been perfect for all of! Power linking is a big bonus, and makes the setup tidier and easier every time. On one of the four, there are a couple of LEDs that have stopped working, but that isn't a big issue - and wouldn't be noticeable unless you were specifically looking like I was! I have had many comments about how good they look, and love the fact that you can control each of the 8 sections individually (I've programmed some chases on them that looked really nice). I may well be buying some more in the near future - and strongly suggest that anyone thinking about it does the same!
