SolDios Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Im pretty sure jaycar sells them, go check them out perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 never tried them, and i have no problem with ebay lighting as i used to have a heap of it that worked well, but moving heads can burn out motors very easy so be careful with cheapies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREMM1S Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Look very similar to the sputniks we used to use at work, a really cool and bright beam for the size but not the most reliable light, they arent up to being run for hours on end in clubs.

Lurk6r Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Looks like jay car has them, but at double the price.... might go check them out before work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurk6r Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Checked them of at jaycar, one for 300, 5 for 215 each. Or eBay Two for 150 each... Was fairly bright for its size, strobe was decent, gobo shake seems a bit retarded. I'll get 2 from hong soon and maybe another 2 later.

Jaz Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 just remember the extra your paying at jaycar also gives you a warranty if anything happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourceRaver Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah...they come with a number of brand names. I've used the sputniks a few times and they're a good little light. The beam isn't ultra bright but in a small to medium size venue they look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREMM1S Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Was just they didnt seem to last that long in a club where they are run 8 or so hours a day over the weekend and whatever, soho in sydney has the same problem with theirs too.They would be perfect for a pub or mobile work but would look elsewhere for a club bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelodyIlliterate Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Buy one set from eBay one set froJaycar. Whichever one breaks, take it back to Jaycar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurk6r Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Came in 3 days after ordering from China. One had a broken casing, but the light is working fine so I'm hoping they can just send me a new casing and not have to send it in. Their reasonably bright, if I could change one thing, I'd make the gobo bigger. They look pretty cool with smoke tough. My friend has the wash version of these, much more brighter, but I was afraid they would wash out my lasers and look boring with smoke.

Lurk6r Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 About a month in. Both casings have failed. The screw mounts/holes are mad of cheap plastic and will crack. The light is fun, but for a small hall only. If you are considering getting 4 or more, your better off getting 2 proper moving heads.

GREMM1S Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 So better for occasional mobile work? Surely for the price they are pretty good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurk6r Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 So better for occasional mobile work? Surely for the price they are pretty good thoughFor house parties their cool. In big halls it gets hard to see the gobo, but you can still see the beam if its smokey. I'm just saying you can get more bang for your buck. For $300, your getting 2 moving beams being shot out of a little robot thing. Or you can get two 9 watt dmx led balls. Link them up and spam all things.
