GaryMartin Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sure, all of the commercial brands make outdoor units but I think most of us would walk away from a $1,000 RGB flood that wasn't as bright as something like that $150 Rainbow Extreme. Just sayin....DownTown wrote:GaryMartin wrote: The problem with those inexpensive DJ lights is that they're not even close to being outdoor units.

duner10 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Just purchased a rainbow extreme. I will compare it to the chavet when it gets here and sure the video with you all. What else do I need for the rainbow extreme to talk to madrix.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiplorenzo Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 You can build these for less than you can purchase them. If you are looking for intelligent RGB, Check out DIYLIGHTANIMATION.COM . To build these one needs some wood, some caulking and a piece of plexiglass or glass. Should cost less than 50.00 for the materials... and then the lights. They can be purchased online if you want the dumb rgb for about 22.00 on Ebay. I use the SMD 5050 IP68 to build wash lights as they change color and I don't need independent pixel control. KipRay Wu's store also has DMX controllable flood lights for about 24 each (10 W) or 49 each for the 30 w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
