Hey Darryl. Thank you so much for all the very useful content. Question, I have Both Lighting IR4s and Titan tubes along with 2 chauvete wash fx all running with SoundSwitch and I'm very happy with the system. My only wish would be to have a battery powered wash as powerful as the Chauvet wash fx so I can go 100 wireless. Do you know any fixture like that? Note: I really don't want to get into moving heads 😊
@@lucasdemaria1024 I made a video a few days ago if you need to see how they look. I am interested in the both lighting 360 tubes further down the line though
Just came here to see those Both Lighting Moving Heads and they suck. I'm sure if you had 8 of them for a concert but not for a DJ Gig, where you are trying to wash the dance floor.
Thank you Daryl for this video! This Battery Beams are perfect for me, I only do small venues - indoor and outdoor. + they are white. Convenient and not too much for the venue. Thank you!
Great video Daryl! Loved the « photobooth ate someone » haha The beams… impressive battery life. But not such impressive dancefloor effect… they should have used a wider lens and make it a spot, to direct compete with the JMAZ and the Chauvet. A beam is just… a pretty boring beam with no useful gobos. It does look pretty okay with the prism though, to mimicking a moving spot. It would be interesting to see the beam+prism side by side with your JMAZ spot. I bet you’ll go back to the JMAZ :) Great content, as always and wow you live in a pretty area, that drive at the beginning of the video looks gorgeous.
Love the review of your gear and the follow up the next day even though your clearly soooo tired and I can hear the baby in the background, I’m in the same boat as you so well done bro for giving us all the low down and being a hard working dad 🙌 your doing great 👌
Ordered a set of these fixtures and so far the only issue I have with them is they are not powered via a standard locking Powercon connection. They are using the same twist-lock connector but for a 33.6v power brick they include with each fixture. What happens if someone accidentally uses a standard power cord with these?
Will test later if these will still work while charging as what happens if you forget to charge your fixtures beforehand or if the battery dies prematurely?
@@DJDarylBennett 100%... just sucks they chose to use the same ac locking connector over a more standard barrel jack or 4 pin dc connector. All it takes is one person plugging in the wrong cable to have a bad day. On a positive note tested them today and they do work while plugged in and charge the battery slowly. The power bricks have loud fans though while charging so it's likely better to just run them wirelessly.
I know the appeal of movers with tight beams is a big deal for those who want the effect of light beams and haze, but how wide of a spread can the battery movers do? I usually use wash movers now and I think I definitely prefer a wide wash over a tight beam since haze and fog are being allowed in less places where I live.
IF you would use normal top-sub speakers instead of column speakers, then wind would be no issue for the sound :), also my recommendation is to limit the movement area of the movers and in such tents, I usually let them draw around only on the tents ceiling, as this is the only place where they are visible..
The wind was an issue for flipping furniture, decor, and food haha It also was not good for the cameras. That is a good way of doing it, I personally like scanning the crowd
Those beams are definitely small on the wall. Were you ever templates to leave on the larger frost circle to make more of an impact? Also, if you do that does it lessen the overall brightness being it is spread out over a larger area? Thanks!
I tried to vary the frost circle, and the narrow beam and the prism.. but I think I didn't have much of the frost circle! I definitely think it would lessen the overall brightness being spread out over a larger area, at least a bit. I'll try to show some footage at the next gig
The beams are kind of small imo also, less effective without haze. It’s a compromise. Great video
Yeah that's why I generally like spots more than beams, because we can't always use haze. Thanks for watching!
Man that photobooth looked like pacman eating that man!
They were bright enough for me, you could see the just fine in daylight.
Thanks for sharing your feedback!

You can use battery uplights as washes. You can even put multiple of them onto a T-bar to be brighter. The wash fx is just suuuper bright
@@DJDarylBennett thank you so much. I'll consider that for sure. Cheers
@@lucasdemaria1024 I have the wash fx hex but just moved to the equinox spectrapix lithium wash lights. Makes it so much easier using battery
@@g40chris thank you so much for the info. Checking on them right now 👍

Beams aren't for everyone and I agree that spots are better

Thank you!
Glad to help!
They were dancing for like 4 hours it felt like haha! Nice gig and this answered a bunch of questions I had.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching

It could start a fire according to Both Lighting. Probably bring your 33.6v power brick

Did you find out if they can also run off AC power?

“The photobooth ate somebody” now that a bar right there 😂 and then to see an actual clip had me 💀
Ok so you quickly said it wasn’t your event but still funny
I was the DJ at that event... the wind was wild... the tiered wedding cake almost flew off the table
