The ape labs do it for me because of the size, simplicity and efficacy…the only drawback is the limited types of lights they offer…I hope they expand soon
Dam Son! This was the comparison video we have all been waiting for, im sure of it. Thank you brotha. I really want to see what the Ape Labs Mini looks like with the rest of these.
DJVetz510 you’re welcome. The ape labs stuff is good. Actually looking into getting a few Maxi ‘s soon...ape coins are the ultimate gate drugs for lights haha
@@lavishlifedjs you definitely get what you pay for. Longer battery life and those lights will probably last an easy 8+ years. But that's some serious 💰💵 . 24 maxis @ $10k vs 24 rockville @ under $3k
DJVetz510 yeah the money thing is a big sticking point. I’ll probably buy 1 or 2 of them over time...For now I like using the Rockvilles with soundswitch but I don’t like the idea of being webbed into another subscription...so many things are subscription these days...other than that the Rockville’s are good. The one bad thing is the support. I had to have one light fixed and it was a disappointing 3 months of waiting with no communication. They eventually fixed it and sent it back back but beware...
@@lavishlifedjs awe daem, 3 months is a while. But i guess its better than no customer service qhen compared to chinese lights and other vendors. Butnyes. That price point.
Thank You for this video, it answered my question. I orederwd a 1 pack of the coins last night, with the power banks you suggested. Now it looks like the wedges are better for uplighting and the coins are better effect lights. Thanks again, you've been a big help, keep putting out these informative videos. ✌
I am jumping on board. Great video and answered many of my questions. The Wedge and Par 50 are about the same... so pay more for the Par 50? Thank you!!
you would know this... does nyone make a 180 degree up light. meaning the spread is like half a circle, so you dont have to bring many and do they make a battery powered one? Thanks
@@lavishlifedjs the rockwedges have 3 18w led's = 54 the best par 50 have 4 6w led's = 24 so technically, the rockwedges are WAY brighter but they almost look the same on your video
You might get a better comparison on brightness throughout the light throw if you incorporated the 10 degree lens from ape labs. Just sayin. Great review.
@@paulparrinello2526 I like the ape labs lights better because they are easier to transport, better remote, better light show without having to fuss with dmx The ape labs lights lights are a bit more expensive tho
They sure are. Probably one of the better lights if you get the wireless dmx versions…you hook up the Rockville wireless transmitter to soundswitch then all your lights are controllable
I believe so. To go totally wireless you would have to buy a wireless transmitter and receiver if the lights don't already come with it built in. For the rockville joints, all you need is the wireless dmx transmitter because the best par 50, 60 and rock wedges all have wireless dmx receivers built in. Same goes for the ape labs, you would need the W Ape wireless transmitter because the wireless dmx transmitter is built in to ape labs lights. The Chinese uprights need both the wireless transmitter and receiver, some people are happy with the donner wireless transmitter and receiver...hope this helps
DJVetz510 for the Rockville joints ? Real world I’ve done 2 events 4 hrs each without charging...I think you can definitely get about 7-8hrs...For the charging yes you have to keep the lid open and only charge 6 at a time.
The generic par's are TRASH... They're terrible 🤣 it was my first leap into the light game. I've since sold them and upgraded to adj hex pars. The coins look good; so do the rockvilles. I like the idea of not needing wires but I would hate having to charge everything. Thanks for the videos
Yeah I still have the generics from awhile back. Don’t use em anymore. I prob should sell them too...the charging thing is a pain but that is why I like the coins, the power banks are so easy to charge all at once.

Thanks so much for the extensive and detailed review! I love the feedback on each. I’m leaning on apes labs
The ape labs do it for me because of the size, simplicity and efficacy…the only drawback is the limited types of lights they offer…I hope they expand soon
😀 Thanks for making this! I think you just sold me on the 10-pack of rock wedges 👍
Check out the ir4s from both lighting as well

Your welcome

You’re welcome. Will definitely do more vids.
Yo good video Lavish, keep rockin' steady !
Appreciate it
I have 20 Rockville Rockwedges and I love them
Yeah I had 18 myself and love them as well just fell in love with the Apr labs light and switched gears
Dope video
Thanks
I am jumping on board. Great video and answered many of my questions. The Wedge and Par 50 are about the same... so pay more for the Par 50? Thank you!!
Lots of people saying they’ve had better experiences with the 50s so far over the wedge
I have heard the wedge has connection issues
you would know this... does nyone make a 180 degree up light. meaning the spread is like half a circle, so you dont have to bring many and do they make a battery powered one? Thanks
Honestly not Sue
Thanks DJ Peck!
Any time!
What do you recommend for up lighting, the best pack 50, or the wedges?
The best pack 50 are smaller and slightly brighter. I would def do those.

BK Ray 4 Sure...I did it here: m.th-cam.com/video/CUyQ16LUYx4/w-d-xo.html
Would you get the 6 rockville wedge + road case ($799) or 6 rockville best par 50 + software case ($699)?
Tough call…I like the compact best pars plus a $100 less…can’t go wrong with either
@@lavishlifedjs thank you for the video & reply
Hello I want to buy the Rockville best par 50, my question is are they very good and if they have good power to put them in some totems
I use them all the time. In fact they fit perfectly under the totems. Best lights for the money. Bright and compact.
@@lavishlifedjs thank you so much for you help
@@djsleytterinocente5267 your welcome
Which one is brighter- the best par 50’s or the wedge? Also which one is lighter in weight?
Both similar can’t go wrong with either…personally I would go with the 50
@@lavishlifedjs do you think the Ap Lab maxi’s are better? I heard they are much better
@@paulparrinello2526 I like the ape labs lights better because they are easier to transport, better remote, better light show without having to fuss with dmx
The ape labs lights lights are a bit more expensive tho
@@lavishlifedjs do the Ape Labs lights do the color Amber or Candlelight? I guess you get what you pay for just like DJs?
Are the Rockville lights compatible with sound switch ?
They sure are. Probably one of the better lights if you get the wireless dmx versions…you hook up the Rockville wireless transmitter to soundswitch then all your lights are controllable
Can you control these with adj airstream bridge
I believe so. To go totally wireless you would have to buy a wireless transmitter and receiver if the lights don't already come with it built in.

bro, you can control ANY light with the adj dmx bridge!
Whats the battery life like in real applications? Like with a normal pre programed chase...
Also, whats charging like? Do you have to keep the lid open?

@@lavishlifedjs awesome. Thanks brotha
Great Video. I got some rockville wedges and I test the battery I got 15hrs.
Steady Manos thanks. Wow 15 hrs. With just a single color ? Or with sound active mode ?
