Nice thanks you for sharing all that imfo,for us 👌
Nice, may have to keep an eye on these. I have some of the other moving head wash lights that you did a video on, but these look like a worthy upgrade.
I really like these. 👍 Thanks for watching.
What do you think is better: two moving spot heads to use as beams or the 5 color laser beams in a staionary unit? This is for basement use. I'd go with 10w moving heads cause I dont like it bright.
It depends on the effect you are looking for, the size of the space, how your controlling them amd personal preference. If you are using dmx you can always dim. If you are using haze more beams will look better... like a laser (in my opinion)
Hey Kris, How are you? I hope you and your family are doing well. I was wondering if you happened to use GSuite for anything business-related? Would you mind doing a video on certain apps/software you use for your DJ business? Have a great day and stay safe.
Hi, I am doing pretty good. Hope you are doing well. I acually use Cloverbook for Agreements and such and Vibo for planning.
Bought this light and it came with a metal noice when I moves not god but overal the light is god hope the issue resolves the communication with shreds is great so I tried ordering to more😊
Sorry you are having an issue with a fixture... Let me know how it works out.
Hello, I bought 2 pieces, very good appliances, A question for you, do you have fixtures? For a freestyler
Are you asking about fixture profiles?
Wonder how these stack up to the rogue r2/r2x washes. I'd imagine the chauvet ones still lead the pack, but I'm curious by how much
From a quick look at the specs and price here is what i see. The rx2 tilts more, has multiple ranges which you can limit and 25w leds opposed to 15w. Which all sounds great for someone who wants to use auto modes, needs super bright lights and deeeep pockets. If using dmx and hanging them you can get 8 of the shehds for price of 1 of the rx2s. Or 2 and 2 back up units with plents of money for more lights and a haze machine. Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. Oh... just got a Shehds 19x2 jms webb big bee eye video coming soon. Really excited about this one!
Question for you. I recently picked up the 160W Spot... I want to mount it ontop of the pole of one of my gravity stands using the M10 pole adapter...but the way the shehds light mounts is with two of those fast omega brackets. (E.g. not a single hole in the middle to mount). Have you had to deal with this and have any solutions?
Thanks for watching. I have not tried this for any lights in a long time. I suppose you could get a thin steel plate at homemdepot and drill 3 holes in it. DiY fun. 🤷♂️
What is the American equivalent of these. Trying to find a similar one to edit the profile off of for Grand MA 2
Hey Leon, I am sorry I do not know. I create the profiles in my software by simply punching in the dmx info.
If you daisy chain them they will go in sync with each other.
Yes u can master/slave them
Do you turn the power off at the switch when done with show? Or, keep them on black-out fan running for a few minutes to cool the light inside? Or what do you do?
I usually have them on in a static position when the party is over and turn them off when most guests leave or the house lignt are up.. Then switch them off. Never noticed them being hot.
I just purchased a couple of these lights. If you don't mind me asking which DMX controller are using for them? Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching. I am currently using Chauvet Xpress
I have a question for you. I have some Shehds lights (18x18w RGBWA+UV) and here's the problem. If I try to control the strobe via DMX, using a software or a controller it doesn't matter, the light just shut down while the value is being changed. So no way to slowly increase or decrease the strobe, and the strobe has precedence over any other functions. See the problem here? When I try to do animations from a preset that contains strobe to another preset that doesn't, I can't fade from preset A to preset B over a period of time, which has always been possible, even with the cheapest lights. I don't know if I express myself correctly. Does your light act the same way? While you move the strobe slider, the light is like waiting for the value to stop before executing the new strobe speed.
I will have to try this out next time I have them out. I will try to report back.
Make a middle-stop cue to bring the strobe channel value to 0, over 1 millisecond. Record all other channel values the same, and then record your fade out/in
What do you think of the Shehds 275 I’m on the fence for them or the 230 I just can’t tell what’s better about the 230 since it’s slightly more expensive.
Hi, I have a 7r here from another company that I have not tested yet(should be very similar) so I will let you know soon. I have done a video on the 275 and i really like it, but is pretty heavy to be moving around for regular mobile gigs. I am just confused because when I check out the prices the 275 is more expensive than the 230 on their website. Also both currently on sale.
@DJ Kris Szanto have you had any issues with using dmx with the 275 10r ?
Hey, I wanted to asj for an update on how these lights are holding up? Is the build quality still solid? Any changes or malfunctions with the lights at all?
Thanks for watching the video. I have only had them out about 5 times at this point. (Used them on Friday night) I have been transporting them in the boxes they came in, storing them in my freezing garage and so far, so good.
@@KrisSzanto do you have any problems right now or had any with these fixtures
@@daanwelkenhuyzen4382 I have had very good luck so far. :)
I use to run a small production company and I could never get away with using China lights. Plus they usually have small issues and problems with them. If you're a DJ or someone that doesn't work with production company's, you're probably fine using them for the price. You get what you pay for. I've learned that. I did use some china lasers before but I had to be slick about it.
Noting your review was from a while ago, how have they performed over time?
Rocking just fine.
@@KrisSzanto Thank you for the quick reply! Fantastic!!
using these to wash the room, would my chauvet fx2 even be necessary?
Thanks for watching. Your fx2s will wash the room better as it provides more varied angles of light. These work pretty well for tall venue spaces, not as well for shorter ones as the light source is all from one location opposed to the different degrees you have with the fx2. Hey... nothing wrong with having both. Lol
Im a bedroom DJ and host small events with friends. I planing to buy 2 x moving heads but not sure what brand to go with. Looking at 70W Orbit moving heads now. Would you even think about buying this without a DMX controller ??
Hi, thanks for watching. I personally am not a big fan of any of them without using dmx control. I havent used orbits so I cant speak for those. If you do decide to get a pair without using dmx, I would suggest seeing if they offer a slow mode, adjustable sound active and possibly a totem mode or mode to limit movement to 180 or 90 degrees. The movemet limit is the least common. I would also suggest at least having an easy way to turn the lights off and on. Hope this helps.
@@KrisSzanto Thanks for taking your time to answer. Guess i have much more to learn before i buy anything. And i understand that a DMX controller will be handy.
@@theaverageguy3884 Alot of the lights allow you to access auto modes from DMX too. So even if it is a small controller and you know little to start this would allow you to at least turn them off without powering them off which can be beneficial. There are some controllers that are making this easier, but it all depends on how much you want to spend and how much control you want.
@@KrisSzanto thanks again 😊
@@theaverageguy3884 definitely recommend the mydmxgo or light rider! They’re really easy to program and I enjoy it when I’m using it
Which software did you use for dmx control?
Thanks for watching. I have used 3 different controllers with these lights. Blizzard Eclipse, Wmx1 and Chauvet Showexpress. Currently using Showexpress and think it will be my only choice.
Sweet which dmx controller did you use ?
Thanks for watching. I use a dmx program called Eclipse from Blizzard Lighting. Thinking about changing next year. What do u use?
@@KrisSzanto did you use the SSL2 file from them on their website? best i can tell when importing it into LightKey the file is nowhere close to the actual fixture. i requested LightKey to build a file for me from the pdf DMX channel listing in the manual?
@@dallasmuzikboy I manually enter them from the pdf into my dmx software. As with most of the lights I get, these profiles are not "popular" I guess. But my software makes this process pretty easy. 🙂
Hi! I want to buy 10R beam, but i’m not decide to buy 6 pcs or 4 pcs and 2 pcs this wash. I want to use at the weddings.I see 10R have wash mode. What do you think? Thanks!
Thanks for checking out the video. I would definitely add 2 of these for weddings. I like the 10r, but they are much heavier and produce small, tight images. Personally, I prefer something with larger gobo images for weddings, but that's me.
@@KrisSzanto thanks for response! I was thinking of putting 6 beams, and using two with the wash function..
@CristianSecui I undesrtand. Using the frost filter is ok. But, with these you would have the flexibility of color mixing and zoom. The 10r is a fixed wash size. These would allow you to control the width of the wash where the 10r will not.
@@KrisSzanto thanks for all information! But wich movinhead you recommend? Beam or Led spot?
@CristianSecui I like your idea of a couple of each. But it all depends how you are using them. Can you use haze? (The beams work best when you can see the beams)
How loud are the fans?
After a minute or two of warm up they are not an issue at an event. Had them out twice this weekend. :)
how quick are their movements? is it comparable to briteq washes?
Thanks for watching, I am sorry I am not familiar with briteq.
The movements aren’t very fast. The Briteq washes are probably much better from what I’ve seen, but I’m not sure.
@@croissantproductions So, I just did a quick search of the briteq bt-orbit which looks very similar... it is priced at 1,400-2,487€ or £ s which would be about the same US or more. The Shehds are currently $227. So are the Briteq's 7-10 times better? Specs look like same power, leds and zoom. Just cant find any mention of the pan and tilt degree of thr Briteqs. So for my money, 2 shehds and the flight case and I would still have money left compared to price of 1 Briteq. 😁
@@KrisSzantoI’ve had a chance to see both of these in person and the briteqs are brighter and are faster, but I don’t think it’s worth the money when these are in market
Warranty is a trade offf though
Thx 4 the suffort loko
How long did they come in from ordering
Hi, thanks for watching. It depends if they are shipped from China or the US. If US just a couple of days. If by sea from China I would guess 4 weeks.
zoom i s what channel..... most of us only have 16ch control,,,, unless u can recommend cheeep 24ch controller
These work on 16ch as well. The main thing that u will lose is controlling each ring of lights separately.
What do u for parts
And repair
Hi, I did have a little flicker that was hardly noticeable on occasion in one of the lights. I sent them a video of what was going on and they diagnosed the problem and sent me a replacement part. Has only happened in 1 of 7 lights. But the problem was so small that I havent event fixed it yet. Lol
@@KrisSzanto sounds good but i have bad luck so i have to stick with adj and chauvet. they both have warehouses on each coast. But to save money you have to sacrifice something. Thanks!
@@oldschooldjernie I get it. Thanks for checking out the vid. 👍
Hi how much where they I must get some

@@KrisSzanto sweet thaank you very much keep up the brilliant work
are these master/slave DMX capable?
Yes they are. You just have to put the connected light in dmx mode at ch001. I didnt know that when I shot the video. 👍
@@KrisSzanto sounds great, I just ordered a pair!
@@dippo_13 did you by chance use the link I provided?
@@KrisSzanto yessir. I’m almost certain I did :)
@@dippo_13 thanks for letting me know. Also, please let me know what you think when you get a chance to try them out. 👍

Standard Edison plug to powercon.
Can i have a discount coupon for this?
I would give it to you if I had such a thing. These are so affordable already. 🙂
Nice! But I don't know why they have to put the lable "LED" on their lights.
That's like writing the word "car" on the side of a vehicle.
It's pretty obvious what it is, and some of their lights look super tacky with that on them.
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I am not sure. But there are plenty of non-led fixtures still being sold.
@KrisSzanto Yes, that makes sense, I guess.
Thanks for the review, but that darn seisuze inducing strobing on all the built in modes is a deal killer.
This is pretty normal for most fixtures unfortunately. Thats why I prefer to dmx them.
@@KrisSzanto i'm with you. i haven't seen many fixtures that don't strobe on auto mode.
The fact that there’s no master Slave mode is a bummer
There is a master slave mode. Just have to know how to do it. ( i didnt at the time) The fixture you wish to slave is to be set in dmx mode address 001. That's it
@@KrisSzanto what’s the master need to be set to? Wouldn’t master be set at 1, slave would be 9,17 or whatever DMX channel numbers u have? If it’s doable, then these are definitely an option!
@chrisattiliis3705 if the first light is in auto... then the slaved light in dmx mode 001. If you had the Master set to dmx it would be expecting to receive a dmx signal and if you were sending dmx to it then you would simply duplicate the same address on the second fixture.
