Stairville Led Bar 240/8 RGB DMX 30°

This Stairville LED Bar is fantastic. I use it for many different applications including uplighting internal and external walls of buildings, washing stages and for pixel mapping. This LED Bar works well in all of these situations and performs well. It has many built in programs and chases, which mean that it can easily be plugged into power and used without any DMX programming etc. In these modes, multiple bars can be synchronized together by using Master/Slave.

As well as the built in programs, the Bar can also be controlled over DMX. The onboard screen allows you to choose the DMX address of the fixture as well as choose how many DMX channels you want the bar to use. (2 Channel, 3 Channel, 5 Channel and 24 Channel). I personally always use 24 Channel mode so that I have more control over the bar, however in testing all the others work well.

The position of the IEC In and Out ports on the back of the bar is great. In is on one end of the bar and Out on the other, reducing the mess of cables when uplighting. It would be good if the DMX ports were like this too, instead of in the middle of the bar like they are currently.

Another con is that when using the onboard screen and buttons, the buttons feel quite loose, like they are going to fall off, although if I'm using DMX and have set the address, I don't need to use the buttons to control the bar.

Positives:
I have the ''Stairville Led Bar'' for some time now and I love it.
I use it to my recording studio in the back wall and it really gives a nice smooth brightness to the room.
For the price you paying for the RGB led bar you can adjust a variety of colour which is amazing and what you except from a RGB and also the level of the brightness.Some build in fx like strombling etc. There is a input for dmx control if you have a dmx device mixer which I have no interest for using it but its a good thing that it is there. It comes also with some side metal support so you can hung it in the wall or the ceiling which I don't really know how this is gonna work except you buy a longer power cable.


Negatives:
The build I try not to touch or move it as much as possible because it gives me the impression that it will break up. I would like to have a controller also with it so that I can adjust whenever I want and don't mess with this annoying buttons behind the RGB bar. Some more variety in the colours would be also nice.

Coclusion: If you want something stable for your studio it does what it supposed to do but always think about how big your room is in a smaller room I would suggest something smaller because of the space that it takes.

At this price I am blown away by this light and all it's features! I bought four of these lights in a pack and what a difference they have made to my band's lighting show. The option to choose the DMX Channel mode means it is a versatile fixture. The light comes with two sets of floor stands which are great to use when you want to outline a stage. For the best effect however, I recommend getting some clamps for them and rigging these lights down from a truss in lines. You can create some amazing patterns with the chases and it offers really different lighting looks which will give your stage character. Do not be worried about these lights not being bright enough either! Their colours are rich and the brightness is fantastic. If you cant afford a LED screen with visuals for your band, these LED Bars will do a great job at adding some movement to your backdrop. I will definitely be getting more of these lights in the future! The value for money is outstanding, another high quality and well built product from Stairville, what more could you want?

Bought 2 of these as a set with Stairville carry bag in Spring 2018. Used them several times a year since then and for small gigs the (50 to 300 people gigs) and combined with other stage lights they look absolutely great. Very nice build quality and very versatile with many different auto and manual settings. I usually have them at the back of the stage pointing up to light the backdrop. I set one up as DMX 'master' on the sound activated setting and use a DMX lead to the other which is set to 'slave'. This sync's the lights to work together and is a really good simple effect that works well for me. Could not be more pleased with these and work even better than I expected. My only very tiny issue is that it would be absolutely perfect if they had proper feet each end to stand them on. The metal leg/brackets they came with are ok but I have to be careful to stand and adjust them to be sure the lights don't fall over. They come with 2 different length leg/brackets and are really for fixing the lights to a permanent structure. The lights do stand on these ok though but are not designed specifically for this purpose. A very small issue but that said I would without doubt definitely recommend them. Also if buying a pair of lights I would also recommend the Stairville bag. A quality very good value bag, it has kept my lights looking like almost new. Many thanks Thomann........ Just to add, I unfortunately managed to crack the plastic Plexi lens on one of my lights a few months after getting them. Entirely my own fault. I sent an email to Thomann in the forlorn hope that they could get me a replacement. They promptly replied that they could send me one. I immediately made payment and about a week later my light was as it should be with a new lens. Absolutely great Thomann. Many thanks.
