A Smart Tin Can

Anonymous 03.04.2014

This can is a great little fixture. In the 15 years I've been doing lighting, I have only even seen this style of par 36 once before (par 36's are normally pin spots used for mirror balls) so when I saw this can style 36, I just had to get a couple.
I live in the UK so had to cut German plug off but that only took 2 seconds so no big deal.

Great output for so few LED's. Light is well made and well designed. You can control the fixture via the dip switch on the back but this is very limited so if you want more than a preset colour, colour scroll or music, you will need a controller.
Comes with gel frame for frost or diffusion filters, which brings me on to the only downside to this light, the colour frame is an octagon instead it square. But that's just me being fussy :P

Bottom line. If you want to add some light to your gigs without spending £100's or £1000's. Get a couple of these with a small controller and you'll be laughing.
I just hope Thomann keep these in long enough for me to buy another 6.

Thanks for the great service again Thormann :D

Good light!

Wal234 07.01.2022

I have had four of these pars for six years, no issues, good light. For a band playing pubs, clubs these will easily do the job. Brighter than you think, good coverage, and rich colors.

Sound to light is not the best, too sensitive, even when at its lowest setting, however, possibly ok in low to medium-level gigs. Use a Dmx controller (it is how you get the best out of these lights) although be aware, ch1 is not Red, many controllers are fixed 1R,2G,3B..... and this light will not work correctly. I use Adj Operator 1 192, there are so many good copies (for not much money) of this unit and give you everything you require.

You may also be interested, four of these on a T bar fit into a padded keyboard bag, perfect for travel, good protection.

LED PAR 36

Ebo555 15.05.2013

These lights were bought as part of a lighting kit and at a total of around £100 for 4 lights and a stand, it was great value.

the lights themselves are of OK quality. They are nice & bright and easy to program. These are used every weekend for band lighting (pubs/clubs) and get transported around in the boot of a car - so far, no issues.

I recommend these lights but you need to understand that they are cheaply made - you're not buying top-of-the-range kit here. For the money, they are well worth investing in, if you are on a tight budget.

Good starter for 10

Anonymous 29.08.2014

Not a bad set of lights. We have a bar of 4, complimented by other lights. Some of the LED groups have failed over time but they've been a good set.

They're really compact, so the light output's not on par with larger cans (pardon the pun) ... but that's what you expect with cans of this size.

All in, worth having ;) great little filler lights.

Just what we needed!

Anonymous 13.10.2016

We have a small village stage and these PARs were just the right mix of illumination and colour in a fairly compact package. The price also appears to be good value for the quality of the fixture.

Very well built, Good light output.

Oscar2383 28.12.2013

These lights are very well built for the price! You can feel the quality of construction when using them. They are made out of metal.
The LEDs have good output, they are great for lighting up discrete/small spaces on stage or even effect lighting. They also come with a gel holder.
The dip switches on the units could be improved as they are a little hard to access.

Close work yes; Wash no.

Bassman Banks 21.04.2014

These fixtures are pretty good for adding a bit of colour to things close to them but are not bright enough to create a stage wash. For example, one either side of a drummer is really quite nice to light up the kit. Control is by DMX or auto settings with address being selected by DIP switch. Mine were supplied with gel frames which I cannot understand as the fixtures are RGB.

Good colours, but not very strong

Anonymous 11.06.2015

I really like the colours in these leds. However, they are a bit weak so I will probably have to buy some more to get the intended lighting I had in mind.

Other than that, they work as a charm. They are now firmly mounted and will not see much travelling, so I can not say anything about how they deal with wear and tear.

Easy as heck to mount and with a good light board you'll be making awesome light shows in no time at all, and as I said earlier, be prepared for a lower amount of light and order more of these lights than you had planned.

cheap light but it is too sensible

Anonymous 10.10.2016

I bought 4 as a part of a set and used them for a few gig's but in my opinion, they are almost unusable without a controller.
I use them on Music mode but in my opinion, this light is too sensible in this mode. Even with the knob on the lowest position, it just goes crazy when the music gets louder and just flashes continuously, at lower db it works fine, it does the job really well.
Good points:
- Cheap price
- Low weight and easy to manipulate
- Great power
Bad points:
- It has no on/off switch
- On music mode it is too sensible when the music get's louder then ~100 db
- Low quality of the materials
