American DJ Stinger vs Stinger II Comparison (programmer's perspective)
In this video I'll be comparing the difference between the Stinger and Stinger II 3-in-1 lighting effects from American DJ. If your looking into these lights and are wanting to control them with DMX, I cover those differences here. What do you think of ADJ's Stinger II? Would you buy the first Stinger or the second one?

    Thank you; I've been wondering about the difference between fluorescent and LED black lights, and this kind of objective, scientific approach is exactly what was needed to clear up the matter. Btw, is "ambient" just another term for light in the visible spectrum, or would it be more accurately applied to light that leaks into the area from sources other than those being tested?

    FINALLY. Thank you for clarifying things so clearly and succinctly! I suspected LED UV lights produced tons of spurious visible light, but could not discern this by reading product specs or user reviews. I bet most young'uns happy with LED UV lights simply have no clue that the entire point of "UV magic" is to make things light up brightly in otherwise pitch black surroundings.

    • @nateslighting
      @nateslighting 6 місяців тому

      It does make a little noise because of the little fan in the front cooling the laser diodes. I would compare it to the noise of a laptop fan on medium speed. Unless you get one that has a failing fan and it's whining loudly, I don't see you having a problem with noise in a theatre application.

    Thanks. Cool quick summary & proves old school lights are superior. I purchased for my 10 year old niece some fluorescent paint & told her about how we loved the fuzzy posters back in the 70's. Now have to figure out if there is a way to use black painted cloth paper to "practice" techniques before graduating to canvas.

Glad to see some people still use old CDJs too, that stuff was built to last!

  • @Grafzaaiers
    @Grafzaaiers 11 місяців тому

    Ridiculous comparison to be honest. Both clearly emit different wavelengths of light. If you want to make a valid comparison into which emits less visible light you should obviously use the same wavelength to begin with since a higher wavelength on the spectrum will always equal more visible light.

    • @nateslighting
      @nateslighting 11 місяців тому

      I see your point, but what UV LED fixtures use the proper wavelength in the DJ lighting market today? Most all of them use the same higher 395nm wavelength. That comparison was not the point of this video. It was to show the difference between mainstream UV "blacklight" LED fixtures vs the true fluorescent blacklights. I'm not discrediting your point on wavelength as it is valid and I would love to see DJ lighting manufacturers start using the proper wavelength for their blacklights. I have yet to see that go mainstream, and when hopefully that time comes, I may make a followup video in the future.

  • @djjakobofficial
    @djjakobofficial 11 місяців тому

When I turned it ON for 5 min, then normal white led light, the white light was looking more yellower light for few minutes, then to white light. Did it affect eye badly ? Any potential eye /skin damage from using F40T8/BLUE tube light ??

    Hello, I am doing a special project for myself right now of building a creator/gaming desktop PC. It us the first PC I have built since the Windows 98/XP days. It is getting a custom water cooling loop (a first for me) and I am going for a 60s/70s retro rave/hippie/trippy/disco aesthetic. The case and fans are pink and some parts are white. I am looking to purchase a small usb powered “glass tube fluorescent bulb” type of light to really send the look into orbit…..anyone know where I can find that type of case lighting device? I have been searching online everywhere but all I can find are those cheap dip dot looking LED strips which I don’t like the “dotty” effect it casts, I like the smoothness of a traditional bulb. All suggestions are appreciated.
