  • This is a video showing how to setup a pair or four of these 'cheap' LED mini moving head wash lighting effects from china (Model ZQ-B136) to clone each other as master and slave in a sound to light show or with the built-in programs.
    This requires a DMX cable to link the lighting fixtures together and some settings on the menus to get them going, I explain all these things within this video. If you need any help just comment below and I will try to assist you.
    This works for both sound-to-light and Fast / Slow / Auto built-in shows and can be extended to virtually an infinite amount of lights/fixtures.
    I also go over the pan and tilt inversion settings, used to create a mirror image between different units, and the movement limit settings where you can lock the head into doing a forward facing only show by restricting its pan and tilt movements.
    These heads are UKING branded (Model ZQ-B136) - sold as 105W or 70W RGBW LED Moving Wash effects with 7x 10W LEDs.

    Aaah the reverse thing, FINALLY lol.
    So I want to run say 4 of these with 4 multi colour par cans from a DMX controller.
    Can you leave them in auto mode like this, and just switch them in and out as you are controlling your lights on the fly? You have to be able to, right?

    I have had U’king ones for a few years now. Does anyone know how to turn off the strobe on them? Or if i’m running them DMX will they not randomly start strobing?

      If you are using the latest LM70S model in DMX 9-channel mode the strobing will not occur as long as you do not take the DMX channel above level 135. In 9-channel mode the DMX controller channel 3 operates at these various levels, level 0-8 = Light is OFF, level 8-135 changes the light intensity, level 136-240 activates the strobe and this same level 136-240 range controls the strobe flash speed, level 241-255 seems to vary with firmware versions, mostly likely puts the light on 100% . . . . . but best have a play using a DMX controller and see what happens. Hope that helps a little.

    You do what and press what to make the display read what? Hard to see what you are doing with your camera sitting across the room. Get a zoom lens or move the camera close so dummies like me can see what buttons you press and what display screen reads.

      I do explain it verbally and show you in the video. Understand that I'm just a guy on the Internet making some guide videos in his spare time to help people out..
      I don't even own a camera let alone zoom lenses. All my content is recorded using an old iPhone because that is what I've got.
