Thanks for the review! I just ordered this in addition to my current set up. Looks good on your review and I can’t wait to get mine! Cheers!
Let me know what you think and thanks for checking it out!
Did you receive them and are you from the US? I’ve been seeing more than just a few bad reviews about Tom top (the website) and am curious if it isn’t a scam
So far I’m impressed with the motor speed and brightness. I’d love to see an example of the dimming curve.
Thanks I needed to see this
I love your videos! thnks for the great info!!!!
Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback.
I like my lixada moving heads ! Nice video !
Good to hear!
I have the “Uking” version, they’re the exact same light and for the price they’re ok, I just use them at home but they do the job. Cool video thanks.
those are pretty good lights. I owned a couple of chinese moving heads before, the only downside is that there is no way to control the pan and tilt range on the unit without DMX. This means the light will spin all the way around and half the time will point the beams behind towards you, or the wall behind you. Great if you use DMX or post them on the speaker pole. Sold them and got the ADj Focus Spot 3s since I dont lile dealing with dmx
Yes sir. You are correct. But DMX is sooo much better. Lol. Thanks for watching.
Hi do ever use the dmx512 to plug the cable into the moving head because everytime when i plug it in its not doing anything to control it its still nothing.
Awesome review I would like to see how you mount them also did the mount you have for them come with or what are you using.
Thanks for watching. Sorry for the delayed response, I missed your comment. The hanging bracket is included but I usually add an O'clamp.
thanks!
Great review! Do you think that these can be hung upside down? Looking to add some moving lights for our small church. Thank you!
Absolutley, that is the way they are meant to be used. :)
Awesome review and description of this light! One question though. What speaker pole clamps are using to mount the light to the pole?
Im not sure which ones I have at this point, just look up O clamps in lighting or music. You just want to verify the diameter of your speaker poles or light stand. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@KrisSzanto I found some ty for your help!
Could these be used as a lead singer spot light for small rooms? I would place them close to the stage on a truss.
Thanks! Enjoying all of the videos.
The beam might be kind of tight. About 6ft circle at 30ft. At 17ft I believe I measured around 47". If that size spot would work for you it will also depend how bright you want someone, it won't be super bright but would brighten someone up. Will also depend how dark the venue is. Maybe I will do a short clip on it.
I love doing best bang for your buck videos how tall is the light. I just subbed how often do you upload?
Thanks for checking it out and Subscribing. The are approx 11x10x8 inches... small. :)
I do not have a set time to post at this point. I am going to hope to put 1-2 vids out a month to get started. Between gig logs, gear and help if desired. 🍻
@@KrisSzanto cool thats about what i would like to do i have a lot of gigs coming up thanks for responding.
I’m very interested in picking up a pair of these moving head lights. But I believe 99% of the time the application I would want to use them in would be solid colors, not hobos, stationary and moving. Would you recommend these for that use?
If you are to control them through dmx the y would work like that. Depends on the effect you are looking for. There are 8 colors and the beam/spot effect is pretty good.
is there a way to not have the flower design etc in sound active mode? also is there tilt pan inversion setting without dmx controller?
Sound active will show all gobos. As far as inverting the pan and tilt if I am understanding the question correctly yes. ie.... if you have 2 you can make them go opposite directions.
Is it sensitive to higher pitches? I have some other lighting that i personally believe it works nicer to the beat of the lower frequencies. Can you adjust the voice activated sensitivity?
Usually it is the lower... i will gave to get back to you. I only use on occasion with dmx. I have it in storage during covid I believe you can but I am pretty sure it was still to sensitive for my taste. I think most of us have the lights to close to our sound systems for most of them to work properly. (My experience)
I bought 2 of the tomshine 60w led par moving head its bright and great for the price. I need to learn how to DMX what controller do you suggest? Good video keep it up.
Thanks for watching. I have a beginner dmx video on the page. I would suggest a software based program. There are a number of them and I really only know the one I use but will probably be looking into a new one that will work with Virtual DJ. (Mine will not)
@@KrisSzanto Hey chris do you have a number for their new jersey location. i bought the moving head but fedex say they have it and they are returning it to the shipper. i need to get in touch with them so they can stop the return.
@@carlosbernard700 I'm sorry.. I have only dealt with people online and havent had any problems. Check with them online.
Quick question, do you know which preset is the right one for this fixture on my dmx go?
I am sorry Angel, i would guess you would have to manually enter it. I do not own my dmx go. Refer to the manual and check the dmx channel info. Good luck.
Love this video man
Question what did you use to mount the heads
Thanks for watching. Just look up O-clamps. Make sure you know the diameter of your stand or truss.
Thank you
Great review! What Dmx software/hardware do you use?
I use a program called Eclipse from Blizzard Lighting currently.
hi bought these struggling to make the fixture do you have the fixture file for DMX?
Hi, sorry I do not. You have the manual? Use the dmx info in there to add to your system.
Thank you for reviewing this Amazing light.
I got a pair of these in 2017 and mostly use them in Master/slave mode, also have tried a 512 dmx controller. They have been set-up in every possible way. The best results being flat on table or on speaker stands like you have them. The worst for Me has been upside down on a T-stand. They seem to just point to the ground or the wall behind me, i think better DMX knowledge on my part could probably fix that.
So after 3 yrs. of normal use only one has a slight blur to the gobo, the other is perfect.
Hey, thanks for the feedback and for watching. I am happy to hear of your good experience. And yes... I would lean you into more dmx if you do alot of lighting. Especially software based because you can really narrow the range you want them to work in. 👍
Do you need program it on the computer? Or can you adjust everything on the light for simple movements
It does have auto programs and voice control (sound sctive). But it will strobe and spin all the way around in these modes. No way to limit movement without using a dmx controller or software.
thanks for the video, I had two of these and they don't last. The color wheel In both got miss aliened and the head moving started make a lot of noise. you get what you pay for.
Thanks for watching. How long did you have the lights when u noticed this start happening? I have not had this problem but do only use the light occasionally.
@@KrisSzanto I use my lights about 3-4 times a month, it was about 6 months into it when I saw the color wheel move over. I tried to adjust but keeps coming back to two colors.
Hello,
Do you think other moving heds from China like the 60 watt Version are the money worth too. Because the lixad is too dank for me.
Im not sure what you mean. You do not lile this particular light? Or just not the manufacturer?
Hi Kris!! Can you tell me how do you control your lights? I use a dmx board, but some dmx software seems to be better. Thanks
Hi Leo! Thanks for checking out the video. I use a program called Eclipse from Blizzard Lighting.(I mention it in most of the lighting videos) I am contemplating updating to newer software based option. I just have not decided on one yet.
@@KrisSzanto ok....thanks.!!!
Hi, what DMX program did you use to control the lights and did you use then under U 'King or Stage Lighting?
Thanks for watching. I typically use "eclipse" by Blizzard lighting. I manually entered the info from the manual, creating the profile myself.
Can you use it without DMX kinda on a auto mode?
Yes, this has auto and sound active modes. You can not limit the movement and it will occasionally strobe.
What program did you use to control the light from your computer?
I use software from Blizzard Lighting called Eclipse. There is a number of dmx software programs out there. This is the first one I have owned, been using it for a number of years.
How tight does the spot get from 30'? I'm lighting a podium but dont want to light the stage. How has it held up a year later? Great video!
Same question on my mind too :)
Hey, sorry for the delayed response. I actually wanted to get them out and try it for you. at 30 feet you are going to be around a 6ft spread. probably just a little bigger. 17ft = was 43" I really have not used the light alot because i only have one of them. 2 of them would make more sense. I have had great luck with the 4 in 1 and use them all of the time (for clients that dont want to spend more on lighting) and they have worked great for 2 years now. Also for the amazing price that they are right now they are a win win! Hope this helps and thanks for watching. :)
@@KrisSzanto Thanks for your time with this response.
@@KrisSzanto this is the response i was hoping for. I have seen a few purchases (verified even) where more than a few users wrote that they had engines misallign and also stop working completely. I wonder if they were just mistreating the units or unlucky.
One Question: Is the Tilt 200°(Pointing a little bit down to the floor) or just 180° (Straight)? Cant find an Info anywhere. Thanks!
540 - 180 as mentioned at 5:17. :) It is also listed in the link above that I listed for purchase. I do wish they pointed down a little bit but I have used it mounted sideways and have liked it that way. I just noticed they were on sale again too. Amazing deal! If I knew when this Pandemic would end I would probably pick up a couple more... Stay safe and Healthy.
@@KrisSzanto Thanks!
Can you hang these completely upside down on a lighting stand?
Yes, of course.
Hi Kris. Is there a carrying case for these? Also are you still satisfied with the them?
I am very happy with the fixture. I have not purchased a bag for them yet. I would suggest looking at soft sided cases from arriba, adj or chauvet. There are cases for mini movers, just check the measurements. I dont believe the light manufacturer itself offers a case for them.
I put 2 side by side in a ADJ Par light bag.
Are you able to adjust the zoom at all on this light?
No, just the focus which has a little effect on the beam width.
How do I keep them from rotating? I would like them to stay facing forward
They have set patterns, so only in DMX can you position them to stay straight.
Hi there, is it still working ok now? Cheers
I do not use it often, but still working
I recently buy the model 120 watts ZQ-B54E I wondering if you can help me under what model I need to add the lights from the fixtures library in my DMX software?
SIND: ?
SHND: ?
BIND: ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Thanks for watching. I am not sure what software you use or what light. Sometime you just have to manually enter the profile into your software. Or you may be able to contact the maker of the software and have them add it.
@@KrisSzanto thanks for the rapid response the brand is U’King and I use MyDMX Go software. MyDMX has many profiles of U’king but none of which I picked control my lights.
@@charlieboypro i think there is an online software that allows you to create a profile. Sorry I am not sure, i have never used the program. You can always reach out to adj.
@@KrisSzanto thank you very much bro I find the way to configure it, I will send the settings I’m use.

Is the cat included? Lol. Great review.
Uhm.. no. Lol
You mention that you can adjust Mic sensitivity... can you elaborate on that for me please ?
You can adjust the mic sensitivity... you can increase or limit the amount of sound entering the device. This would theoretically allow you to dial in the amount of sound the mover hears so that it will only move during a louder part of a song like the kick drum or loud beat. Most fixtures have this ability, but in my opinion none of them work great. I Rarely use lights in sound active because they are typically to sensitive no matter what I do...but I do keep my lights real close to my system. If further away they all work a bit better.
@@KrisSzanto thanx for the quick reply.
@@DJGLOOR666 Hope it helped
@@KrisSzanto it did thank you :) will go with a USB to DMX controller with sound recognition instead. the mics are just not sensitive enough for my little apartment. can't play loud enough .
I can't seem to get these lights to work with my Elation M-touch
Any luck? They work with my controller and software just fine. Just double check some of the parameters. Some of the channels often have multiple functions.
@@KrisSzanto ok cool I'll try and get back to you. Thanks for the reply.
Not sure how to get these lights to work with sound mode
Menu then click Enter until you get to "Snd", click "Enter" again you'll see "off", once more to "On" click Enter one again, it should blink On. Now your in sound mode
Can it zoom bigger and smaller sizes
No, it does not have a zoom function.
How to slow down the gobo and colour wheel?
Hey Jamagic, thanks for checking it out. Are you trying to slow it down in auto modes or with DMX?
@@KrisSzanto like your videos. in auto modes. With dmx dont trying yet. Do you have some ready shows maybe to share?
@@JamagicVlog Hey buddy, I'm not sure what you mean about the shows? The only thing I think you can do to slow it down in auto modes is to turn off sound mode. Let mw know if that helps.
@@KrisSzanto I mean ready-made shows, e.g. for dmx freestyler programs
@@JamagicVlog I have many presets in my DMX software, but i use a program called Eclipse from Blizzard lighting. These types of programs wont really help anyone out unless you use the same thing. You will get a glimpse of it in my next video. I create so many small cues for it as every room is different. I usually set up programs for where the door is for entrances, center of the dance floor and a backdrop of sorts.
I love this light, and the motor speed is fast, but sometimes it goes too fast and and I have to recalibrate it. I don’t know if this happens to anybody else, but it’s the worst when I mount it upside down
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting. I have not heard of this problem yet. I will keep an eye on mine when I use it. Thanks for the heads up.
Hello! Very good review! I have one question: are you hungarian? I was looking at your name and this question popped up in my mind.
Lol... yes my last name is Hungarian.
DJ Kris Szanto cool!
How can you tell if a moving head sitting up right will go down to the dance floor before purchasing.
Thanks for watching. Chrck out the degree of pan and tilt. Pan (left/right) is usually around 1.5 revolutions (540 degrees) Tilt will be at least 180 degrees which will point straight ---- the higher this degree angle is the more it will tilt down. Look at this diagram let me know if you understand. You also have to take into consideration how high you have the lights and how far from the area u want to light is. images.app.goo.gl/zecXwFtXDQdLkLT97. For instance a chauvet intimidator spot 300 will tilt 270 degrees. Now that does not mean it will point straight down, but have 270 degrees of motion so it will point down to about 225 degrees on that chart
Huge thanks for the response sir please keep up the great content
@@thestarvingdjs No problem, hope that it is understandable. I got a little wordy there. Lol
Are they still working?
Thanks for watching. I really like the light, but do not use it regularly. I have a few people in the comments that have used them for a couple years without problems.
Does this have split colors?
No it does not. Thanks for checking it out
just ordered 2 for $59 each. nuts
Awesome! Let us know what you think.
They just let me know that they r stocked up in the US at that price. Also they have the 70w 4 in 1 for even less. :)
@@KrisSzanto just wanted to come back and say that these lights are absolutely awesome. I purchase some stands to put them on and run them in my DJ setup at home using Soundswitch and they rock
@@djnaydee awesome, thanks for sharing.
Are they still going okay? Cheers
Thanks for watching. Mine is still working great. I do not use it that often at this time, but when I have its been a champ.
Can you have it one a simple color and no design?
If you are using dmx control you can choose the gobo and color from color wheel. I assume you are talking about just a spot.
Can you set it to just face the crowd
Thanks for checking it out. I was not able to find a setting that would keep it pointed in any particular direction in the settings. I do wish more lights had that option...but there is always DMX
Man if only they made cheap DJ scanners
I have the adj inno pocket scans... they are ok, but when all is said and done I so much prefer moving heads. The extra range of movement comes in handy for me. The super fast movement of scanners is cool though.
Has anyone had problems not get full gobo pattern
Thanks for watching. I have not personally had any problems with the light at all.
@@KrisSzanto Thank you sir !
@@jasonevans6338 Sir? Lol. No problem. 🎤🍻🎧
Why that adres?
Hi, if you are referring to why I used the dmx address I used, it was just because that was the next open channels I had available in my dmx universe.
I was excited when you said they are under $75, but now they are $155. That kinda sucks.
Yeah, thanks for watching. They were running a ton of specials when i did this. Hopefully the world gets back to normal.
They now go for 150ish. Gues the price went up a bit ...
Well... that was a long time ago. Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🤷♂️ Still a good value.
1:40 👈 efficiency
Thanks for watching. Not sure I know what you're referencing.
Simply skipping the extracurricular fluff.
I got 2 for $60.89 each on eBay .
Wow, that's an awesome deal
For a second I thought you were Pete tong
I do not know who that is.
DJ Kris Szanto it a famous British dj
DJ Kris Szanto google bbc radio one Pete tong
the led is about 13 watt
It is listed at a 25 watt led I believe.
@@KrisSzanto i took it apart and measured it
Don't deal with TomTop. I purchased two of these lights for $79 each. One of them started smoking when I plugged it in. After two weeks of communication, a request for photos of the item, then a video of it not working; TomTop is only offering me $20 for what they call "My Loss'. The company seems to be based outside of the US so I might be out of luck.
I am really sorry to hear this. I have not had any problems to date. Let me try to reach out to someone.
Well they’re $150.00 now.
Still a good deal at 150. I haven't heard any sales on them lately. Thinking shipping cost got so crazy that they cant do it.
Dang out of stock ☹
These are no longer “under $100”….. they are $154.00
It happens.
The tomtop website has the worst reviews I have ever seen and every legitimate review site says it is a scam.........
Hi Angel. I am not sure what reviews you are speaking about from "legitamate sites"? What do they say is a scam? (please share) I live in the US and I have had nothing but good luck with purchasing items from there. Everything delivered quicker than I expected and in great condition. Are there items that come from that huge site with bad reviews? I am sure that there are, just like any other. Plenty of bad reviews on Amazon too. If I ever have a bad experience purchasing gear I will be sharing it.
DJ Kris Szanto I took your word and ordered four gobos from TomTop via PayPal and I will see how and when they arrive... where’s the best place to buy dmx cable so I can hook them up in master slave mode?
@@AOAvina which lights did you buy? Some of the lights have a small dmx cable with them... some do not. I would wait to see. As far as the best place to get them I am not sure. I often price shop so depnding on length you want and how fast you want them, I would just search online. They tend to last so I have not purchased any in years, last time I ordered many was from NLFXpro.com.
DJ Kris Szanto I got this lixada 8 gobo rgbw-512 mini moving head led stage light
Also, how long does it take them to process?
