    Thanks, Joe! These are legit. We own a case and I've been super impressed. We have Astera and Ape Labs too and these have fit in perfectly for our teams who are just getting going and smaller crowds/ budgets. Nice work!

      Hey Daryl, I have tried these direct from the manufacture. Although they aren't super bright and don't have DMX, I think they are still great lights for the price. The remote works great on them and they've been reliable so far. Perfect for plug and play DJ's that don't wanna mess with DMX.
