  • I picked up these mini moving heads a couple of weeks ago and thought they were worth sharing. This is an unboxing and review of the LIXADA 7x10W RGBW LED MOVING HEAD FIXTURE. As a mobile dj I am always looking for something to add to my show. I had seen these on a pop-up add and thought for 50US during a FLASH sale that I needed to try them. Here is what I found! :)

    Bro! I had this type of light for YEAAAAAAAAAAARS!! Mine looked exactly the same but were by Stage Ape Lighting. These lights were super cheap but damn, probably some of the best lights I have owned. Super bright and lasted me for a good 6 years no problems at all. I think DJ MoJO here on youtube uses these still! Good buy especially when you have them DMX'd up!

    I like these and the video is a good showing of how they work. 1 question; when you have them connected through DMX, do they have the same rest point. What I mean is when the bases are facing the same way and you have pan at the same setting, do they point in same direction? So you could have them all do the same thing in the same pattern. Thanks, great vid!

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  5 років тому

    Are the dimmer and strobe channels separate? Meaning is there 1 dmx channel just for dimmer, and another dmx channel just for strobe? I want to be able to strobe the fixture, and then be able to dim that strobing effect.

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  6 років тому

      The Dimmer and Strobe are on the same channel. I think the only way to achieve the effect you are mentioning would be to dim the actual color channels while strobe is on. If I get a chance I will try it out.

      They aren't bad... a little wine and fan noise. Nothing out of the ordinary. I was using uplights for studio lights each of those have a fan. So the shotgun mic picked up a lot more than there is. If you watch the off topic ring light video I do you can hear the difference. Lol. Lights have held up. Still using them almost every other weekend. Couldn't be happier at that price. :)

      @@KrisSzanto Yes they are still going strong. The only downside is that if you set them on (fast mode) or (slow mode) they will strobe a lot and this lools terrible. Set them on (sound active mode) for best results. The only thing is they are not very responsive to sound unless it is really loud or feel vibrations. This is why now I set them on the speaker tripod so they feel the vibrations better. I upgraded to ADJ Focus Spot 3z Pearl, but still plan on using these on the tripods to compliment the lightshow.

    How do you change different sound active modes?

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  5 років тому

      I believe there is only 1 sound active mode. There area couple of auto modes and you can limit the pan and tilt as too not keep flashing in your face. As I state in the video, I do not like auto modes on pretty much any fixture that will strobe and this is no exception. I prefer to DMX and program the color changing and stay away from strobing. Here is a fixture pdf which should help you navigate the the menu on the fixture. Let me know if you have any further questions. downloads.monoprice.com/files/manuals/612870_Manual_170822.pdf

    Is this as easy as using a female to female cables?

    • @KrisSzanto

      I am a bit confused... there is an input and output? 1 for each and they are correct. Female cable for the input.... female receptor on the fixture is the output.

    • @djscrizzle

      Gender absolutely doesn't matter on these lights. The 2x 3pin XLR connectors are soldered to a small PCB, then the DMX data leaps off this asembly, to the rest of the light via a lil 3 pin header ribbon cable.

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  5 років тому

      The sound active mode would be to sensitive next to a drum kit. Also it will not only change color but pan and tilt as well. The only way this might be possible would be to use a dmx controller and create the chase pattern you wanted and adjust the sound active through the board. But with that being said I am not 100% sure you could get it to work "only" with the beat of a kick drum.

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  5 років тому

      I am not sure in what way you are thinking of using them. As with any moving light fixture it would be hard to follow a person moving around. These have more of a wash effect, not a spot light. Depending how high you have them you could definitely use them to brighten up an area and easily through dmx control the direction and color of the light. But you would have to give me more information to fully answer. :) Hope this helps but please ask more if needed and thanks for checking no out the video.

    I am looking into these light s but saw the same type of lights but a different brand. A few questions:
    1) Do you know the channels for a 9/12 channel fixture?
    2)Are there pre programmed chases?
    3)Can you control rotation speed on an obey 10 to be used for light shows
    4) what software do you use

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  5 років тому

      ALL MY RESPONSES ARE ONLY BASED ON THE LIGHT I HAVE WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO AND KNOWLEDGE I HAVE OF IT.
      1. The manual comes with the channel listings. (for this brand) I can not answer for a light I do not have.
      2. It has auto features both a fast and slow as well as sound active. I feel they all have to much strobe which you can not change.
      3. There is a channel for motor speed. pan/tilt speed and you would be able to control it through DMX on the Obey 10
      4. I use a software from Blizzard lighting called Eclipse. see it HERE>>> amzn.to/2PCk1ua

    I bought 2 of these on ebay. Identical but not "TomTop" - they came with a really handy mini remote... makes setting the best program really easy.
    Wish you could turn off the strobe... it's great but not always wanted.
    There is one automatic mode that doesn't change colours (just moves)
    "Music 2" option works well. Moves really slow when sound is quiet and strobe is interupted making it less OTT

    • @KrisSzanto

      I am not familiar with the units you are speaking about, but in my videos you will note that I am not a big fan of SOUND active for exactly that reason. The random strobe effect can be a real nuisance as well as possibly dangerous to some people at your event. Learn DMX, you will be glad you did. I recently added a basic video on this. :) Let me know if you have any questions.

      I suppose you could do that If wired up and used with DMX. It could be really cool to pre-program some small moves on the walls. I think that it would be alot of work to wire them all together though unless you purchased some wireless receivers and a unit to broadcast your DMX signal. There are some in expensive options to do that. Although I think the final look could be AWESOME, I don't think it would be worth the time unless you had a couple people doing the work with you.

Have had some of my other guys use them as well. I did notice a little motor noise but it goes away after a fee seconds warning up.

With this add on app you can input your own profiles for light rider. :) If you have never created a fixture profile it is as simple as adding the channel information from the instruction manual. ie Channel 1 001-255 = pan Channel 2 001-255 = tilt etc... through all of the channel parameters.

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  6 років тому

      There are automatic modes, sound active, slow and fast. But with most moving fixture, without DMX you can not set one color. They are DMX to allow the flexibility to set the movement, speed, color, and so much more. A lot of mobile dj's do not use DMX but just sound active modes. I suggest against this because sound active modes initiate movement that i think is too fast for alot of moments as well as strobe too much and you have no control. Even an in expensive DMX controller will give you so much more flexibility and programming capabilities.

    You should invest in a cheap mic. Sound quality is terrible. Good review though.

      Thanks for noticing. Lol. That was 2 years ago and it is a decent on camera mic. (Sure) but the room was so small there is alot of fan noise from not only lights, but uplights i used to light myself. I use a lav now and some fanless led lights for studio lighting. Slowly but surely. Thanks for watching again and have a great Holiday.

      I dont know why. I have been using mine for 2yrs now.. read comments of others below. I havent had any of their lights stop working so far. And as I have always stated... for the price they are GREAT!

      @@KrisSzanto yeah bought two to test it.
      Had the same situation with 4k4less was pretty sure i got scammed, was protected via paypal anyways but still. Then it turned out to just be a great deal 🤷‍♀️ So I wrote a positive review on their Better Business Bureau page. If i get my order ill do the same and itll be their only positive one
