I'm so excited... I just ordered 8 of them, and they'll be here in two days. I'll fire them all up and give a review and some pictures as soon as I can...
Kewl, Tyrone! I saw the on-line video, looks like a great fixture. You can also access stand-alone under DMX control for us lazy guys... If you could review the stand-alone mode too it would be appreciated!

Wait Chris...
With a list of vehicles your folks are having you choose from... I want to be in YOUR will.
I keep telling my wife that if I die (and I will), she'll have a lot of work to get rid of all my "stuff".

It appears to have...
...some very nice stand alone modes. I'm still reading the manual, but it appears to have at least 16 different "auto/sound" modes. There is a sensitivity knob on the back, and they can be hooked up in master/slave.
It appeared to be very user friendly when not using DMX control. So, you sound active only guys/gals will like this fixture.
There are four main modes:
"Auto mode", where it can run stand alone or master/slave with any one of the 16 sound modes selected.
"DMX mode"... when hooked up to a controller. You can use a 6, 9, 15 and 27 channel selection, which allows you to control all of the different light sections on the display. In order to control all 8 sections, you must be in 27 channel mode... but with the standard DMX controller, you can very easily use the 15 channel selection.
"Strobe mode" can be selected ONLY when in stand alone mode.
"Auto run delay mode" when the unit is not being triggered by sound...
The display has 8 different sections that can be individually accessed in DMX mode (or in auto sound mode in one of the 16 different modes). This is accomplished when in 27 channel mode. NOTE: in order to use all 27 channels, you have to "cheat" with your controller (as stated in my book). I don't recommend this mode for a novice...
The 15 channel choice seems very nice, being able to access four of the color sections of the display. This 15 channel mode is easy to use with any standard 12 fixture controller and will allow you to use 24 of these fixtures in individual control.

Tyrone can you take some pics from the side and back as well as will the mounting bracket....trying to get an idea as to the thickness.
How is the brightness - compared to a Weidamark par?

Tyrone, will it automatically go into stand-alone sound- active mode if no DMX signal is present?
Thanks for all the great photos! Any chance of getting a short video clip of it running sound-active? Don't worry, I'm going to build a new case which will have room for my DMX board...

Last question Tyrone....will the mounting bracket swing to the top or below to mount abive or below a T bar?

Yep...
The mounting bracket will swing all the way up or down to the edge of the fixture. You can see it all the way down in the second picture.

The video is going to take a while...
I'm headed to the hospital in 6 hours for surgery on my shoulder. I'm not going to be doing much of anything for several days...

Got to see these pups in action today, they are very cool, but I'm not going to be purchasing. Too much like eye candy, not enough coverage to make me go out and get them. For the price, they are great, especially for a wedding light show, but for larger shows, they just don't put out enough light. Now the Colorado series, that is another whole ballgame
the coverage is awesome on the units for what you pay...
i now have 24 of the units and want more...
i rent them out at $40 each and most people take 4 at a time for a small gig..
the return on money is awesome!
same with vue 3s... got 8 of them ad can't keep them in the shop at $45 each
