Will I be able to set these lights with a profile so I can select colors through color picker on an ETC Element 2, or will I need to program colors through individual channels?
A shopper
on Dec 1, 2021
BEST ANSWER: There are preset colors macros on DMX Ch 5 and respond to dimmer on Ch 9, but the dmx chart in the manual doesnt spell out which DMX values on Ch 5 correspond to which color. I have just programmed my own color palletes using the RGBW channels and gotten results I was happier with anyhow.

Yes, you should be able to do that. We do exactly that with our Ion. It should work like any RGBW unit. Color matching to gels will be as close as the unit can make it, which should be pretty close.

How capable is it of producing a warm white?
Anonymous S
on Feb 9, 2017
BEST ANSWER: It has full color mixing capabilities so you can make it pretty much any color you want...very smooth dimmer curves too. We bought a pair to replace a couple of aging Altman incandescents...no regrets and in fact, we're probably going to be buying several more very soon.

It can do a warm white, but you will have to mix the colors along with the white. A couple gotchas with this lights is the master dimmer is on channel 9 so if that is not up the light won't be on, and the lights overheat in any room above 75 degrees, but you can prevent this by adding some usb computer fans to the top and bottom of the lights. Overall for the price the lights are great value for the money (you would be spending $3500+ for equivalents), but they are a little quirky.

When the light is overheat, does it cause any other electrical problem besides just shutting off? I guess it will take an hour or two for it to cool down so you can use it again?
What do you mean by "the lights overheat in any room above 75 degrees"? What do they do, shut down, fail, or flash a warning?
I want to use them on a pipe up in a ceiling over an audience. I expect the temperature can easily be 85 deg. Is adding two fans per fixture necessary or can you fix the thermal issue by just adding one good sized fan.

David O - check to make sure the internal fan is running. I had one from our initial shipment that the fan wasn't running. It's replacement plus the 5 others I've purchased all run cool as can be and we leave them running for as many as 8-10 hours at a time, some well above 75 degree ambient temperature.

Which stand is recommended for this unit?
A shopper
on Nov 26, 2017
BEST ANSWER: These lights will work with any of our lighting stands. As they are on the heavier side you will want to mount close to the stand if you are using the 601800 stand or use two to balance the load. It will work very well with any of the truss systems.

Do the lights come with a mounting clamp?
Carmine I

BEST ANSWER: They do not, there is a mounting hole on the bracket that will allow you to attach whatever mounting clamp you prefer. I would also recommend a safety cable although this is an LED fixture the housing is all metal and has some weight to it.

No the fixture does not come with a mounting clamp. Also the hole in the bracket is a little small for the clamp bolt. You might have to drill out a bit when you get a clamp.

Does the fan run continuously evening when the LED is off (in blackout mode) or does the power have to be switched off at the breaker box to power it down?
Lonnie L
on Apr 21, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Hello, the fan does continue to run with the LED's off. This adds some white-noise to the room and uses power needlessly. So yes, we are popping the breaker when they're not in use. If anyone knows of a way to change this, I too would appreciate being able to program the lights so the fan only comes on when the LED's are being used, if that's possible.

The fan runs continuously when connected to power. I have all my stage lights on breakers and switch the breakers off when not in use. We found a workaround in another room though. I bought a remote controlled outlet and plugged stage lights into there so that I can turn the power on and off with a remote.

BEST ANSWER: My calculation show your distance at 17° will produce a 23' circle on stage. This may be a little too big. You can use the shutters to frame your spot but you may loose a lot of light.
You can use our 200W Ellipsoidal with a 10° lens which will bring you down to a 14' circle.

I am looking for some photometry data. How many lux or foot candles at various distances at various zoom angles. In another post, it was stated that the fixture puts out 4875 lumens? This seems low given that I have 22 watt hardware store LED lamp that says it puts out 2680 lumens.
A shopper
on Aug 2, 2018
BEST ANSWER: 4875 is correct. Pure white bulbs will have a brighter output because they are only producing one color. the reds and blues give you a huge color pallet but sacrifice a lot of output lumens. We are currently working on providing a more complete spec sheet.

Is this light compatible with a 20A 125V Hubbell twist-lock chord?
A shopper
on Mar 10, 2021
BEST ANSWER: These fixtures use NAC3 in and thru connectors for power at the instrument, the other end of the supplied cable is standard u-ground. In a brief search online I couldn't find a twist-lock to NAC3 adaptor. However, there are plenty of u-ground to twist-lock adaptors out there, so it should be possible to go twist-lock to u-ground to NAC3.

Hello, can you set this light to be tungsten?
A shopper
on Oct 9, 2023
BEST ANSWER: The white is not going to look like a tungsten lamp so you will have to do some color mixing. Also, white only will not match the intensity of a 575w bulb. You should be able to come close to getting a good blend of LED and tungsten with these. We bit the bullet and switched to LEDs in one shot for better power distribution and not having to think about mixing color temperatures.

I know these are technically spot-lights, but they work great as stage-lights. I set these up 70' away from a 8'x18' stage and they work great. I plan to get 2 more soon.

Yes. This light is definitely a keeper
These are great! Cost, WOW! Brightness, WOW!. Ease of use and function, WOW!.
Seriously, we have been searching, for a couple years, for the best Zoom Leko for the lowest price and this is it. After a small test order we quickly found that these are, hands down, a better tool for our rental stock for these reasons:
1. these run on 180watts of power. i.e. 8-9 units + on a single circuit!
2. these are brighter than our ETC source four jr. 575watt lekos.
3. these don't have an exterior heat sink. The chassis is cool to touch when on and can be focused without burning your hands. YEAH! Finally.
Yes, the lens is a lenticular "plastic" lens. this helps keep the weight down.
Yes, this unit is BRIGHTER than our 575watt HPL lamps
NO, you wont burn your hands trying to focus it. The LED engine and power supply are housed inside the a metal chassis that is fan cooled and doesn't get too hot to touch.
The control is easy via the on board buttons for manual use or DMX addressing. Simple stand alone use!
The color RGBW feature is awesome and compared to our Source four jr. with a red gel, these are hands down, brighter and smoother.
Also, this unit has a 3200k preset and it matches very well with the 200watt stage right ellipsoidal.
Conclusion. We converted our rental stock to these. Love 'em. We have sold dozens to a local high school. Very, very satisfied
.
We will be buying more!

Decent light
For the money, this is a fairly decent light. Other Pro LED ellipsoidals cost upwards of $2000. We purchased several of these lights to replace 750w Halogen ellipsoidals that were being used as back-lights (traiditonally ellipsoidals with red/blue gels) in a church setting. The light output is probably not up to a 750w light, but maybe more around a 575w halogen. For our purpose, that was fine. It is also not a $2K light.
The light being RGBW is nice. Would like to see Amber tossed in there, but knew going it that this does not include that.
The lighting if colors is nice and clean, no artifacting seen when in use (or staring at the stage floor). The zoom and focus features work just fine. You can blur to sharpen as needed. It also comes with manual shutters for all four sides of the light, and work well.
The light is all metal, and feels decent (sort of heavy as well, surprisingly). The light does have a mount bar, and it is decent, does not bend or warp. We use stage C/pole Clamps and the threading is very tight with the existing hole in the bar. While I did get it "threaded" through the hole, probably would not hurt to drill it out slightly if using a lot of clamps like this.
The unit accepts a POwerCON connector in-and-out. Very nice for daisy chaining power. The power cord comes with a powerCON on one end (blue), and traditional plug (NEMA 5-15) on the other. The light kit comes with the gray PowerCON that you can cut off the traidional plug end and, replace with the gray connector. Keep in mind however, the power cord is failrly short 3 or 4 feet. I purchased same/similar cords on here (At Monoprice) that were 10 feet and 20 feet long. Same thing I needed to cut off the plug end, put the aforementioned Gray plug end onto the cord, and move on. The manual mentions this, and gives a diagram, but it was a but confusing (Google is your friend).
Menu setup for DMX, Master/slave, etc is done via the backlight LCD screen. Nothing of unusual note here, standard setup. There is only a nine channel mode. While fine for us, might be of concern for those with limited boards (8-channel sloution would have been nice).
Packaging of the light was a sturdy box. While you could use it for mobile purposes (road trips), you will want a travel case if you do that a lot.
While I liked everything about the light, and generally happy with it, I had one minor issue. One of the three lights purchased failed in three weeks (unit basically went all white output and did nothing more). Like others has mentioned, my guess would be the unit overheated and the fan failed. I did not spend the time to trouble-shoot to confirm, just sent it back, RMA process was painless. Got a new unit a few weeks later.
The units are only used on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings, so not constantly on. The fan, however, stays on 7x24 (should be thermal instead). The fan is not loud, so no impact thre. The failure of the unit itself, and the constant fan, the product looses one star.

Good colors, easy to program using QLC+ software
The Stage Right 180W COB LED Ellipsoidal is all in all a pretty good light (Can't beat the price for an RGBW Ellipsoidal). The fan on the one I received is quite and I have not had a problem with the light over heating. Focus and zoom are good but does have some soft edges. The one draw back I have is the brightness output of it. Could be the plastic lenses that are blocking the light output a bit. I have a 140 watt Moving Head LED that is brighter on stage than this 180Watt LED but to fair the Moving Head is a single white 140watt LED with a color wheel and not the COB design this light has. I would recommend this light but just a heads up that it is not as bright as you think it would be.

We have a closed ceiling with openings, I'm planning on using these as back light for our musicians and pastor. I tested these on a road trip in a hot gym in Colorado with high school students. They didn't overheat and survived the road trip.

Good Value But Quirky
For the money this light is a winner. However, there are some gotchas. 1. The light overheats. That could be because of a failed internal fan, or just because it gets hot. I solved this problem by getting 2 USB 8" computer fans and strapping them to the top and bottom of the air intake / output with zip ties. No more overheating. 2. The main dimmer channel is 9. So on a DMX board with 16 channels it is the first of the B channels. No matter how you turn on the RGBW, if you don't have 9 up you won't see anything. I spent 2 hours with tech support and they couldn't solve that one for me, pure trial and error got the job done. But for the money you would be spending $3000+ to get the same features in the light.

Rated 4 out of 5
Semi-Pro Level Unit
Features wise, this thing has it all. We are a small professional production company and decided to try a pair of these. The first 2 came and one unit had a bad fan, but Monoprice's stellar service dept. replaced it right away and the replacement is in perfect working order. I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 only because (a) 50% failure rate when it's brand new is not a good sign and (b) slave mode requires the use of DMX Channel 1, rather than having a dedicated master/slave mode. Other than those 2 things, I would give every aspect of this unit 5 stars. Solid, industry standard construction, relatively quiet (you can barely hear the fan in silence), excellent focus, color mixing and dimming curves.
