MoodBar from Source, also ColourBar from Zoom.


Same item from same factory different name on front.

Basically they are very simple items, as you would expect from an LED product, no real need for any hocus pocus or whizzy moving parts.

They are not too bad in the weight department so can be floor stood or hung from trussing etc, and a stand/mount is supplied for both methods.

The floor stand is very stable and if anything slightly over engineered.

Under high room lights or sunlight the panels are not very effective as you would gather, however in the dark or under normal late night conditions they really do look effective.

Not bright enough to annoy but more than enough to provide vivid colours and the ambience is enough to light up a std sized living room in a house.

Plenty of built in patterns and the choice of 4CH DMX or 20 CH DMX per unit.

Any controller can use the 20 channel DMX by using two fixture addresses for each unit this provides 4 DMX channels for each of the 5 LED panels. SO you can have 3 panels on one bank and the remaining two on another, so to program the whole panel you simply select fixture 1&2 and adjust the appropriate sliders (channels).

This might sound technical but in practice is very easy and simple.

Detacheable defuser panels make for easy cleaning.

Cleaning of the internal white reflector is also easy once defuser panels are removed.
