BETOPPER LC003 H Warm White Cold White 2 in 1LED Par Light DEMONSTRATION

0:01 Definitely not the case with these

Right, ladies and gentlemen, first and foremost, again, when companies send me products, if I don't think they're any good, I will not review them. Definitely not the case with these. They're from a company called Beat Topper, and these are the LC003s. What you've got in each unit is 54 2-watt white, warm white LED lights. I'm just using them master-slave, so I have an XLR cable from the light on the left going into the one on the right. Just for demonstration purposes, what I highly recommend if you get lights like this, of course, is to use a DMX controller because you're not going to get all of the features by just using them as I'm using them. Now, I contradict myself because, yes, you can.

You can get practically all of the features, but you're going to have to set the features using the screen at the back. So you're going to have to run through all the menu manually as opposed to plugging it into a DMX controller and bingo, you can just use the controller. That's it. Okay, so what we basically got is a very bright light. There, I mean, I'm thinking two of these in a medium-sized room is going to fill the room with white light. Now, again, having what's known as warm white, the difference between that is, let's, I'll give you an analogy. Let's say you've got a car headlight shining at the public. It's going to blind them. But if you imagine you put a white screen in front of that headlight, you'll still get the light from the headlight, but it's not going to blind people. It's just going to give this warm kind of feel in the room instead of, you know, an intense light being thrown at people's eyes and blinding them. So I'm just going to go down. We go up from there.

2:21 The lights themselves are pretty big

As I just scroll through now going from zero up to 200 odd, very slowly the lights get brighter and brighter. Now again you know I don't really want to be doing this with my fingers but as I said using a controller the world's your oyster. Okay so the lights themselves are pretty big. Now plastic construction, the stands These are metal and they can be used in two ways. As you can see, we can sit them on the ground. Alternatively, if you pull them together, you've got a hole there so you can fit that to a light trussing rig. Now DMX in and out. Now these aren't sound to light or anything like that. Basically it is a case of master slave as I've done or ideally 100%. Use a DMX controller. Not much can be said about these really. I mean, very quickly as well. When I do demos with kits, a lot of people say, how come you never do any bad reviews? Well, it's very simple. If I get a piece of kit that I don't think is very good, I won't even use it. There's no point, because I don't want to embarrass myself and have comments from people saying, you said it was great and it's a pack of rubbish.

4:42 Almost though, warm, dull

These aren't rubbish. Now, I'm not sure of the actual cost, but with technology moving forward and LEDs getting better and better, I would say with Beat Topper, excuse me, you know what I like about the company? If you are on a budget, then the lights probably will be inside your budget. You can go sort of high-end with lights, but the way I look at companies like this is that if you're on a low to a medium budget, you can get a couple of decent lights, three or four of them, maybe for the same price as one light from another company. So you just do the math. It's just basic economics. All right, so I'll pause the camera now and let's go outside and let's see if we can brighten up. the wall outside it's pretty dark now anyway all right typically this actually started raining but there you go hopefully it's not going to rain too much more and enter right so it's relatively dark but there you go definitely not at full power at the moment oh yeah typical it had to start raining anyway comes in a sort of a generic box and on the box it says sort of stage lighting so

In a way it is. Applications for something like this, you know, band, say you're in a band, maybe a nightclub, of course mobile DJ. Being a mobile DJ as well I can see a couple of these again being used with the DMX controller would look stunning let's say for the bride's first dance. Now because you've got that warm white feel It's almost as though the way of describing that is, you know, if you imagine an intense, you know, like the headlight kind of analogy staring at you and, you know, blinding you. A warm light is more of a white light but with this dull kind of phase, phase, dull. Dull feeling to it. Now I don't mean as in, you know, a nasty but it's almost as though it's being put through a cloth so all of that intense kind of blinding your eyes has disappeared and you've just got that warm feel and it's probably going to work really well let's say with the bride's white dress and so on. So what do you get in the box? Well of course

You get the light itself and there it is. Now, the construction is plastic, okay? And I'm looking at the front face now of the LC3003 and I can see all of the LEDs there, all 54 of them. And just behind there, you have got a couple of rather nice heat sinks, okay? So again... They're going to dissipate the heat because I can imagine if you've got something like this on full throttle, it's going to get a bit warm. At the back we have a very simple and again kind of a generic screen here that you find things like this now with practically every single light out there unless of course it's LED and it's very posh. This one here, you've got your usual menu up down and then enter. So you scroll through the different scenes. You choose this part of the scene that you want. So for example, you know, you could have a scene where you've got a warm white light, but maybe you want it not as bright as the other lights in the room.

8:22 Whatever I did on this one would go through directly to that one

So you can run through up and down to increase or decrease the intensity and then press enter and that's it. And it will stay like that. And as I had it earlier on in the video, I had master slave. So whatever I did on this one would go through directly to that one. And as I said previously, if you don't have a DMX controller, you can do just that. But it is a bit of fiddling around. You know, you don't want to be messing around. Lights like these ideally need to be used with a DMX controller, mainly because you haven't got sound-to-light capability. It is a case of plugging in and setting here, otherwise you plug in and it's probably not going to do anything. Okay, so you get your clamps there, again suitable for floor mounting or fitting to a light trussing rig.

Of course, you've got these just screwing either side and you have your power cable. Now I'd say that's about a metre long. It doesn't really matter. Again, if you're going to have something like this, you're going to have definite connections where you can just plug it in. And that's what it looks like when it's set up. So that's floor mounted. We can angle it. In any way we want. So of course, again, you know, you can have that against a wall and angle it quite nicely. Alternatively, pull these together as I showed you. And now you're good to go on light chatting break. Well, there you go. So the name of the company is B-Topper and this is the LC003. There will be information in the description. I'd like to say a big thank you to the couple. Sorry, stop the wobbling.

I'd like to say a big thank you to the company for sending them to me. And again, I wasn't paid to do this video. My disclaimer very simple, but they did send me the products for free. And as I said time and time again, if I get stuff sent to me and I don't think it's any good, just don't expect a review. That's it. All right. So once again, thank you for watching. And if you have used these, let me know in the comments what you think. Also, please comment and I'll do my best. Thank you for watching. Practice and enjoy.
