KAM UV192 Panel Video 1

0:05 It's known as the LED UV192 panel

All right, Lee. All right, here we go, ladies and gentlemen, and this is a demo in the kitchen of this guy from CAM. It's known as the LED UV192 panel. Right, I'm just going to turn that around there. Right, still on. Right, put that there. Okay. Here it is. Now, first of all, years ago when I started DJing, apart from flashy lights and the like... Excuse me, you had something called a black light and they were not dissimilar to the strip light up there. A long tube and they glowed a purpley colour which was known as ultraviolet but they were known as a black light. Now the irony is, well there's an irony in black and light because how can you get a light if it's black? Because if it's black it's dark and you can't see the damn thing. But they were known as black lights.

The problem with those is being a strip light, they were very long and on the odd occasion if you prang them in a manner they'd break and go pop and all the inside would go all over the place and glass would fly everywhere into people's eyes and we'd go to hospital and get sued and goodness me not really. But they didn't last very long or should I say they did last as long as you looked after them. If you didn't look after them they could die in a day. Is that sandwich nice? Alright, so known as black lights or UV, ultraviolet. Now if you don't know what I'm on about, have you ever been to a nightclub or a bar etc where you've turned up and all of a sudden it's very dark in there but you've got this purply light that seems to shine up people's teeth. You can always tell they've got false teeth like that and the teeth are glowing. More so, the clothes will glow but white, only white and certain types of white, not all kinds of white.

2:06 What we've got here is a flat panel and this is a UV light

So that's why they're known as UV, ultraviolet, which is of course part and parcel of the colour scale. You have ultraviolet, you go through all of the colours that you can see and then you go down to the likes of x-ray etc. So what we've got here is a flat panel and this is a UV light. Now as usual I'll put the lickable link in the description that will take you to more information etc. Now this guy's from a company called Cam. Now, again, here's something really bizarre. And I'm sure a lot of DJs out there who have been DJing for a long time will familiarise themselves. Well, you'll understand where I'm coming from. Years ago, a black light, a UV light, had one function. It was turn it off and turn it on. You know what I mean? Yep. You would. You'd turn it off and you'd turn it on. Nowadays, I mean, if someone would have told me 20 years ago...

You're going to have a UV light that is DMX controllable, it will do everything. I'll go, no, because the UV light goes on and off. This guy is DMX controllable, it's Santa light, you can do Master Slave, it dips, it will flash, it will do everything. So what's happened is they've taken a light which is a UV light that goes on or it goes off to the next level where it can go on, off. There's not much we can do with this really because the difference with this kind of light as opposed to other effects for a mobile DJ is other effects are meant for an effect. They're meant to flash around and do jiggly things. This is meant to just go in one direction

4:28 There you go, you get a general idea

There you go, you get a general idea. I don't know if you can notice but there, that is shining up quite a bit. Papers in there, you've got a few bits there. So that proves my point. What this particular type of light will do is illuminate white areas. So for example these were great in the rave era etc from sort of the late 80s early 90s. So if you have got a sort of a party, let's say for example the likes of Halloween Party, what else do you reckon? What sort of functions would this be good for, Lee? It could be for birthday parties too because it lights up the balloons and the colours that the kids have at their parties. Cool, cool, got ya, got ya. Alright, well there you go ladies and gentlemen. There it is, it's from a company called Cam. Like I said, I will put all information in the description. Now I have said in, I did say in a gig log that, you know, the LED lights are getting a bit samey.

It's meant, well, LED first of all will last a considerably long time, but it's not an LED light to give an effect like flashing lights on the wall. This is for one purpose, to light up an area giving the UV effect on that given area. Alright, so a bit of info on this guy here from Cam, practice and enjoy. Thank you very much. Okay, just add this, we've got strobing effect. Also, it can slowly light up... So in other words, you get a slow effect from dark to full UV and then the opposite as well. Alright here we go guys, this is the back of the unit, give you a little bit of information on what it can do. Dip switches, in our master slave, sensitivity there for your microphone, power in, on off, there you go.
