0:03 It's from a company called Cool Light

Alright guys, bit of a demo on this. It's from a company called Cool Light. It's known as the Spot EX15. Now, as ever, what I'll do, I'll put a clickable link in the description of this video. It is a moving head. Now, a bit of spec on this guy. We've got one LED inside it, 15 watts, 5 or 13 DMX channels, we've got dimmer strobe, 1 wheel, 9 gobos plus open, 12 colours. We've got RGB mixing as well, plus colour macros. You've got built-in programs, sound activated and Master Slave. And guess what? It's not like the Model T Ford. It does come in white as well. Now again, what I do like about this, it's got the LED technology. There's only one LED. It's only 15 watts. But again, the thing is with LEDs is they don't really get that hot. Yes, they get a little bit hot, but not as, say, hot as the likes of a discharge bulb.

1:00 It from a different angle

Now when I saw units like this years ago, of course they were slightly different, bigger and bolder. They were hyper expensive but now items like this, moving heads, 360 movement, 24-7, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year are getting quite inexpensive now. Let's have another look at it from a different angle. Right, now like a lot of modern daylights you've got a bit of a control panel here This is very user-friendly. It's very basic. We've got mode, select, you go up and down through the menus and you can enter. This also will help you go through DMX channels as well. Now this is video number one. This is what I call in broad daylight. It's dark outside but we've got a light on in here. The reason for a video like this is to show you the unit and then I'm going to do another video

2:23 Into third, third into fourth

We've got a whole bunch of smoke out, it's going to be pitch black and we'll see exactly what it's like with some music as well. Okay, power in, we've got a jack input there, that's only for remote control, and your DMX in and out. Now also these guys can be used for master slave. For people out there who don't know what master slave is, basically what you can do, you could set, for example, this unit to be the master unit, so what you would have any music played This guy here would pick up the sound from that music source and then you'd go out of this one into another unit, out of the second one into third, third into fourth. So basically what would happen is all of the units would do exactly the same. In other words they'd all work in tandem together which, you know, I'll be honest with you, in the dark with a load of smoke looks quite stunning.

Right now, all units like this will make a certain amount of noise because you've got motors and fans etc. So there you go, video number one on this guy here. It's from a company called Cool Light and it's known as the Spot EX-15. Practice and enjoy.
