0:01 It's from a company, I think I'm pronouncing it correctly, Shez

Right, ladies and gentlemen, I've got here, yeah, I've got the cat and I've got a settee and it's pretty random here, but behind me I've got what's known as an LED wall wash. It's from a company, I think I'm pronouncing it correctly, Shez. So I'm going to run through basically an opening. I'll open the box, tell you what I think. I have got another one over there that I've already set up. But I'm going to be using this hopefully tonight at a school event. So I won't be doing lots of filming, filming the kids and whatnot, but hopefully you'll be able to see them working. So what we've got here is we've got 18 by 18. So we've got 18 LEDs, 18 watts, RGBW, which is red, green, blue and white. So you get a full spectrum of colour. And I'm going to open it up.

Before your very eyes now the first thing is very apparent with the box i've already opened is there's none of this flashy kind of boxing with loads of lovely pictures on and sometimes you open a box and there's a box inside a box and another one which is a good and a bad thing it's a bad thing because you know maybe it's nice to have A box that you've got an image of the light on, it looks nice, you know, so for shop showing off purposes. But then again, you're just wasting cardboard, aren't you? Why don't you, as they've done, just stick your light in a box, make sure it's secure and it's not going to bash around. Jobs are good. So, right, let's open it up. This is quite professional. So, yeah, cat's looking at me now thinking, what is he doing? What is he doing? Okay, so a bit of polystyrene here, not actually not polystyrene, sorry, it's foam. And we have usual connector. This, of course, is an XLR connector. So if you want to daisy chain anything like that.

You can do so i will measure that for you um okay so one feature that i really do like that shows it's professional we have a power con connector so you haven't got your figure of eight you haven't got your kettle lead stipe plug type plug you've got a proper power con and these are great because once they're plugged in Joe Bloggs, Mr and Mrs Member of the Public, who on the odd occasion get pissed and try and pull the plugs out of lights, probably don't know these. So if you're familiar with a speak-on for your speakers, you will know that that is a great feature as well. These are known as power cons. So it's exactly the same principle, but we use... Power from the mains, not from audio. So don't forget, don't get them mixed up. Not a good idea. All right, what else have we got in here? We've got the light as well. Of course, before we grab that, we do have a couple of connections here so we can attach it to wall mountings, wall brackets. Also, you can just attach these to the lights and just sort of lay on the ground, which is what I'm going to do this evening. Let's get the light out.

3:34 18 LEDs, 18 watts, RGBW, red, green, blue and white

As you can see, like I said, the packaging is pretty simple. That's it. There you go. But pretty good. Okay, so here we have it. Now again, I'm not going to do a demo right now, but I will give you some of the key features again. 18 LEDs, 18 watts, RGBW, red, green, blue and white. Let's have a look at the size. So I have my tape measure here. So again, it's all well and good looking at something and watching a video, but you need to get an idea in your mind. is about eight centimeters and the width is roughly about eight so it's pretty much yeah pretty much square um so on the back another feature that i do like we've got dual fans so that is of course so it doesn't get too hot now 18 watt leds are pretty bright by themselves but when you've got 18 of them together

5:29 I mean, no, I'll start again

Then this theoretically should light up an entire room. Pretty decent sort of screen there and as usual, this is box standard with a lot of lights like this. You have menu up and down and enter. So basically what you do is you scroll through the menu to get the correct setting. you then go up and down so for example let's say you want to just have white well then you go up and down and maybe you can have low output high output you can have it flashing in white and so on once you've got the setting that you want then you press enter and that will hold it for you now If you're like me and you don't really like using DMX or anything like that, there's two ways of using this light that isn't to its benefit. I mean, no, I'll start again. It's not going to show its true potential, but it is a good way of just using it and making it do its job. The first one is, of course, the easiest and simplest, which is sound to light. So what you're going to do then is you're going to have...

It just do all kinds of colours flashing randomly, but to the music or the sound, the ambient sound in the room. The next one is master-slave and that's when you'd have this as the master, the other one as the slave, and they'll do the same thing. Now that's probably a lot better. You can have sound... Connection there as well. So you can do sound to like master slave. Also, you could just go through the settings and maybe just have a red, green or blue, or maybe have it slowly move through the colour spectrum. Okay, so basically we've got power in, as I said, we've got power out. So it doesn't come with the extra cable for power out, but they're pretty cheap to get anyway. So again, if I just grab, hold on.

There's one over here, out of the pack. Okay, so these power cons are exactly like your, the plug, the speak on for your speakers. So what you do is you push in or... Push in and then twist like that. Now, once that's in, that's actually locked in place. That's not going to come out. It can't come out. It has to be physically... You've got sort of underneath here, you've got a piece of metal. And what you have to do is you have to pull this and twist. And that is the only way of getting that power cable out. And that's one feature that I find really professional with this light. So this is video number one. Okay, it's from, like I said, a company called Sheds. I hope I've got that correct, that pronunciation correct. I will put information in the description on this. Go and check it out. Of course, I've got an event tonight. I'll try and take them with me. Also got an event Saturday, so I'll take them as well. And that's it pretty much. So watch out for more videos from this company.

There's loads of other lighting they've got. Thank you for watching. I'm going to go around the camera now because this is Punk TV. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.

The stages are the way through

Below this line is the back catalogue, newest first. Useful for browsing, but it is not a course - the videos are in the order they were filmed, not the order to learn them in. Work the stages instead: each one assumes the one before it.
