Trouble with Remote Operation: Why isn't my remote working?
Ensure the plastic tab is removed from the remote, and check if the light has an IR option in its menu settings to enable remote control.
Insufficient Power Lead Length: Is the power lead provided too short?
We offer various lengths of extension cables for sale on our website.
Synchronizing Light Colors: How can I make all my lights change colours simultaneously?
To change light colours simultaneously, connect them with DMX cables.
Static Light Color Problem: Why doesn't my light maintain a static colour?
Refer to the manual to see if your light has static colour settings, which can be used without a DMX controller.
Light Synchronisation: How can I sync my lights together?
Connect the lights with DMX cables and set one as the master and others as slave units for synchronisation.
Dim Blacklight: Why is my blacklight not very bright?
Black Lights work best in total darkness. Turn off all other light sources for optimal effect, and use multiple black lights in large or crowded spaces.
DMX Controller Malfunction: Why isn't my DMX controller working properly with the lights?
Ensure your DMX controller has sufficient channels to manage all your light’s DMX channels.
Suitable DMX Controller Selection: Which DMX controller should I purchase?
The choice depends on the number of lights and their profiles. Consult with a sales representative for the best option.
Using XLR Cable for DMX: Can a standard XLR cable be used for DMX connections?
While XLR cables can be used for DMX, they may cause errors in the DMX show.
Sound-Activated Strobe in DMX: How do I make the strobe light react to sound in DMX?
Our strobe lights do not have a sound-activated mode; the DMX channel on strobe lights will just alter how fast it flashes.
New Smoke Machine Not Emitting Smoke: Why isn't my new smoke machine producing smoke?
The main thing to check is that you have removed the transit cap and replaced with the cap that has the suction hose attached, when you first operate you will need to press and hold the button for approximately 1 minute to allow for fluid to be pumped and pulled through from the reservoir for the first time, there maybe a loud noise initially but this will stop once fluid has been pulled through and smoke is being emitted
Choosing the Right Fluid: How do I select the correct fluid for my machine?
A wide variety of fluids are available, ranging from standard options to high-density, haze, low fog. Some of these fluids are specifically designed for use with high-powered machines. Feel free to call our sales team, they will be happy to help you select the correct fluid.
Smoke Machines & Fire Alarms: Is there a fluid available that won't trigger fire alarms?
Most smoke fluids will trigger fire alarms, with haze machines being less likely but still possible.
Availability of Coloured Fluids: Are there different coloured fluids available?
It is not possible to create coloured smoke, all fluids regardless of the colour will produce a white/grey smoke.
Laser Activation Issue: Why isn't my laser turning on?
The majority of lasers are equipped with a key and, in some cases, an interlock mechanism. These safety features are standard for most lasers, and if they are not properly engaged or activated, the laser will not operate.
Laser Pattern Control: Can I control the patterns of my laser?
The level of control depends on the laser’s features; some allow basic modes, while others with DMX or ILDA ports offer more control.
Partial Laser Functionality: Why is only one colour on my laser working?
In cold conditions, laser diodes tend to underperform, and certain colours may not function at all. To address this issue, it’s advisable to let the laser remain unplugged in a warmer environment for approximately 30 minutes before using it. If certain colours continue to remain inactive, it could indicate a potential issue with a faulty diode.
Dual Hooks on Large Mirror Balls: Why are there two hooks on large mirror balls?
The central hook is for attaching to a motor mount, and the secondary hook is for a safety chain.
