A small look at the KAM LED PAR 56 DMX LIGHT
Contents of the video
Alright folks, someone's asked me to demo this guy here. It's by a company called Cam and it's the LED PAR 56. There you go. Before we actually have a look at it, anyone out there who can remember the original PAR cans will know that A, they got very hot, B, they took a lot of power and C, most importantly, you'd plug a light bulb in, let's say in the morning, and by the evening, sods law, it's gone so you've got to buy another one. They're very expensive. This, on the other hand... I could plug this in today and just so long as we don't have any huge tornadoes or thunderclaps. Theoretically, this could last for 11 years continually running. Sorry. Alright, let's have a look at the back of it. Various switches for DMX. You've got in and out for DMX. You've got a microphone there and you've got this dial here that will increase and decrease the actual microphone intensity. In other words, theoretically what that means is let's say this.
If you have this close to your speakers, you can turn it down so it doesn't have to listen to so much sound. In other words, it's not going to be blasted. It can be run three ways. One is DMX through an actual DMX controller. The other one is just sound to light. So basically you can plug and play and just let it carry on. Well thirdly, you can run this what is known as master-slave. In other words, you've got here output. I would have a lead from the output of this one into the input of the other one and then I would set the switches on the DMX control panel here so this will be the master, the other one will be the slave. In other words, what will happen is the sound will come into this microphone and if this starts to flash red...
I can get the other one to start to flash red as well, so they'll work in tandem. They'll become a pair, which is quite cool. Alright, what else can I tell you about these? Well, first of all, like I said, these guys will last for over 100,000 hours. They do not get hot, which is quite fantastic. And also, what I do like about them is they don't take much power. Now, I've been in a situation where I've gone to a function and there's been one plug. And you're running decks, turntables and loads of lights. The last thing you want to do is start overpowering the one plug. You could have a whole bunch of these and they will take a minimum amount of power which is quite cool. So there you go. A quick look on this guy here. It's the LED PAR 56 by Cam. I will be using these in future videos. Different colours. You've got blue, green and red.
And I don't know if you can see that, but that's pretty intense. Alright, watch out for future videos. Practice and enjoy.
