Chauvet DMF-10, 1 X 27W Quad LED!

0:01 First demo on this light from a company called Chauvet

Alright guys, first demo on this light from a company called Chauvet. It's known as the DMF-10. That sort of serrated thing at the top there is the heatsink for the single quad LED inside. I mean, you new DJs, you don't know how lucky you are. Years ago, a light like this would have cost about the equivalent of a second hand car. And would be exceedingly hot after about three seconds. 27 watt LED in there, quad colour. At the moment it's just doing sound to light and if I tap the back it'll carry on going. Small point about this, if you have got the unit on, of course it will do its thing. But let's imagine you've got the unit on and all of a sudden no sound. After a certain amount of time... It'll turn itself off, or should I say the LED will turn off. The quad LED is red, green, blue and white. Now you can turn this guy if you wanted to focus but to be quite honest I like a more of a muddy effect on the wall as opposed to sort of that pristine kind of colour you would expect with an LED.

1:51 We've got DMX in, DMX out, takes six channels

Okay, we've got DMX in, DMX out, takes six channels. Also the power on the back that's in and you'll notice that guy there. So you can if you want to go out of this unit into another light. So I mean it saves you having to say go from a double socket or a multi socket. Sensitivity dial there depending on how close or far away you are from your speakers. Microphone input there. Pick up the signal from the speakers for sound to light. Construction-wise, it's exceedingly solid. I mean, it's a relatively small light unit, yet the bracket here, you know, they haven't thought, oh, let's put a flimsy bracket on. They've put something there that could probably handle five or six times the weight. And these guys here, they're easy to use, you know.

3:53 You want to do is open

It's not a tiny, fiddly little wheel. You've got something there that you can grab hold of. I mean, come on, we like to grab older things as DJs, don't we? Right, how heavy is it? It's 2 kilograms or 4.3 pounds and the power range is from 100 to 240 volts. Sometimes as well, it's quite difficult to work out size on video. So there's a CD. So give me a general idea of size. It's the length, well, the length, sorry. Right, you've got yourself a new light or a new bit of kit and of course the first thing you want to do is open it up and you want to mess around with it. And of course you pull the box apart and you chuck it away. Mmm, the box. Right, here is your cheap free flight case. It's not as easy as, well it is, just open the box and away you go. But, now then, I don't know if you can see...

You could use duct tape, you could use sellotape. I've used packaging tape. I need to go across there. But, I'll be honest with you, listen straight to the point. Once you've put say three or four layers around each corner, the bottom, the sides, the top, then that is your flight case. It's cheap because you've already bought the light and guess what? Right, put that there, that's it. One-handed. At the end of the day, you know, we all like a good box, don't we? And that, there, look, there you go. See, light in there and that is your exceedingly cheap flight case. Alright, you can't start chucking loads of stuff on it and you cannot throw that about at the back of the van. But, it will save you a small fortune in buying... Why you couldn't stick another couple of boxes on there as well. Go and check out A1 Party DJs in Australia because he does something similar. Alright, I will put a link in the description. It'll be a lickable clink and it'll take you directly to the Showbay website where you can get more information on this light and others. Ah, check it out. By the way, today is January, well, to January the 6th of December. Thank you for watching.
