[Djosheez]

I've seen these would love to get two of them!

[PIREDINC]

thanks for the vid bro :)

[dejaybrian]

take your sunrays and or starballs and mount them on the floor on a really small post, or tree?? uplights to the ceiling and gives you a nice bounce wash off the ceiling, and put the starballs etc, on the floor pointing up, and rotate them about 45 degrees so your beams all go through the audience.. and haze em alot... just a suggestion, then you dont have trussing... make it look pro!!

[Geotroniko]

i want to work for this.

[PontDaefi]

Hi Zack! I have a difficult sounding yet simple question, one that I could not find out anywhere else, not even in the online manual of this light. So I would appreciate it if you helped out.

You have 3 DMX channels for this fixture! Channel number 1 is a dimmer and when that is at 0% it is "closed"..

But if channel 1 would be set at 100% so that the dimmer is fully "open", can I have NO LIGHT AT ALL coming out of the Sunray by leaving channel number 2 (which controls colors) at 0%?

i like show u did with both sunray and stars balls

[discojockey007]

Hi Zak,

the stand is Eruolite show stand alu 1? or something different?

thanks discojockey007

and sorry for my bad english

[Zman87gt]

Not familar with the eruolite model. The stand I have is an On Stage Stands I beam truss system. Probably similar to the one you are asking about.

Hello Zak,

Excellent Work!!! I am shooting a music video and am designing a background... I have a battery of smoke machines with lights coming from the floor. The desired effect is sharp beams of white light shooting thru the smoke. I would typically use HMI powered moving lights but have seen your review on these which is great effect. My instinct would say for me to go with the White Starballs to optimize the strength of the beams but the Sunrays would ultimately be more useful with colors.

Hi there!

Great video! I'm looking for a white only light like the Starball II or Sunray II (I think they are both white). Which one out of the two would you recommend for slow dance songs? Are they generally the same as far as output? Thanks so much for your help!

The Starball LED DMX is probably what you mean. Those are very nice as well and I also have a video review on them. They are maybe just a tiny bit brighter because of the white but both fixtures are plenty bright. Now if you are talking about the old school starballs with a regular bulb, I only had the starball 2 I think. It was a mini version. It had a 10 minute duty cycle, got VERY hot, and wasn't very bright at all. Whatever you go with try to see it in person first if you can.

[GCutti]

Thanks a bundle for the advice... I'll have to try out both locally.  Great vids.. .keep them coming.

[JackinTheWoods]

Good video, I'm still not sold on the starball or the Sunray. LED fixtures of this sort are still in their infancy.

[evinkepik]

Just wondering if you used O-Clamps to hook it up to your truss or T-Stand. I have tried using ADJ brand O-Clamps, but it keeps slipping down due to the weight of the Sunray.

any advise or suggestion you use to keep the Sunray firm?

[coppa744]

Hey Zman87gt! Really appreciate ur videos. They help a lot! I've got a question 4 u though. I've seen both ur reviews on the Tri LED Vertigo & now on the Tri LED SunRay. Eventually I'm going 2 get 2 of each 2 supplement my 3rd system. However, 4 right now with money being LACKING I can only choose a pair of 1. What would you suggest. What's brightest, best looking. They'll supplement 2 -ColorStrips, Revo III, Techno Strobe - White, and a Scorpion RG Laser. Thanks again!!! =-)

[gavbag1234]

Whats the name of the american boy remix dude?

[djmkue]

What up Zack!

DJ MKue from New Mexico here....Just wanted to tell you THANKS! Your videos and Big Dogs videos really helped me in my switch to LED. I bought my Aggressor Tri LED about 2 weeks ago, and my 2 SunRay Tri LED's arrived yesterday with my UC3 controller! I have to tell you the video does not do these lights justice...you really have to see them in person. Thanks again...

P.S.

I will post a video of my set up during my next gig.

[Benkku90]

Nice. Loved how they reacted to music! How much does theese cost? And how much does the one with only white light cost?

Thanks for the video!

[Zman87gt]

Either fixture is $150.00. That is regular retail price of course.

[Benkku90]

Cool, and where can i get those in Europe? Do you know some international store?

[djsteve433]

can you use the UC3 with any light

[Zman87gt]

There are many fixtures tat can use a uc3 style controller. Look for it in the discription when you are looking at the lights. Off hand I know these, starball dmx's, quad gem, and my intimidator moving head can use a uc3 controller.

[RandomPurpose]

Whats the mic input for?

[Zman87gt]

Thats the imput used for DMX control

[PaulLimon]

Can you choose just one color with the UC3 controler (red only, blue only, green only ect.)?

[Zman87gt]

Nope, with the UC3 it still goes throught he colors as it pleases.

[PontDaefi]

Nice looking video!

I don't like the Sunray patterns but I like the concept of the Star Ball in color, so I'll just wait for the next generation full color LED's.. If they ever invent those, they're is sure to be a new fixture like this. :)

[mysticradio]

i thought the TRI series had 7 colors PLUS WHITE?

[Zman87gt]

You get Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow Cyan, and White, 7 in total.

[Soundaddictscom]

Just got my sunray tri led today! Its amazing! Especially with fog. Got the uc3 controller too! A must have!

[mobiledjdennis]

Those were awesome I bet you've been asked before but how much do these lights cost with the controller.

[Zman87gt]

I've seen the lights as low as 150 a piece. The UC3 controller is 29.99.

[sisterwood2000]

OK I got my own today!!!

I can't wait to get them out to my gig this next week. ADJ should pay you for your services, it's why I bought them.

[Zman87gt]

Lol, I'll let them know.

[mfuji00001]

strobe effect fucking coolness...

[sisterwood2000]

Would this be something that only really shines in groups of two?

[Zman87gt]

It is definatly better as a couple. If you would use one by itself I would use it more as a center piece.

[djfreebey]

hi zak how u link the UC3 controllers dos 1 work the starball and the American DJ Sunray Tri LED or is work on the 1 for starballs and 1 for American DJ Sunray Tri LED

[Zman87gt]

You plug it into the master fixture. You can't link the starballs with the sunray tri led. For this setup I had 2 controllers. 1 for the starballs, one for the sunray tri leds.

[djfreebey]

ok can link by nomly dmx thow or is same thing

[Zman87gt]

Yeh they can be in the same chain if controlling by DMX. The values are different because of the colors though so they will need to be a different channel of course.

[djvictorsalazar]

Very Nice!!! Way to go!!!!

[Zman87gt]

If you really want the white I would say go with the starball. However when you start playing the faster dance songs I think the Sunray works better. I guess if you can swing both that would be the way to go. Otherwise I personaly like the sunray slightly better.

[reyzuna]

wow that was way cool.. thanks for sharing..

[jasperibe]

Zack, you word/recommendation is enough for me...

[djdice19]

Where did you buy your UC3 controllers from and about how much did they run?

[Zman87gt]

I get them from Speed of Sound in Eau Claire, WI. They are my local shop and they run 29.99.

[djdice19]

Thanks, I'll check my local store. By the way, LOVE the set-up.  Think I will invest in some star balls and Sunrays myself come next year.

[rushentertainment]

vary well done video!!! The light are awesome I see something thats on my wish list now

[grafxnrg]

Thanks Zack, I'm sold. Time to place my order. Cheers!!!

[directsound]

Like them!!! not another I need... you sold me on the starballs now I need 2 of those DAMN IT Thanks!

DJ Mikey MIke

[jasperibe]

[ScottishDeeJay]

Hellllloooooo Santa! Mommy mommy mommy I know what I want!

[sisterwood2000]

can you make them turn opposite directions?

[VTDJResq]

Zack, great vid and comparison. Thanx

[bobbyct06239]

Hey Zack are you using 1 UC3 for the star ball and the tri led? Have you done a review of the UC3?

[Zman87gt]

II use one for the starballs and one for the suray's. I can do a review on the uc3 if you'd like.

[DJCyRo]

Where did you buy this. I can't find the TRI LED lights for sale yet.

[Zman87gt]

I got them locally but they are on ebay and other internet stores.

[itsj1train]

Dude you are like a light god! I wish I could put an icon with a guy bowing down to you. LOL

[jtprodj]

That is a really nice set-up running 4 of them like that. That's pretty sharp Zach. Nice to see you doing some good things man! Always enjoy your videos!

[kknd11]

[cgd31095]
