Brian Looks At The ADJ REVO Scan LED & REVO Roll LED

[JakDjEvesham]

Brian:) which one do you like better?:)

[DAVESOUNDSMATAMP]

Great Demp Brian!

Thanks

[DjRyBiz]

revo roll has more activity to it.

[jbljrx125]

I just picked the REVO ROLL up a few days ago and OMG it is AMAZING!!!! ADJ does it again

[driveinshowbunnik]

i have a question? can you make tut that you put this one (the normall not the roll) in to thedmx ? i wanne sey how that works? Thnx allready

[djpaul1000]

i'll make a video soon and show u lot what i have done thanks brian keep up the good work

[djpaul1000]

hi brian i have 4 american dj revo scan led and must say very good scaners the only thing i'm not fussed on is the washers in the haning bracket they don't hold the light in place very good when they ar on the stands so i changed the washers and put rubber one's on them insted i must say it done the job very well and the lights hold in place very good now the rubber washers cost me about 20 pence from a elctrical shop i had to make the holes bigger though

[Dbassman999]

I bougth me a revo scan some months ago. I want to use it for small gigs of a rock band like pubs and clubs. What would be the best way of using this effect. aimed at the band? aimed at the ceiling? Aimed at the crowd? Basically I am the sound guy, tryiing to improve the visual esthetics.. ;-) Beside this effect I have a led bar of 8 RGB LED spots (DMX), a blinder and some PAR 46 for extra light.

[tehrules]

Just brought two scanners and a barrell, i'm not going to be disapointed with brightness.

How do these compair to normal scanners?

What about replacing the LEDs? Easy?

[robjcrowston]

you never have to replace the LED;s they last pretty much forever! And adj say the brightness is compareable with a 250w halogen light

[lightsup]

the name of the song is crying at the discoteque by alcazar sweedish group. and the revo roll is a great light Brian.

By the way Brian can you list some remix or track that has the same beat as this one.

[jrm5432]

Can you do a light show with FOG???

[djmiz123]

Whats the track at the end?

Dj Miz 123

[CaliZ]

Alcazar - Crying at the discoteque

[ryanthescooterguy]

And it samples 'Spacer' by the B-Devotion!

[eurolitescancontroll]

Is with you also like that: if man turns out switches on that much worse/high clay/tone turns out makes??? and also normally is that the mirror engines very inaccurately works??? I ask for a Atwort.

[PontDaefi]

Yeah they all have that horrible peep tone..

[gerdyliciouswl]

Hi,

can you make a review on the revo roll led with smoke?

Grts Gerdy

[drumshith]

Can they light on one place?

[gerdyliciouswl]

probably yes,

i think in dmx mode you can control them with controller and then you control pan and tilt to a fixed place.

[krock40704070]

Problem - I just bought 2 revo rolls and they wont run exactly the same or exactly the opposite with my Elation operator. They do and look great running in master\slave mode when I switch off the DMX.  With the DMX setting stand alone, they go to the music but each do their own thing - they wont sinc in DMX - help

[RonGlickProductions]

Looks like the Scanner is quite a bit brighter than the Roll.... any thoughts?

[PontDaefi]

That's very logical! The LED's inside are just as bright in both of them. With the Scan the light the LED's produce is concentrated in one visible pattern on the wall, where as the Roll with his barrel mirror splits the light into multiple patterns.. and so they are less bright, but still good!

[GameQs]

I wanna buy 2 ADJ REVO Roll LED

can u get a nice effect wich 2?

[SmashinCans]

hey brian whaz up, so I just did a School Dance gig last night and i the breaker brokeabout 5 times. I was using a Pioneer Mixing System, LapTop, ADJ Vertigo, ADJ Derby, Strobe Light, 2 Smoke Machines, and a Chauvet Elan. I used all that and the power kept going off, how do i prevent this

[briansredd]

You should try running off of multiple circuts. All that lighting/fog stuff uses a lot of power. That's why we're so LED crazy right now. It uses very little power to avoid issues like this

[SmashinCans]

thanks dude!! i will look into that, i have a LED Messenger, but i'll get into that. Are the watts of the lights diffrent, cuz the vertigo is about 600watt total. what is the average of LED Lighting

[briansredd]

The Vertigo is 300 watts.

Like this video says, these lights are 12 watts each. Lights like the Revo III are 48 watts. I've got loads of videos up on LED lights. Have a look!

[SmashinCans]

thanks, all i need is a LED Double Derby, too bad they dont make that

[sleeperawaken36]

Slight correction, the Vertigo is 600 Watts. It uses 2x300 Watt bulbs, like the Derby/Avenger lights.

[deejaydelacerda]

@SmashinCans Hi there I'm not brian, I just read this, in my experience I had the same problem so many times well the way to fix it is easy go to the main electrical board and plug in directly or the easier one, Find a break that is over 40 amps! yes the amps in the breaker is the problem, is very comun to find 25 amps or 30 amps breaker in Houses in a salon you'll find 30 and up so I suggest u next time find withch breaker control your setup.

[willgreenhalgh500]

hey brian,

whats the name of this song?

[sebadmx512]

REVO SCAN is too bad, mirror movement only can make fast movements but slow moving is stepped 10° it looks ugly. i will upload a video to show that

[sisterwood2000]

One huge problem, the revo roll look awesome in complete dark, but not anywhere else. Needs to be twice as bright!

[briansredd]

Like most lights, yeah they are going to look better in a dark room. I've done gigs where it's been dim and it's still looked pretty good. You are right though, they aren't going to do you much good in a room that's lit up with house lights

[PontDaefi]

I have the problem that it is too bright in a complete dark room, but I'm talking about my bedroom here! So for people like me, it's bright enough at home! :p

My video response above is shot in the afternoon with the curtains before the window, and I like it that way, colors are very nice! If it's complete dark then the strobing hurts my eyes. :-D

Gonna get me some other lights to fix that issue though..

[Dj72Unlimited]

So what should i buy, 2 scans or 2 rolls?

[briansredd]

Whatever you like best.

[Dj72Unlimited]

But is there any huge difference between the two. Like effects or colour's or anything really? More capabiities?

[briansredd]

The Roll throws more light around than the Scan. That's because of the barrel mirrors

[olliejamesdrums]

Hey Brian,

I found this video great, may have to buy a couple of the REVO Rolls!

Thanks,

Ollie

[PontDaefi]

If you buy one: absolutely go for the roll!

If you buy more: the scans look better in pairs.

[MoeSinclair]

Jo its Ok. American the richest people in the world... thx to Nazi-Bush!!

[bafagu2]

revo roll is killer!!! MY NEXT SET FOR SURE

[sisterwood2000]

I am so glad you do this. Very helpfull!

[soundlight]

It's great to see DJs adopting LED lights. Drops power consumption like mad. Looks like you're getting the hang of things. I've got a light recommendation for ya - ADJ Pearl Color LED. Pretty bright unit, and it's really compact for something that bright. You can make scenes on your controller with it really easily, because it's only got two DMX channels. Centerstage Lighting is selling returned units on eBay for cheap, last I checked. A pair of these would really work great with your rig

[funkySEBASTO]

i am getting 1 of these....(i just LOVE LEDs).and they need only 12W...nice effect for a low price....150eur(195$)...and DMX...yeah

[tramcecoaster]

is led realy sooo good?

[briansredd]

I love the stuff!

[VEGASCLAN]

What controller are you looking to purchase soon? I'm in the market search for a DMX controller and I have narrowed it down to the the Elation Op 192. Are you not satisfied with the OP 192?

[briansredd]

Oh the 192 is very nice. I was considering giving the Elation Compu 1024EC a go. It would save time not to mention rack space.

[ppf01]

hey brian if your jaw hurst, for example its hurts when i try to open my mouth, u think i should go to the dentist?

[briansredd]

Huh? HA!

[discodjking]

The roll is shit hot, i might hafto put that in my shopping cart lol.

[BigMilan]

alcasar - crying at the discoteque!!! lol love that song. what a whack video clip too for it.

can u make the lights spread out more? it seems a bit narrow. maybe it's just because you're not pointing them very far away?

oh there we go! lights everywhere! yay lol plus the "dungeon" would explain the distance

:)

[waveydaveyb]

Thanks for the info Brian. Liked the Revo Roll. Now I have to figure where to put it with out adding a second tripod. I scaled down on the setup. Marsha won't like another tripod. Too Much Stuff!

Very cool light. I may get one for the kit!

[briansredd]

You could probably attatch it to the shaft of the tripod itself. You'll just need the right clamp.

[waveydaveyb]

I have the Revo & another light on the tripod itself now. Is it best for this light to be up higher aiming down on the dance floor or doesn't it matter how high up the light is mounted? Thanks bro.

[briansredd]

It's a matter of aiming it. You could probably mount this between one of your color splashes if you had something on the other side to balance the weight (another light)

[Azsman610]

That RRL is CRAZY! Id like to see a bunch of the going at once!?! ;-)

[billleethekid]

im looking at getting the min spots by chauvet they have leds in them

[briansredd]

Are you talking about the Color Splash Jr lights? I have a few of them as well

[traderpete007]

The LEDs have this cool retro effect.... But I don't think I'm giving up my regular martin scanners just yet.

[gardnerbm]

I dont think they are to be compared to scanners like the martin scx series. They make cool effects for half the cost.

[azprodjs]

looks very cool, i was looking at these because they are LED but i dont think the projected patterns are as cool looking as other scanners such the scx500 and so on

[billleethekid]

pretty spiffy

[Bretty135]

They are not bulbs!?!?! the are light emitting diodes

[briansredd]

Settle down, Bretty... HA!

[MandRDJ]

Were those demonstrations with a controller or not?

[briansredd]

That was in stand-alone

[yvesmdjgryphon]

could you demo it in DMX as well? thx!

[briansredd]

There should be a new DMX controler here in the cave within the next few weeks. stay tuned!

[waurma1]

price?

[briansredd]

I did a google search and found one for $299

[waurma1]

thats fairly reasonable!!! i might purchase one actually!

[briansredd]

idjnow dot com has the Roll for $249

[brettland]

now a few of those in my kitchen would be great!!! nice vid Brian

[PyroBoydj]

Does anybody know about LED replacements for Effect lights? I know they have LED Par Lamp Replacements but I haven't found the same for Effect lights. Brian, Great bit of kit there. You got me wising I went LED.

[briansredd]

When it comes to scanners, you're probably better off just getting LED scanners. Who knows? One of these days they may make LED replacements for old skool scanners.

[PyroBoydj]

That's what I guessed. But I figured it was worth an ask because you seem to know what's going on in the DJ world right about when it's happening. Keep it up man I love watching your stuff. Here's hoping my LED replacements are invented soon :)

[briansredd]

I've just got WAY too much time on my hands... HA!

[PyroBoydj]

All the better for us. The more time you have the more videos you can make!

[gardnerbm]

Check out the Accu LED moving head. Wont be comming out till around March. watch?v=bQEQCNKgT_U

[briansredd]

Thoes are pretty slick!

[rog5301]

good vid, man i have one question is dmx is over kill for wedding gig ?

[briansredd]

No, absolutely not. It's important to understand what DMX actually is & does. I use it at all of my weddings to do colour washes with my par cans. I can make my par cans flash for dance music or I can make them nice and moody for slow jams. DMX will basically make your light show more versitile.

[gardnerbm]

Without DMX you have no control over your lighing setup. You need more than just an on-off switch.

[briansredd]

Yeah but many scaners, moonflowers, etc have internal modes that have pre-programed patterns that aren't half bad! But yes, for REAL control DMX is the way to go for sure.

[mastrping]

Very impressive. I would have like to see them with a little more haze.

[briansredd]

I do need some smoke. Hopefuly next time I do a new light I'll have some for ya

[sleeperawaken36]

You could just light a few of your favorite brand up, then shoot the vid... ;)

[briansredd]

I've done that before. Next time we do a lighting vid, there will be fog

[sleeperawaken36]

hehe... np and no hurry, just trying to get a laugh... :)

[Hawk12athome]

Looking great Bri!

[gardnerbm]

I found this very useful, i was about to buy the revoscan, but after seeing the revo roll, i may go for that. This video is way better than the ADJ videos.

[djpi0]

funky

[djfreebey]

i like the REVO Roll LED but the the scaner dont seem to do much light in a room

[sleeperawaken36]

The scanner is better than it looks, it would look better in a larger room, but also really really needs to be used in atleast a pair, and preferrably in a set of 4. The single beam of the Revo scan should be significantly brighter than the multiple beams from the roll, but the trade-off as can be seen, is that you need multiple revo scans to make a show, where a revo roll will do a good job as a single or a pair.

[briansredd]

You have to remember that the space I had to work with is SO small here. The light was probably about 5 feet away from the wall

[syntse]

Seems leds are heavily coming into DJ lights which is not bad thing of course. This makes me want to get some of those to my house to boost some home parties :)

[ppf01]

hey ellaskins do u have aol instant messenger?

[briansredd]

We both use SKYPE. briansredd at hotmail dot com will get you to me :)

[Zman87gt]

I love the idea of an LED scanner. However I wish they had a gobo wheel with an LED light source. I'm sure they are in the works and as soon as they're available I'm buying 4. Great Video!!

[briansredd]

When the lights were on or the background music in the intro? The intro music was"Seasons Of Love" by Bill Nunnally. The music when the lights were going crazy was "Crying At The Discotech" by Alkazar

[groovindj]

That's Keith Nunnally actually, my friend!

[briansredd]

OopS!

[DJOmega80]

I like the Roll over the Scan.

[sleeperawaken36]

Me too!

[ellaskins]

I love this toon, reminds me of happy days! j

[briansredd]

Alright.. come on, hit me on Skype, you nutter!

[ellaskins]

About time this happend!, no changing bulbs every day and low power consumption and very brite to boot! nice j

[briansredd]

Are you on SKYPE J? Need to speak at ya!

[briansredd]

Which one?

[gibsonsgpilot]

Love the Revo Roll!! Nice vid, now I have to go buy one. Thanks Brian.

[dj99surf]

thx for the review. beautiful patterns from the Revo Roll Led. It would be cool to see it @ a larger venue. Show it at one of ur gigs if u can.

[briansredd]

You can catch a look at it in my last gig log

[theHappyViking]

That roll led is sick! Really, really cool Brian.

[emandjservice]

I thik the revo roll led is awesome. It provides great covrage and 12 watt power draw.
