ADJ's Mega TriPar Profile Vs. The Mega Par Profile

[orejon247]

so i personally own 12 of each of these and this is what i can say. the MEGA pars have a deeper more rich looking colors. the TRI PAR have what i can best describe as a par light with a gel. the mega pars are also a slimmer beam. all in all the TRI pars are brighter as the beams are wider. and the reason they can do an AMBER is because the RED is not true red, it shows hues of orange. (seems to have some yellow in it) i can honestly say i can use them both

[customlasers]

Hi just bought a few of these today ,can they be linked to the American Dj Profile Panel Rgb so they all change colour at the same time ? would i set the par or panel as master

cheers

what are the best bags to carry these lights in so they don't break while going from one gig to another

[imthedj2000]

I purchased 6 Eternal Lighting Flat Par Pro's and then purchased 4 ADJ Mega par profile. Unfortunately what I found out that the only colors that actually match is Solid red and Solid Green. The Blues dont match at all. So when it comes to color mixing to get purple or pink its a noticable difference. I am ready to get rid of my Flat Par Pro's to pick up 16 more ADJ Mega Pars. The colors are just richer and more tru. Your thoughts...

[DarkMan352]

im gonna get the The Mega Par Profile and can you tel me what the numbers are on the r,g,b settings to make Orange? if you can tell me just tell me or make a unlisted video and send me it. Thanks

How does the tripar compare with the flatpar7 I realize it is 6 more watts of led power but as an end user, would a 5 cover the vast majority of applications the 7 would and a couple 7's only be necessary when the application requires a few more feet of throw? I realize it is a subjective question but think a side by side would be great. Thanks for the great vid!

[corowin1]

I feel that i should mention that the wattage of a light is not compleatly indicative of the ammount of light it puts out, its simply the power that it consumes. Im pretty sure 500w of tripars would be a hell of a lot brighter than a single 500w strand patt. 23. You would need to compare lumen levels to get an accurate comparison, still a very useful video though, thanks. =]

[MrProDJSolutions]

Thanks for the comparison

Ok so I am for sure going to get a couple of the profile pars. I currently have 0 and would like to get 2 or 4 for now and I am just wondering, should I go the TRI route (as that seems like the place LED fixtures are going) or should I just get the regualar Mega Par Profile and save the $100?

[djlmonte]

Hello and thanks for the videos. Can ADJ and Chauvet pars be used on the same DMX controller ?

[briansredd]

@djlmonte Yes sometimes. It depends on the controller & what channel capabilities the lights have. Some Chauvet lights can't do 3 channel mode so something like an Obey 3 or an RGB 3C won't work with them. ADJ's stuff usually always gives you a 3 channel mode option

Nice video Brian thanks DJ Mikey Mike

[bakerentertainmentdj]

Thanks Brian!

Is the only difference between the tripar profile and the tri7 the amount of tri LED's? The Tri 7 having 7 and the Tripar having 5?

Also whenever I brought up the Tri7 on forums etc, everybody kept telling me the Blizzard Puck3 is better and more bang for your buck. Instead of 7 tri LED's, it has 9 and with that comes much brighter output (according to everyone). Have you ever seen the Blizzard Puck3 lights? Size and shape is nearly identical to the tri7

[briansredd]

@noodlecake71240 Yeah i've seen them. That's a choice you have to make for yourself. Not trying to bad mouth anyone, but you do pay for overall quality from the fixture to the LED's themselves to the service & warranty you get with each light you buy

[chocolateollie]

can u do a vid on how to setup up dmx on the mega par profile because i want to dmx them to and use sound active mode

[briansredd]

@chocolateollie Do you mean DMX or do you mean Master/Slave?

[chocolateollie]

@briansredd i mean master/salve

[lisaart02]

give me your old lights you dont use

[MrPaddip99]

Thats wrong: If you've a 3 watt TRI LED and only use red, there's 1 watt per LED. There are only 3 watts If you use white with full RGB.

[Forssa1]

@MrPaddip99 This. The tri LEDs are just a pixel made with three 1W LEDs (one red, one green, and one blue). So the principle is exactly the same as with separate LEDs.

[MrPaddip99]

@Forssa1 Like i said: For example: if you´ve got only the red LEDS on, there´s 1 W per LED... But Brian said there´s always 3W, also if you´ve got only the red or the green or the blue... Am I right?? :D

[Forssa1]

@MrPaddip99 You are correct. The combined total wattage is 3W per unit, 1W for each colour. And this adds up to a maximum of 15W with full white, since there are 5 units, and only 5W with just full red (or green/blue).

[briansredd]

@MrPaddip99 Looks like i messed that one up.  Sorry boys :(

[BenG9C9]

AMBER Cheat Sheet - TriPar Profile

Red - 253

Green - 090

Blue - 000

[briansredd]

@BenG9C9 Well roughly yeah. You can start there anyway and tweak it to your liking

[christonika]

I hope ADJ goes wireless with these soon! :)

[briansredd]

@christonika If i had to guess, i'd say it's coming BUT the technology needs to be both stable & affordable before they pull that trigger.... but that's only a guess :P

[DJTmaq]

QUESTION: Brian, can we run lighting controller software on a iPad?

[briansredd]

@DJTmaq i have no idea

[briansredd]

@falcoss HA!  No man it's all good. I was just google searching for an answer to that one myself. Someone at ADJ probably told me at one time, but my brain, although it has loads of space, typically has a slow prosessor chip & a sticky keyboard where info input attemps can be pretty high before it's actually accepted

[briansredd]

@falcoss and yes, its the same with laser diodes. Red is easy to make bright where green & blue require more power to get to the same visable brightness

[briansredd]

@briansredd Just read somewhere that lumens mesurments have to do with traditional lighting that spreads out more where LEDs of this style (spots, floods) are too directional for a lumens mesurement that would mean much, so watts is typically used. I dunno, science fiction to me :P

[DJCob1]

@DJTmaq take a look at dj rollergod, he does this and has videos on this subject.

DJCob1

[axelrod21]

@DJTmaq Yes. There are it manly involves running remote app to control software on pc/mac. Or there are a few software programs that will directly communicate to a interface wireless. Example ---->luminair

[falcoss]

Just one thing: As far as brightness goes, you want to look at not only the power (watts) but also the amount of light (lumens) that each fixture puts out. This is why your Mega Par has a different number of led's for each colour. (e.g. more red light is given out than blue PER LED, and so they have to increase the number of blue led's to get 'about' the same light output)

[briansredd]

@falcoss It's my understanding that LEDs are not mesured in lumens. quite honestly i'm not sure what the propper mesurement of brightness is for these

[Currier35]

AWESOME video, brian!

Answered all of my questions.
