:Prolight Magic-LED 162
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2019 3:27 am
Found this at a pawn shop, got it for $30 so couldn't go too wrong. It is probably the only example of a fixture from this company anyone will post, I only found two others after hours scouring the Internet. Scanic (Germany) markets a similar fixture but it only uses 6 DMX channels. I also found where I can order the Scanic variant by the hundreds from China.
I really have no idea what it's proper model number is but will explain my naming convention:
:Prolight - There is already a company called Prolight (prolight.co.uk) but after discussing with them, it isn't one of theirs. Added the colon (:) from their logo to differentiate it.
Magic-LED - This is written on the LED circuit board. There are no other identifying marks anywhere but on the power supply board.
162 - the number of LED's in it.
DIP switch 10 puts it in DMX mode. On my unit, switches 6 and 7 behave weird (former water intrusion) so I have to assign around them. Yes, it really does use 14 DMX channels; I had to figure it all out. Wattage is verified at full brightness by a device I have. Dimensions and weight are from the Scanic manual.
All-in-all, a fun light to play with. Amuses kids.
