Colourful lighting on a budget

Stairville LED PAR 56 black 151 LEDs RGB features a classic PAR can design and offers a rich colour mix of red, green, and blue with an exceptionally wide area of illumination, all at a sensationally affordable price. In terms of size, the Par 56's housing offers a good middle ground between Par 36 and Par 64 spotlights, and this tried-and-tested model is also easy to operate. Unlike spots with a split-yoke bracket, which are suitable for floor mounting, the PAR 56 is designed to project light from walls, trusses, or stands onto small stages, dance floors, or bar areas. Robustly built and with a colour filter frame included in the scope of delivery, it is certainly well worth considering.

The desired operating mode can be set using the dip switches at the back of the Stairville LED PAR 56. This simple, menu-free operation gives users the choice between automatic colour changes, fades with adjustable fade time, a sound-to-light mode that is perfect for parties, and DMX operation on five channels via an optional lighting controller. Whichever effect is selected, however, the colours will flood the room with a 45° wide beam angle. The power consumption of the fanless spotlight is 16W, with the mains cable permanently connected to the metal housing. Three-pin DMX cables, available as accessories, can be connected to the input and output under the dip switches as required, so that colour mixes can be created with the unit as the master/slave or with a small lighting console, just like the professionals.

For beginners and smart spenders

Those who are new to lighting design can use the Stairville LED PAR 56 spotlight to create sweeping colour effects for small locations such as restaurants. Bar owners looking for an attractively priced lighting setup can create the desired ambience with the device's sound-to-light mode, and the fanless design ensures near-silent colour mixing in DMX mode, which is ideal for small theatre performances. The unit's robust metal housing also makes it perfect for house parties, live performances, and taking on the road. With the hard-wired mains cable, it ensures reliable operation and, thanks to its DMX connections, puts a wide range of colour mixing options at the user's fingertips.

About Stairville

Since it was introduced in 1994, Thomann's in-house brand Stairville has been a permanent fixture in the store's product range. The brand primarily focuses on the field of stage lighting in general, and its products include spotlights, moving lights, and theatre lighting as well as smoke machines, electronic control systems, and every other accessory you can think of. Thomann constantly has around 1,600 Stairville products on offer, and the figures speak for themselves: Statistically, one in every fifteen Thomann customers owns at least one Stairville product. Incidentally, the name "Stairville" is also a catchy English translation of "Treppendorf", the town that Thomann calls home.

Create worlds of colour

Anyone looking to create a multi-spot setup can easily and affordably install up to five PAR 56s on the Stairville LED Power & DMX Bar, which helpfully supplies power to all connected spots from a single source. A setup of this kind can enable the lighting of the back and sidedrops of a small stage, and what is more, the various output colours of the spot groups can be controlled and assigned different DMX start addresses with the Stairville DDC-12 LCD DMX controller. Those looking to use multiple PAR 56 spotlights with a lighting console can easily connect them using the Stairville PDC3CC DMX Cable 1.0m 3 pin and, to ensure that this works smoothly, a Stairville XLR 3-pin DMX end plug should be inserted into the output of the last spotlight.

Good for the money
Anonymous 16.05.2014
I purchased four of these in 2006, and a further 8 since (total 12). These PARs are good value for money for getting some coloured light in to small areas, and cannot be beaten for the price. However, for larger areas, or more serious use than discos or bands in small rooms, they fall short - as you would expect.

Their design was changed slightly after 2006 to give a taller yoke (this is the bracket they hang on). The extra length means you can now angle the unit straight down without the DMX cables getting in the way. Early units also suffered from dry solder joints, meaning certain strings of LEDs would stop working. This can be solved by taking the panel out and finding the 'dead' LED - either re melting the solder, or bridging the LED out. If under Thomann's 3 year warranty period, they will send new panels.

Stand alone and sound to light modes are useful.

Down sides:
-The PARs will only address up to DMX 128. So you can't use them with higher addresses.
-They are not very bright
-The beam angle is not very wide. Using frost to diffuse the beam reduces the light output
-The colour frame is meshy, and that further reduces the light output
-Over time, the yoke bolts and cable gland can work loose and will need tightening
-Dimming curve is poor
-As there are lots of LED sources, you get colour fringing/shadows
-You cannot make a decent white
-There are 4 fuses behind the LED panel which protect the LEDs. Sometimes these can blow, taking out a whole colour, but can be replaced.

However, these are designed and built to a price, and for that price they are good units, and cheap enough to be abused and thrown in and out of car boots!

Handy for static lighting, not recommended for sound activated
Mark616 27.07.2013
I have four of these lights. I am a DJ for modern jive partner dancing, with an audience of between 50 and 150. I use these lights to light up the floor from a height of about 1.5m, with static colour.

The brightness of an individual unit is enough to shine about 2 meters. I use four together on a lighting T-bar, the combined brightness lights up an area of around 5m by 5m.

The functions are minimal. You can set static colours using red/green/blue at 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% intensities. There is Auto Fade which fades between six colours over a configurable time. There is also Auto Change which is sound activated, this is not very good at the volume I play music: even at the lowest sensitivity the lights change too fast.

There are more colours available in DMX mode, which I haven't used.

Great Value
Darryl 21.08.2013
I love these things. For the amount of money I spent on them they are great. Easy to use and set up. I have had great time programming with them. The light they give off is great for the small venues the band plays in and gives the improved visual effect when playing to help add to the atmosphere. For the larger events for gigs with an audience 4 of 5 hundred, 8 of the lights is not enough.

I love how easy they are to control with a DMX controller. As an on stage lighting sollution I wish the 8th dip switch wasn't an overide switch and could be used for addressing for DMX. However being able to use the switches to set single colour for family Haloween parties last year was ok but felt this could have been done as easily with a DMX controller. Also think the first and 5th channels are a bit of a waste. Think they only need to colour mix RGB. Think three channels would have been fine can't say I have ever used channels 1 and 5 with any degree of satisfaction.

Feel the build quality is a little short with screws undoing themselves over time. Even the entry point for the power cables have unscrewed. Though they are 5 years old now.

Overal happy with the product just a little sad that you can only use up to 25 cans on a single DMX universe. Despite the down sides my intension is to purchase more of these.

Astounding value & reliability
Chanter62 23.06.2022
I bought four of these units seven years ago to provide a wash from the rear of the stage at my venue. I can say with complete honesty they have been one of the best buys I have ever made for the venue lighting. Unbelievably good value and reliability, the cost alone is astoundingly low for what you are getting. Whilst other more expensive units have had failures of one kind or another these units have carried on with all of the LEDs working, they just keep doing what they are meant to. They come it a decent sturdy metal chassis too so easily take the odd knock when rigging and de-rigging.
If I have one criticism of the design it is that you can "loop through" the DMX control but you cannot "loop through" the power. If the design was changed by having and in and out for power that would be very helpful. At present that means that each it is powered and cabled individually. Even if this put an extra 15% to 20% on the purchase cost the value would still be there and the difference in their ease of use would be increased 10 times over.
Overall I highly recommend these units, they are a no nonsense robust design with longevity, value and effectiveness. You cannot really ask for more at this price point.
