Stairville LED Vintage Bowl 50 RGBA

In the beginning I had mixed feelings ( before my purchase ), if these fixtures would be worth the money. I kept in mind that similar 40cm 'vintage' bowls also could be bought for only 29 euro ! ( discount brand I will not mention ) + a rgbw led remote controlled E27 lamp only for 3 euro. So I have a rgbw light for 33 euro ( 7-8 pcs for the same price ! )
Okay No dmx, but for decorational purposes 100% ok.

So, back to this fixture: compared to Showtecs overpriced Blaze lamps, this +50% cheaper light does what it's build for: looks great in combination with the 30cm version on a light or microphone stand - behind the DJ booth or behind the performer on a podium.
The output is just right and it produces warm 'velvet' colours.
Many compliments on this setup - out of the box setup - compared to regular par leds or four bars, which gets boring. These have the same functions with an extra dimension².
Would I buy these again: Yes !

notes:
- 50cm is really big and cool - 30cm looks very small next to its big brother, but in combination at different heights, top !
- Transportation is an issue to keep in mind. I mounted treaded blind rivets on the ceiling beams of my van/transportation vehicle and I mount the lights downwards with an M8 starbutton/bolt on the bracket. Easy fixation, no damage during transport because they are hanging 'in air'

These are large but look fantastic! The front mesh is flimsy, but my keyboard player reckons the look cooler if they have a few knocks/tears in the mesh! These are meant to be visual rather than provide light… so the light output is irrelevant; it’s sufficient for purpose. The construction is fair for the cost of the unit. DMX side is very standard and fit for purpose! The RGBA configuration enables some nice warm colours, there is an absence of white, but this was not a problem in my application! Poor quality “counterfeit “ power twist connectors provided on EU mains leads! Thomann supply the UK with a top quality cable with a Neutrik connector, which I really appreciate!

The past few years, I have bought a few of these, and built up a collection of these bowls, they are fantastic for stage use, with having used them for bands, acoustic acts, theatre and q&a style setups, really finishes off a lighting rig, with having that extra eye candy!

The light output on these, same with the RGBA colour mixing, are pretty good for the price point, and so is the build quality, and partnered with the thon case, and care, these have lasted for me, now having 6 of them.

Overall, a great light, which impressed me at the price point, and a really handy fixture to have when designing a lighting rig and flexible to how it can be rigged, thanks to being nice and lightweight.
