CHAUVET DJMini Kinta IRC LED Derby-Style Effect Light

I purchased this light a couple months ago and wanted to test it out fully and Live as an extra light effect during the opening introduction to a Las Vegas magic show that I dj for. And I must admit, this light has definately exceeded my expectations of what it brings to the show, considering on the price range. So far I've had no issues with anything on it's performance and features advertised. It also covers a very impressive and large amount of area with a wide range of different speeds and color combinations for being such a small and lightweight fixture. I Highly recommend this light, especially if you do not have or would rather not connect it to a dmx controller. I definately love the preprogrammed and voice/sound control option with the use of the ir remote. Also, if you are new to controlling your light through an IR remote just make sure that if you are using the remote to control the light, that there are no other stage or dj lights directly around it or you'll change those other light fixtures while trying to control this one. I am definately purchasing another one of the lights!!!

I have the light mounted on my wall. I also purchased the Chauvet IRC remote to go with it. I first used it with just my computer speakers with a small subwoofer, but now I have a behringer 1000w speaker on a stand, so the sensitivity and the way the lights react to the music is much much better. I did upload a HD video but the quality on Amazon was so bad, I took it down. Make sure you use a smoke machine to see the streams of light properly. You don't need nothing special if you're in a small room, just some cheap $25-30 machine. The remote allows you to go through all the individual colors, strobes, adjust sensitivity, speed etc. I mostly leave it on auto. Overall I love this light, definitely worth the price.

This is a great light for smaller parties up to half court sized gyms. It has some awesome beams and movement. The rotation is not continuous the motor can only rotate 1-1/2 times before having to go the other direction. They're four LED's Red, Green, Blue, and White. In auto mode these will dim and flash in time with your music. With a DMX you have more control over rotation speed, index, and color choices. When in DMX mode it is not possible to dim this fixture, which can be a trade off from using the normal presets. For those looking for a simple party light this is a great hit. When paired with other lights on DMX universe it makes a nice effect light bright enough for large groups/weddings. An options IR remote makes it possible to change colors and settings without a DMX controller.

The Mini Kinta is a great derby light, but the only thing missing is the ability to fade the lights. They're either on or off.

I'm really happy with this light! I was looking for something that would be easy to set up to add a little extra pizazz and atmosphere to small club/performance spaces. (We used it to effect light a 25'x15' dance floor in the back of a long dive bar, attached to a pole stand meant for construction/work lights; the beams were so strong, it carried the effect nicely to about mid-bar.) It has a wide angle of throw, so you can get a lot of coverage, but still have it angled slightly up to it doesn't blind people (If its above their heads). It was even able to be seen when the bar's regular lights were at about 60-70% up. The auto/sound feature worked well; it didn't have to be right against the speaker. I haven't tried controlling it in other ways. Since my purchase, I've seen several other mobile DJs with small set-ups that have this same light; their happy with theirs too.
