In this video I take a look at more of these 'cheap' LED mini moving head washes from china off eBay. This was a set of 4 units I bought with 'UKING' branding and described as a 105W RGBW unit - however this is somewhat misleading since they have 7x 10W LEDs - making it 70W of light output, and 105W total mains power consumption from the wall (this includes the motors, fans and other electronics)...
Throughout this video I unbox them and show the included accessories first, then proceed to examine for any defects or bad quality control. As in my previous video on the 15W mini spot moving heads I also take things a step further and disassemble one of them to examine the internal components and build quality. Then I re-assemble the unit to test them out, talk a little about the menu settings and do a quick demo video.
I am somewhat disappointed with the constant strobe effect during high volume sound to light operation, but I did plan on using these controlled remotely via Freestyler DMX software on a laptop, but it would have been nice to have the option of using them sound to light standalone for smaller events without the constant flashing strobe effect.
The summary in my opinion is they are of reasonable quality for the money. However do consider the lack of proper threading (inserts in plastic) for the 'mounting hardware' and safety chain points. I can't say I would be comfortable mounting these above peoples heads without some modifications in this area, which I do plan on making changes to them - internal plating of some kind to reinforce the fixing points perhaps.
I made a video on setting them up linked together here: (coming soon)
Also a 4-unit full sound-to-light demo video here: (coming soon)
