New lights are not recognised by coloursource 20

Hello, today we recieved 2 par led lights and 2 moving head led lights from China to add on our church.

But unlucky the lights have nog been recognised by our coloursource 290 console.

On the lights is no type or brand, so we don't know  how to identilfy the lights.

Is here anybody who can give us some advise how to make these lights working?

Thanks

Parents

  • By identifying you mean figuring out the dmx parameters. Or RDM isn’t finding them?  The best thing to do is look in the manual if there is one. Followed by saving your show and starting a new blank one. Dummy patch dimmers 1 to like 40 and slowly go through raising each fader one by one and wrote down what it does. Sadly channel one may not be the intensity channel. And sometimes another channel may cause the entire fixture to have no output. Example if dmx 0 is the iris fully closed then it has to be above 0 while intensity is also above zero. Also post a photo of the lights please.  For the pars we have generic profiles for various standard led pars under folder generic that will likely work for the knock off pars. Hope this helps.

    Hi Chris, Thanks for your answer.

    The manual say nothing, except SHEDS.  on the light it say only: SHEHDS

    RDM will not recognise the 4 lights.

    I tried some brand of lights, but than the lights are not good working. hey have an onw life so to say.

    Tonight I will go to the church to try everything you tell me, and make some photo's as well

    In our Colorsource library is no chapter for SHEHDS.

    I will try to update our controller, but I didnot see the SHEHD in the new library

    greetings from the Netherlands, Ries
