There are 4 fuses behind the LED panel which protect the LEDs. As there are lots of LED sources, you get colour fringing/shadows Over time, the yoke bolts and cable gland can work loose and will need tightening The colour frame is meshy, and that further reduces the light output Using frost to diffuse the beam reduces the light output So you can't use them with higher addresses. The PARs will only address up to DMX 128. Stand alone and sound to light modes are useful. If under Thomann's 3 year warranty period, they will send new panels. This can be solved by taking the panel out and finding the 'dead' LED - either re melting the solder, or bridging the LED out. Early units also suffered from dry solder joints, meaning certain strings of LEDs would stop working. The extra length means you can now angle the unit straight down without the DMX cables getting in the way. Their design was changed slightly after 2006 to give a taller yoke (this is the bracket they hang on). However, for larger areas, or more serious use than discos or bands in small rooms, they fall short - as you would expect. These PARs are good value for money for getting some coloured light in to small areas, and cannot be beaten for the price. I purchased four of these in 2006, and a further 8 since (total 12).
