’re able to fully utilise all of the pre-programmed shows and, most vitally, that strobe! At a metre long, these fixtures aren’t the smallest, but they’re lightweight ( just 5.35kg) and therefore easy to transport for us mobile DJs. The THUNDERLED Strobe RGB LED Bar is also fitted with clamps for easy connection to other bars, enabling you to build a long line of continuous lighting. In terms of power, you get PowerCon connectors with in and out for daisy chaining as well as 3-pin in and out for DMX.

Once I started using the lights and experimenting with colours, the main thing that struck me was just how vibrant and vivid the colours are. The light they produce is also incredibly bright, so don’t make the mistake of looking too closely! When I took my new additions out on the road, I used them as a wash effect behind my setup at a couple of weddings. Both units were linked via DMX cable and master-slave mode.

This gave a lovely colour change on the wall, whilst not taking up too much space. AFX LIGHT THUNDERLED AFX LIGHT THUNDERLED I tested the lights in a range of standard settings and found that they added another dimension to the room and the music. Attached to upright poles on truss, or perhaps to your DJ booth, I’m confident the THUNDERLED Strobe RGB LED Bar will fill any room with stunning light and effects. Whilst I didn’t get to try this, I do think they’d be brilliant for placing along the top row of a truss cross-section, hiding that part of your setup whilst creating a stunning visual focus point.

By taking advantage of DMX control, you could also use them to light a room in a more subtle way for cake cuts, first dances and other spotlight moments. Watching recent stage shows, it’s obvious that lighting bars like this are being used more often by lighting designers – and AFX Light’s THUNDERLED Strobe RGB LED Bar can add another dimension to any lightshow. It’s well worth considering how these in lights could play a part in your own show; no doubt your audiences will appreciate your creativity and the added atmosphere these lights can generate.
