We have those exact same Beam 230s in our church and they run really well. Shehds also sells some Beam 230s that are slightly different but in terms of the light itself it's the same (only differences are a rotary knob and not the buttons on the side and a powercon out). We've had a bit of trouble with them but I think those are more in terms of power and not the fixture itself. Very informational video! Edit: at the time of writing this, we are having a problem with one of our 4 beam 230s. The light is out just like in the video

Hey, are they beam spot and wash? Or are they just advertise that?

Onyx for the win! I've been a user every since it was Martin M series and used as Martin MPC for many years and now that it's Onyx, I still use it every weekend on events with my Microsoft surface pro.

Good day, I’m new to ONYX and when I patch the lights I can seem to get them to turn on, I think I’m missing a step. Do you have a video on this?

I don't really have a video on ONYX yet. Thanks for the idea! Now depending on your light fixture you might have to turn on Intensity, strobe, just a color, shutter open. If you really want to get more info on ONYX check out this youtube channel. www.youtube.com/@learnonyx-learnstagelighti1463/videos

Ya know the main issue i have with these cheaper lights is that either they are just straight in cable, or in this case Powercon which issent the end off the world but id prefer true 1, And that they all are 3-pin which makes em a pain to use together with any kind setup that uses 5 pin like MA2, I have 2 pairs of Solena 12w Minipars, and no matter what i do with the fixture profile everything happens on a single DMX channel instead of across 8 DMX footprints as supposed. Not sayin all of them are like this but thats my main problems with these cheap ebay lights what not

Hey I actually picked up some lights from you last year I think for our company. Some beam 230s maybe. Yes most lights are made in China, but American engineers normally go to china for quality control oversite. I dont know if that happens with Shehds. We had a bad batch of lights, but this new batch looks great so far. We have more on order.
