ok actualy i was talking with elation today and it looks like there is an error of some kind there in FACT is no 7 ch. configuration for this unit. i apologize. i figured since there was an offical trait cut sheet then it had to be true. i don't work directly in l.a. with the rest of the guys im out in WI. and sometimes get out of the loop on things and i haven't had the chance to really demo the DLED 36's. i apologize for any confusion due in my part. elation will be taking the 7ch trait sheet down soon. once again sorry. peace! jingles.

So i guess in the long run i will not find my answer here. How about elation pro you were going to give it a try what did you find?

elatin pro and a bunch of the other people from elation and american dj are now in orlando for this week's LDI. so you may or may not get a response from him sometime this week. also it never hurts to shoot a call to our service department and there is a toll free number. give them a call see if they have a Dled they can use while your talking to them and see if they see the problem too. best regards. jingles.

I am glad to hear that they are at LDI i sent my guy to talk with them directly at the booth. A little face time might help.

oh ya i wanted to go but couldn't. ya have your guy ask for mikey g or jon lopez, they are both cool dudes and should help you out. also have ur guy take pics! supposed to be a BIG elation booth. tons of lights. at least 14 impression leds alone!! peace! jingles.

So it seems that it is what it is with this unit. No help from the staff at LDI and I called tech support and was told that this is waht they intended the FX to look like. So if you are looking for a unit that has preprogram or stand alone effects then this one is not it.

you know PU i always liked the challenge of making and programming and editing my own programs. the DLED 36's are nice lights and you can program them easy but if there not for you then they are not for you. peace! sincerely jingles.

Hey guys, I'm back.. and I tested the DLED 36 at LDI for PU.
It turns out that every internal program has a strobe scene.

I'll bring this up to R&D and see if they can make some simple color scrolling scenes. If this is possible it may be a simple chip swap.

Best regards,

John and Ron ,
Thank you for your help on this problem. I am excited to hear that this might have a simple solution. I know that it is hard to please everyone with pre program effects but I feel strongly that this was a design flaw, and not just my picky personality trying to have my cake and eat it to. Given the time I would often write my own effects but when it comes to the people I am renting these units to just having them change colors without the strobing would make life allot easer. We had demos of many manufactures of LEDs over a 3 month period and compared brightness, color, and ease of use and for the price point the elation design 36 beat all. They have quickly become the work horse for many of our events, but would be even more useful if you could plug them in and walk away. I think the unit is great and I am just trying to contribute to a better product in the end, and at the same time protect my large investment into a up and coming lighting manufacturer

PU..

I noticed this in the internal programs as well a when we were first selling them, but didn't pay much attention to it.
However you mentioned setting them and walking away..
I have used them in stand alone, color scrolling settings in the past.. without a controller, and did not get the strobing flash.
Let me see if I can find that setting for you so you can set them and walk away.

I think it is program 8 that does not flash

Any word from R&D

Nope.. nothing yet..
I found the setting I use for stand alone color mix is 1,3 and 7.
This creates a slow color fade.

any word from R&D

R&D is going to leave it as is.
The response was that color mix 1,3 and 7 work good.

Best regards,
