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,

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.

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

I guess that is what i was waiting for it is a shame that 7 of the 8 programs are bad and that is that. I will be ordering the next twenty units sometime this week only i will be going with the Colorado1 from chauvet. I have ten of this units and the feature sets and service are way better and the price is $100+ better then the design 36. I am also starting to have problems with my design 60 units and will be shoping for another brand to complete my need for 15 more units.
Anything new on these fixtures?
I have a client interested in a handful of them for his sanctuary.

i would reccomend using a controller for these lights as the internal programs are not goin to be changed however there is a pleasing setting for a color scroll.

Guess what, without letting me know our R&D has new software chips that remove the strobing from the programs. Now only 2 programs have the strobing function.
Let me know how many you will be needing.

This is very good news. I was on the fence as to whether to buy more because of the strobing. Will new ones shipped have the chip installed or included?
New ones will have upgraded chips.
Just make sure you comment that on your order, just in case.

Wow this is great. I have not moved forward on my next order of LED lighting yet so this news also helps get me off the fence. I would need 20 chips to replace old units. Now if you tell me that I can get a smaller beam angle with the units and some diffusion filters for my Design 60 I might just hug you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
I would also like to add that i have found a few issues with my chauvet Colorado 1 units and was not willing to buy more of them yet. I do need a unit with a narrow beam like they have
Hi PU.. Believe me, I am also glad our R&D department jumped on it. I just wished they would have told me, instead of telling me they couldn't.
We will have lens kits for them as well, but it looks like a 15 and 45 degree kit.
I know they are working on an 8 or 12 degree lens kit, but nothing yet.
FYI.. Price on the DLED 36 went down a few dollars so you'll be able to get a better price, and we are introducing the DLED 108IP, which is a DLED 36 with K2 Leds, and IP65 rated.
Send me an e-mail for the 20 chips you need to John@elationlighting.com and i'll work on getting those chips to you.

Thats good to hear. If they've not been ordered today, I plan on picking up 24 of these and a pair of the moving head versions from my rep. Jeff Mathis.
