Monoprice COB LED Ellipsoidal - White | 3200k, 26 Degree, 200W, Interchangeable lens, Manual focus - Stage Right Series

Did what we needed: face light for our church video broadcast. Could have been 5 stars if not for the halo at the beam edge. Great for the price.

I have purchased 8 devices January 2020. After a year of very light use (COVID 19 cuts number of the shows :)) one device starts blinking ~10-15% of it's lighting output: looks like part of COB LED matrix fails. Where to get COB LED replacement? Big question....

Really impressive for the price. Too many problems to make it a 5. Some have a noticeable blink when first turn on and tech can?t help. I also have one that is now outside warranty and tech can?t help that stays on at 10% even when DMX says off.

These are great! Cost, WOW! Brightness, WOW!. Ease of use and function, WOW!. Seriously, we have been searching, for a couple years, for the best Leko for the lowest price and this is it. After a small test order we quickly found that these are, hands down, a better tool for our rental stock for these reasons: 1. these run on 200watts of power. i.e. 8 units + on a single circuit! 2. these are brighter than our 750watt lekos. 3. these don't have an exterior heat sink. The chassis is cool to touch when on and can be focused without burning your hands. YEAH! Finally. Yes, the lens is a lenticular "plastic" lens. this helps keep the weight down. Yes, this unit is BRIGHTER than our 750watt HPL/EHG lamps NO, you wont burn your hands trying to focus it. The LED engine and power supply are housed inside the a metal chassis that is fan cooled and doesn't get too hot to touch. The control is easy via the on board buttons for manual use or DMX addressing. Simple stand alone use! Conclusion. We converted our rental stock to these. Love 'em. We have sold dozens to a local high school and large church. Very, very satisfied. We will be buying more! Statewide Productions, Ceres, CA

bought 2nd light, best light for the price anywhere, very bright equal to a etc source four jr. enough to light a band at 50ft but the 2nd one like the first hand fingerprints and sticky stuff on the lens, are these b stock or repacks for the price? again nowhere in manual where to install gobo holder

I bought 4 and the measured CRI was 95.9 (RA) at 3123K. I have included R1-96.8 R2-98.0 R3-97.7 R4-96.8 R5-96.7 R6-97.0 R7-94.9 R8-89.2 R9-74.9 R10-94.4 R11-97.2 R12-87.9 R13-97.3 R14-98.1 R15-94.1 I noticed that you have to assign dmx512 channels at least 2 away from the last channel so they operate in dimmer mode without it thinking it is being controlled to blink.

This light is great as a starter light if you cant afford the bigger name brands. Ive purchased 6 of these and ive had them for over 2 years so heres a few things to note; The optics really suck. I'm not a lighting snob, but this is pretty bad, theres no way to get a crisp sharp edge on this light. even at its sharpest its still blurry. what this means is that your gobos will look horrible on the edges. even with a doughnut in place it doesn't help. I initially thought this was due to the fact that the lens that comes with the unit is all plastic event the actual lens element isn't actually glass but plastic. So i swapped it out for an ETC lens and it still was really blurry. so its only good for a stage wash. no gobos or crisp circles. Also the lens doesn't accept standard gel frames. the frame holder slot is extremely large and I've yet to find something that fits. second is the light output. I havent metered the draw yet but something tells me its not quite 200 watts as the light output leaves something to be desired, so youll need to purchase more units to get the coverage and intensity needed. As far as durability. 50 percent of this light is plastic so I wouldn't take this light on tour. installs only. The U bracket knobs constantly break because they're made from a cheap plastic. the lens tube feels like a fall from the right distance would crack the housing. The rotating tube also plastic feels like its one turn from falling off. and lastly one of the 6 lights I have has died after two years. It turns off shortly after powering on. I've contacted Monoprice and since I'm out of warranty they cant help me. They don't sell parts and wont send me a replacement. In closing this light is great for churches or venues on a budget that instal the light in a permanent position. Its served us for basic stage washes where crisp optics and fancy lighting weren't needed. otherwise look elsewhere. In the photos attached I've compared it to a chauvet ovation ellipsoidal

Works great. No issues with either of the two units I bought. Even though the lens portion is plastic its surprisingly good focus for these cheap lens.

Needs special filter to not allow blur when gobos are used ..
