I recently purchased a brand new D-Light Sync Pak for home use and I think it's awesome! I do have one issue with it, though. It seems the mechanism inside squeaks. This occurs in both fixtures. That is, when the mechanism moves, it squeaks...like it needs lubrication or something.

The manual says there are no user-serviceable parts, inside, but it would seem to me that some silicone lubricant should fix the problem.

Has anyone had this issue, before? Any suggestions, besides making the music louder? LOL

Might be normal. Run them a bit longer and see if it "resolves" itself.

My moving head fixtures still make noise when moving, but I can tell it's the motors, which is what I would expect to hear. I don't think that's at all what you're talking about. Squeaking doesn't sound anything like motor noise.

I would contact service after running the fixtures some more. If they fixtures are still squeaking after more run-time, see what they recommend for any sort of lubricant or possible things to examine. Just have your fixtures nearby and maybe some basic tools to crack the fixture open under advisement.

The sound you are hearing from the light is normal, it is caused by the brushes rubbing along the shaft.

Im getting a dmx controller and want to control these lights using dmx. theres no dip switches to set the dmx channel, so how can they be controlled with dmx? are there dmx addresses set for each light? where do i find this info? thanks

Here is the manual: http://www.americandj.com/pdff...ht%20Sync%20220v.pdf

There no need to address this fixture. The D-light Sync is factory set to start at channel 1.

Channel 1 controls the Lamp on/off function which includes some strobing and channel 2 controls the motor movement.

i have 4 of them linked to one dmx cable and on a dmx operator, would i have to push 4 fixtures on? would each fixture equal 1 channel? how would that work

On the dmx operator the fixture one button is channels 1-16. So all you need to have on us fixture one button. And your first and second faders will control the lights.
