Purchased 8 used "professional show lighting" mini moving washes to add my show and since day 1 they have this random flicker. No rhyme or reason to when it happens. Mostly when the lights are sitting, on.
I've completely narrowed it down to the software - using all DMX cables, terminators, optical splitter, power is fine. I am running all kinds of lights and these are the only ones that flicker. Now, I had to use the Blizzard QWash ssl profile for programming, which I think could be an issue, but no true profile exists for the fixture. The Blizzard profile is almost identical to the channel structure.
I am at the point where I am about to get rid of the lights its that annoying (and the fact that those are the only ones flickering and it is ruing my show).
When I close myDMX and the lights are still sitting, on, they do NOT flicker. As soon as I open the software, the flickering begins.
Can anyone help or has anyone experienced this?
I realize they are cheap overseas lights but honestly they are the exact same light at the Blizzard.
Oh, and I bought them from a guy AT a festival, on site, and he was using dmx software (not ADJ) and they did not flicker at all, so it is NOT the light.
My other lights in the universe include:
SCX-500s
Elation Design Spot 250s (x6)
Chauvet Intimidator Spot 350s (x4)
Slim Pars x12
No issues with ANY of these. ONLY the mini moving washes.
They are nice to have around for smaller bar gigs, but I cannot continue to use them with the flickering.
I can supply video examples of the flickering if need be (not sure how to post them on here)
THanks for any help in advance.
