Hi All,

I have a issue that I am having with creating my own fixtures for these lights (i'll post pics when I get home)

I have been able to use the Generic Chinese 7 channel for 36x1W LED for the 3rd party one with a slight issue and that is the lights I have are 8 channel but these are only set up for 7 and its missing the Dimmer Channel and the Sound Activated function also that is missing.

I have also got the Beamz LED white Pars and I have been quite lucky with these as I have been able to get mostly everything working apart from 2 thing that is annoying me and that is the simple thing of the On Off of the light, I can use a slider but I want to use the button and also there is 3 channels that can be used for groups of leds to be used but I can't get them to work either.


can someone help in anyway at all, I will post any pics, fixture files or manuals when I get home but I just thought I'd post this now while its bugging my head in and need it sorted asap for a festival of remembrance.

Hi gazza8uk, I think it will be to late for your festival, but if you did not sort it out by yourself maybe these hints can help:

• The generic PAR file looks good. You added the 8th channel and adjusted the intensity channel number. So everything should work fine, maybe excluding the macros if you did not adjust them. There (macro tab) you can add the sound function, if not already included. Just adjust the DMX channel and value found in the macros table. You can delete everything there you don't need, and of course add macros if needed.
• You already added a value for lamp in the other fixture file. I'm not sure myself of the different implications using shutter, intensity and lamp, but you can try shutter instead or additional to lamp and use the button appearing in the lamp-(/shutter-/intensity)-window. You also can try to create a macro to set the dimmer/intensity value to 0 and 255 (and if you need, more variations) and use the option "show in" and then "lamp" to let FreeStyler show the lamp/intensity on/off buttons in that window.
