I'd like to use this as a spot light for a comedy show. Anyone use it as a spot light?

I have a bunch of these. They are good for a little up lighting to a wall or curtain. No good as a spot. that is for sure.

No, itʻs more of a wash. It doesnʻt have one of those tight, sharp beams you could use as a spot. Not much throw either. I was going to suggest the American DJ Micro Wash. Check the video out on YouTube. Itʻs 7 1-watt LEDʻs, but I just saw Sivart832z suggestion. That seems to be a pretty good option, and brighter.

I really don't think one would light much. We use it to light a aluminum Christmas tree works well, but not great. would work well as a disco light color changer in a multi-light set-up, I believe.

I don't feel that this light is bright enough, white enough, or sharp enough to be used as a spot. Despite the P36 name and "pin-spot" claims, I use my P36's as wash lights only.If you're looking for an LED spot but can't spend the $250-$500 for a proper one, the best solution I've found is to look at the 15W LED gobo projectors. If the venue is small and dark enough, these can give decent results and actually look like a spot. Find one with zoom capabilities and you can even change the spot size and hardness of the edge.

That is exactly what we use it for, as well as boxing and football games! It's so much fun! Sadly, at only 2000 lumens, it does require darkness. Set-up happens @dusk and shows start after dark(looking forward to changing back to standard time...summer movies start quite late! Next projector I buy will be 3000+ lumens for that reason. It does work wonderfully though, friends are always impressed. One thing to note, sound it a bit lacking so we hook up our Bose Sound Dock for booming sound using "audio out" (RCA cable with headset plug on other end). Hope that's helpful.

There really are no options, you just plug it in, but I am not familiar with the other Pinspot. I used mine to light up a disco ball for a party. It isn't that bright, and the light doesn't spread out. Seems to me you might need a narrow range spot light, like ones used in photography. Just my opinion.

The light is focused, yet soft. I use it at my laptop. As a small spotlight at close distance I think it would work if the room is sufficiently dark. I'm trying to imagine how you are going to set it up. As a foot light aimed from the floor or an intervening table. In either case you should not expect good results in a bright room or from a distance. I guess I didn't answer, did I?

It depends on the distance. At 10' the spot is about 10", at 20' about 20" and so on. It has the brightness to do it though. Hope that helps

no, i dont think it would. the light is only about 40watts and acts as more or less as a spot lite.

Keith said spot. I think they have to much spread to be spot. They light up a pretty large area despite being mounted about 6' off the ground in my application.

I've just always used the electronic lighting button. But I think you can stick a match through a hole if you really want to.

Although this is a great light... I use 2 of them in my DJ light show, the LEDs project around the outside...all the way around. So the lights are not projecting up or down but spins (sequenced) on the outer edge. If you put it under a table top it would just shine under the top...if you get what I'm saying.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want.I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

This light can be used to create that atmosphere, but you have to use it with a dimmer pack. Alone, the light is not DMX compatible. If you want to control from a DMX lighting control panel, a dimmer pack is the only way to accomplish that. Thanks.

I haven't tried that but we lost electric power not long ago, and it certainly lit up our living room. We've only used it once, and we are very satisfied with it.I think it would be bright enough but again, I haven't tried it for that purpose.

No and I don't think it is a good Idea with Gold Stars 92111805 LED Bulb for 2 Reasons. 1st LEDS are little spot lights, so you get a blotchy light pattern. 2nd reason is that you lose several TV channels with these LEDs when you get TV through the air (not cable).

Well David, that is a good question. I have a light meter, but not where I have this equipment. What would you like to use this to illuminate? I may be able to answer based on your application. The range of color is amazing and it has worked perfect for anything where I have used this item. I have been quite pleased and I was trying to imagine the brightest setting and I can say that the light this strip throws is quite impressive. Sorry I cannot be exact with the lumens but If I knew what you would be using this for I could tell you if it would work, possibly.

Mmm... I don't think it is intended for that application. It's not like is not bright enough, but maybe a bright room would be too much.

I saw it on here for a little over $5.00. AC plug for spot light. Good Luck!

That's what I use it for... Works great. Just make sure you have a usb on your TV to power the light because you won't have much room to play with on the light. My Sammy tv happens to have the usb on the side towards the bottom of the TV so it works great
