This is amazing for what I paid for it. Like others have said, the build quality is poor. I bought two and one of them the header peeled off of the pcb so DMX wouldn't work. 10 minutes with the soldering iron and it is better than new.
The "instructions" are incorrect. By instructions, I mean the "English" side of the 1/2 a sheet of paper. While the modes are correct, the DMX control is wrong. Both of mine work as follows:
CH1: Maximum brightness of all colors
-------------------------------------
0: All Off
1: Dimmest
255: Brightest
CH2: Red
-------------------------------------
0: Off
1: Dimmest
255: Brightest
CH3: Green
-------------------------------------
0: Off
1: Dimmest
255: Brightest
CH4: Blue
-------------------------------------
0: Off
1: Dimmest
255: Brightest
CH5: Strobe
-------------------------------------
0-9: No Strobe (constant on)
10: Fastest strobe
255: Slowest strobe
CH6: Motor Position
-------------------------------------
0-5: No Motion (stops where it is)
6-127: Absolute Position
128: Slowest back and forth
255: Fastest back and forth
This would have really helped me because the instructions say that the first channel is the strobe and to turn it off, you send 0. Well, that actually turns off all the colors so I thought the DMX wan't working at all.

First off, my disco ball showed up on time, but the blue light did not work. When only the green and red lights work, it sort of makes everything look like Christmas, but that was okay, because my disco ball had arrived, and it felt like Christmas.I bought the disco ball to put in my Burning Man trailer so the Burnergirl and I can rage in Black Rock City this fall. Last night we decided to give the X-mas disco ball a test run in the trailer. HOLY MOTHER OF BRIGHT LIGHTS!!! I'm still seeing spots! I think I burned green and red spots into my retinas, and now EVERYTHING looks like Christmas. Be warned: do NOT use this in a small enclosed 15 foot box on wheels. It's just a bad idea. We donned some safety glasses (safety third, of course) and took the Xmas disco ball outside in my driveway. It lit up my driveway, the side of my house, the side of the neighbor's house, and all of the 100-foot high trees in the neighborhood. While we were admiring the yuletide glow, a car came screaming around the corner, being driven by an intoxicated 20-something, who was "Looking for the party." The party is right here, dude. Because I have an X-mas disco ball.
A few minutes later I tried to hang the disco ball on the side of the trailer, but failed miserably, dropped the X-mas disco ball, broke the dome, and the party was over. But hell, I had so much fun that I'm ordering another one. But this time I'm going to put it on TOP of the trailer. That way I can always find my way home because the thing is brighter than a lighthouse. But this time I want the blue light too.
Highly recommended, but made of cheap plastic, so keep it away from small children and klutzes like me.
Best Deals for Mini LED RGB Crystal Magic Ball Effect light DMX Disco DJ Stage
This is by far the most impressive DMX-controllable light in this price range. In fact, you can't really find *any* other DMX controllable light for this price. With 6 channels of DMX control (including full control over the position of the rotation motor, allowing for some very cool programming), 6 SUPER bright LEDs, and several auto-run and sound-activated programs, this is a very impressive little light. It's great for sound-active party lighting, computer controlled DJ lighting setups, AND it even makes an awesome mood light, if you set it to the slowest setting (it makes very relaxing smoothly rotating beams of light this way).I guess the reason it's so cheap though, is because it is quite cheaply made, and it shows. I purchased 5 lights total, and 3 of them had problems. On one, the cooling fan didn't work, causing it to heat up extremely hot after running it for 30 minutes or so. On another, the motor would "catch" resulting it very "jerky" motion of the beams. And on the third light, the blue leds would flicker when they were supposed to be steady on.
So in other words, "you get what you pay for." Basically, if you're willing to risk getting a non-perfectly-functioning unit, you can't beat the price for a fully DMX capable, very cool light.
Honest reviews on Mini LED RGB Crystal Magic Ball Effect light DMX Disco DJ Stage
Just purchased this LED effect light and I am very impressed with it. As stated in other reviews, It's larger than expected and the amount of light it puts out is AMAZING! Update 3/5/2013 Longevity it seems, was not in the cards for this effect light. After the 1st week, the cooling fan and mechanism that moves the LED's stopped working. Also, the external mic input was blocked by a piece of plastic making it unusable. Just returned it for a refund. thanks Amazon! Maybe I'll buy something made of "METAL" next time.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Mini LED RGB Crystal Magic Ball Effect light DMX Disco DJ Stage
Lasted about 60 days until the red lights went out then it stopped doing all of the different light sequences. This is the second one, the first one I had to take apart and put a screw back in so the lights would turn. Very poor quality.
