I tear down a ripoff of the Martin 300 spotlight model DMX stage light. With a look at the different mechanisms and electronics inside and a run through of its different functions. I also repair the unit and do some maintenance on it.
The majority of stage lights use stepper motors. I have not seen any that do not. I would recommend a light grease. Would not recommend a spray like WD40 or Q20
@@ChristopherdeVilliers Hi. I'd still really like some help from my other comment, searching for a good distro, recently got a light that has l620 twist lock, did a few hour sof rsearch and nothing except f or twist lock plugs, I mean an actual distro that I could plug multiple fixtures into. i know you said you use 240v 50hz, but I'm wondering what *exactly* you are using, like what brand and like I said, maybe some inexpensive ones? I'd really appreciate, thanks.
Christopher de Villiers thank you so much, do you know what type of grease (brands) are typically good for this application? I know there are so many types and mixing them is bad so I want to be able to identify it.
i have the Mac Krypton 250 and i get the RGER error the magnetic indexing circuit malfunction ( e-g sensor defective or magnet missing) did you know where is that sensor? Located?
Hi Sonido, firstly I have to state that I am not at all familiar with that unit, but all of these machines have a mechanism to index where the unit is throughout its movement. The unit I had just used a switch but better units will probably have opto or magnetic sensors. See if Martin have a service manual available for your unit. It might have a section for indexing troubleshooting. Then I'd recommend you figure out if the sensor is faulty. Sometimes a good cleaning will fix the problem. Sometimes not. I will read up a bit and respond later
Hi Lyle, we use 240V 50Hz where I live. I think you can try ebay but I honestly have no idea where you can get ones for the north american electrical system.
@@ChristopherdeVilliers which one exactly? I'm getting some martin mac's and pretty scared. also wondering if I can plug the distor int oa surge protector? Can't hardwire anything.
Well actually yes you can it’s possible cause I did it on a chines knock off and it worked it wasn’t as bright as the standard 575 lamp but it got quieter
Hi I also thought about doing something like that but honestly, I think it is just too much effort. You would also need to get a very bright AND GOOD QUALITY LED and driver. At the end of the day I would just buy something form Chauvet or ADJ that is already LED. I tried using a 50W LED instead of the HMI bulb and it was so dim and the colours were awful.
