Lightning is scary stuff.

I can't see a benefit to having the grille over the front of the lamp. I haven't seen any other companies do that with their LED PARs. Otherwise it's probably a fine lamp, but have you compared prices to American DJ or Chauvet?

you can remove that grille.
this one is cheaper than other brands, don't know if its as good as the ADJ or Chauvet, but since i just want to start on the 'business' i think its really good. About the software, i have one from ADJ that is called onDMX (its really a good SW). I prefer SW because i think that the PC gives me more possibilities about channels and that, but the problem is really how to pass the signal to the cans, because the interface is too expansive, some even more than a DMX table with 8 faders.

I don't get what your saying?
I know you can download various softwares from different manufactures but the interface/dongle is where they get you for the big money.
So if you want to use a software based system then you either have to buy the interface/dongle from Martin, AmDJ, Chauvet, ect.....
Or you can use an enttec interface that will support some of the freeware that is out there.
I use Freestyler,there are others. I don't know how much you wanna do with your lighting set-up.But I want to be able to run my lighting while still playing and have some syncing abilities while doing so from stage thats why I use that particular freeware.
Heres a picture of a stage I'm doing for a buddys band at the end of this month.

so, i have the same SW that the guy in this video, that means that only that specific interface will work, other like that enttec open dmx usb won't?
now i'm confused too

Yup you got it. Unless you buy their interface (AMDJ) nothing else will work. So if you want to do it on the inexpensive side you'll need to use a freeware like Freestyler and an enttec interface.
I've been using an enttec open interface for 5 years now without any problems.

so, is that Freestyler that you use is good and works with that enttec open dmx usb interface?
