American DJ Stinger vs Stinger II Comparison (programmer's perspective)
In this video I'll be comparing the difference between the Stinger and Stinger II 3-in-1 lighting effects from American DJ. If your looking into these lights and are wanting to control them with DMX, I cover those differences here. What do you think of ADJ's Stinger II? Would you buy the first Stinger or the second one?

I Own Quite a bit of Old American Dj lighting units : *Lotus *Flash beam *Helicopter (2 six head units) *4 Head Oscillator *Rotoballs
great job !!! amazing result
The DJM400 is the only pioneer mixer i like. I have the K-limited version and i really enjoed and used it a lot a few years ago! Now i'm into other stuff but i still use it in some smaller events. I love what you did, the silver faceplate really looks dope! And it looks like a pretty hard job to do, congrats! Glad to see some people still use old CDJs too, that stuff was built to last!
Ridiculous comparison to be honest. Both clearly emit different wavelengths of light. If you want to make a valid comparison into which emits less visible light you should obviously use the same wavelength to begin with since a higher wavelength on the spectrum will always equal more visible light.
I see your point, but what UV LED fixtures use the proper wavelength in the DJ lighting market today? Most all of them use the same higher 395nm wavelength. That comparison was not the point of this video. It was to show the difference between mainstream UV "blacklight" LED fixtures vs the true fluorescent blacklights. I'm not discrediting your point on wavelength as it is valid and I would love to see DJ lighting manufacturers start using the proper wavelength for their blacklights. I have yet to see that go mainstream, and when hopefully that time comes, I may make a followup video in the future.
Nice comparison, keep up the good work Nate! I personally think the same, white strobe or blind fx are much more useful over UV leds, especially in a party setup or wedding.
As a nerd obsessed with the 4th state of matter(plasma) I will never ever replace any discharge lamp with LEDs.
great job, could you share the file to print the vinyl?
F40T8/BLUE 40W tube light Is this same as black light ?? When I turned it ON for 5 min, then normal white led light, the white light was looking more yellower light for few minutes, then to white light. Did it affect eye badly ? Any potential eye /skin damage from using F40T8/BLUE tube light ??
How do you do this with Launchpad X?
Just came across this. Thanks for the shout out! Excellent video, and excellent programming at the end, makes me want to get a set now lol! Looking forward to seeing more from you! 👍 (its KC Caprice btw) 😉
I appreciate that and thank you for uploading that video! It really helped when trying to find an approximate date for the Fearsome 4. If your interested in those lights I'm considering selling them. Let me know! 👍
excellent test!
Hey was the outer ring of the jog wheel black plastic sticky ? And how did you get rid of it ? Just water and soap ? Thanks !
Yes, I just used soap and water for that.
Thanks for this video. I was having a hard time understanding this phenomenon but now it makes sense
cheers, big ears
THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW MY CHILD CAN GO ON HER PARTY BUS🎉
Are these much different to the standard 800's?
For Wedding? 365 nm old school? Or new led?
Perfect video , I’m very thankful I was so confused and your video help me 100% … led is best for me . Thank you
Hello, I am doing a special project for myself right now of building a creator/gaming desktop PC. It us the first PC I have built since the Windows 98/XP days. It is getting a custom water cooling loop (a first for me) and I am going for a 60s/70s retro rave/hippie/trippy/disco aesthetic. The case and fans are pink and some parts are white. I am looking to purchase a small usb powered “glass tube fluorescent bulb” type of light to really send the look into orbit…..anyone know where I can find that type of case lighting device? I have been searching online everywhere but all I can find are those cheap dip dot looking LED strips which I don’t like the “dotty” effect it casts, I like the smoothness of a traditional bulb. All suggestions are appreciated.
We are trying to install black light in our church for signing and puppets, we do not want the ambience of the 2nd light. What do you recommend installing for our project.
Thanks exactly what I needed to know and I had a feeling that the florescent bulbs were going to be what I want the led ones light up the area to much there more of a purple light then a black light thanks
My mixer seems to be stuck on a delay or echo mode cant get the flanger or anything else to work any idea what it could be?
Plz do more lighting fix up videos please please
Do I need the Pro or can I use the Mk2?
So simply but so valuable
But, it doesn’t have a cool name….how can that be?
Solid work! Thanks for the great info
Hey! Really nice video! I have a question, my DJM-400 stopped working and I think maybe an internal fuse burned. Since you had open it, did you see if there was one? Thank you very much!
I just looked through my video again, I can confirm there is a fuse inside.
The reason I love fluorescent blacklights is that is has a nice soft purple glow on the tubes. The issue with led black light is that is not true UV. Most led blacklights produce most of it's light in the 405nm (very deep purple) light. With the fluorescent blacklight light most of the light is 365nm. You can get 365nm leds but unfortunately they are very expensive and is more cheaper to use 405nm instead. That strong purple glow from the UV led also ruins the atmosphere when you want black light paintings to glow in the dark.
this is why i like fluorescent more, but at least with leds you can make color changing bulbs, like smart ones, but the better lighting would have to be fluorescent, and plus, if you just want it one color all of the time, and never change the color, you might as well just get a fluorescent tube in that color, fluorescent will always beat another source of lighting one way or another
hello, my white small led lights work but won't strobe/flash. the show mode options just keep them on or off never flashing. what can i do? thank you for your help!! i appreciate it!
From what I've seen, they don't strobe unless triggered by sound. You may be able to run strobes in the automatic program too, but I'm not sure because I have not used them in automatic that much. Usually I run them off of DMX :) If you want to know how to strobe them off of DMX, check out my video Stinger Lightshow: ruclips.net/video/t-SEdLwKy_k/видео.html I go into detail about programming the lights and strobe there.
Doesn't make much sense to compare 395nm LED light to 365nm. 395nm just outputs lots of violet light.
BLACK LIGHTS MATTER
Can E27 365nm compact bulbs be 40W powerful?
Check the lumen rating.
Hello, Nathan. Great job! Thank you for this video and work you put in creating it. I have myself a dJm 400 which I would love to repaint faceplate. I was thinking of a way to do it and stumble up on your video. Really like your approach. Can you, by any chance, give me this sheet or a file of markings on a panel for a transfer on a vinyl? I would much appreciate it!
would you be willing to share the faceplate template you made :)?
I like the Fluorescent Blacklight a lot better! LEDs are garbage.
5:08 how did you do the color selection?
Very cool. I do stuff like this but the pro lighting communities where I could discuss this sort of thing won’t entertain this kind of programming or don’t know it’s possible with these sort of effects fixtures. My efforts are often viewed with disbelief or belittlement. Good job here.
Can you send me your STINGER QLC File?
It would be cool if they could produce the LED fixture with the woods glass lens, so that most of the visible light is removed - as is the case with the fluorescent. If I've learned anything from anywhere, it's never upgrade... Maintain and restore old equipment. It's better built, lasts longer, and is often superior in performance. Replacing a tube, starter, or even a ballast is much easier than trying to source an exact LED replica, and solder it in...
Older equipment is often built better. About woods glass, I found this company that produces LED retrofit tubes with woods glass. Maybe this would be a feasible replacement? store.wildfirelighting.com/sableled-led-blb-lamps/
The 45" replacement is very tempting
This is really cool! I'm interested in why you chose the Midi approach as oppsed to the show manager. Can you explain your reasoning for this?
Thank you! That's a great question. For this light show, I wanted to complete the programming as soon as possible and did not have very much experience using show manager. I went with my tried and true route and programmed it with MIDI via LMMS. The most time consuming part of programming was spent in QLC+ making all the scenes and assigning them, but once that was done, sequencing in LMMS was pretty easy. One thing I really like about sequencing with LMMS is that it just takes one click to add, click and drag to change timing, and one click to delete. The grid layouts are a little easier to work with in LMMS as well, being that this song is a fast 160 BPM and I had the quantize grid set to 1/32 in some sections. I probably could have saved time and made some sections into sequences (there are a few chasers, that are triggered by one key), but maybe I'll try that next time. I hope this answers your question. Thanks again!
Thank you So Much!♡ I highly treasure your recommendations 🔥👍📻
I am going to watch this over and over until I understand ♡ also, such a fantastic song🔥 I really appreciate you!
The problem is, as time goes on, it becomes impossible to get the old style fittings or the tubes anywhere. Most disco lighting supplies are only selling LED type lights now. It's unfortunate that they don't make a newer modern fitting to use tubes, but have it sturdy and more modern.
My blacklight is a 675 model I don't know what watt I need ?
Thank you VERY MUCH for teaching me this!♡ you're rad :)
Freaking AWESOME!! I had NO IDEA lights could be controlled this way! You are brilliant ♡
I NEED to know how you did this!♡
Thanks for watching! To control the lights, I imported the song into LMMS and added a track with no audio. I used 8 keys (2 for each channel) on that track to sequence the lights. I attached the MIDI output on the track to a MIDI loopback program with QLC+ listening on the other end, in turn taking the MIDI and essentially turning it into DMX out for the dimmer pack to control the fixtures!
@@nateslighting you would be a blast to hang out with! :)
@@nateslighting I really appreciate your helping me learn this stuff!♡
Guys pls i have a question i want to put black light and led light in my room in the same time i want the black light effect on the things that have in my room can that work
