- They're not new, but they are sturdy, relaible and give a fantastic wash look.
It's the ADJ Dotz T-Par System and it's my go-to wedding lights.

Hands down best video yet man! Keep it up 🦾
Thanks bro! I had lots of fun making it
I’ve had these wash lights since 2014! A few years after I “upgraded” to 2 truss and ADJ Focus Spot 4z…. And a couple years later sold the focus spots and so happy I didn’t get rid of the dotz par system.
I know it’s tempting to use the moving heads and truss because all the other CZcams djs use that setup but as a solo op, this is the way to go. I even bought 2 of these and don’t know why I tried other stuff. This is all you need as a solo op. Focus on the dance floor and no need to mess with dmx.
As a DJ for over 10 years. Not one time during the consultation has a B&G asked if I have moving heads or wash lights. The big light show is all in our head guys! These get nothing but compliments from photographers, look professional (I can’t stand green laser dots on a brides dress), and let you focus on the dance floor.
Excellent vid my guy! As a solo op, this is the go to light system hands down.
Also, bought for $349.99 back then 😊
I think having a bigger light system is part of other DJ packages. But I sit in your camp. Keep it simple, turn them on than turn your crowd on
Dude, I saw the ADJ DOTZ TPAR video and you crack me up! I just subscribed to your channel this week. Love your material and the way you present useful insights. Gracias!!!
Thanks so much! I got a lot in store for this year!
Great vid A…killing the game this year
I like everything about these lights except the look…easy to set up and operate…not sure if I like the tripod look but it worked well for you in the examples you showed.
Keep it going bud !
Totally get that. If someone orders my Uplights, I’ll just bring those
Your content is AMAZING! 🔥 I love your editing and sense of humor! Keep it up!
Thanks so much!
Yo Aaron … I love your vids man! They’re hysterical yet informative. I’m moving away from extra setup so I just hook up my lights on top of my speakers so no extra annoying tripods to bring. But thank you for your most entertaining reviews! Keep it up my brother!
That's a great option. Thanks Andrew!
@@AaronStrawn yeah man.. the speakers already have the flyaway bolt for you to hook up your lights
@@andrewbowden2226 what lights do you use?
@@akadlj it’s very minimal nowadays. Just Ape Labs and a few Astera AX1
I've actually been thinking about getting one of these! Yea, in my experience you only really need to start getting into DMX once you get some uplights, and moving heads....went my first 7 years DJing without DMX until I had to because I got 2 intimidator spot 150's that kept shinning on the back wall! DMX is great to get all of those different kinds of fixtures working together! great video man!
I think you'd want an assistant too right? I feel like DMX needs someone paying attention to it. I like these. Plug em in, good to go
@@AaronStrawn not always. I bring an assistant with me to every event...but he doesn't do anything DMX wise....the current tools make it a lot easier for us to mix and do the lights... I've used soundswitch (which I'm not a fan of anymore) but using My DMX Go and My DMX 3.0 make it super easy!...if you want to go crazy with the lights I'm sure it would help, too have somebody else. But you can do alot of cool stuff easily without somebody else lol
I run my up-lights with a remote. I have the Rockville Best Par 50s and they can Wi-Fi talk to each other. So if you set them correctly, whatever you do to the light closest to you, they all do. Works fine for my needs. I would only DMX moving heads if you want to get that synched show down pat.
Best review was so fun
Thanks!
Very entertaining video 😎👍🏻
Thanks!
Love the new intro.
Thanks Mitchell!
I think the wash lights are becoming more desired/acceptable for wedding DJ lights. Preferred by the photographer, videographer, and the couple. This is coming from someone with two moving head lights currently thinking about going back to a simple T-bar wash 😂
I like to keel things simple :)
Yes, I agree, some of us who started with metal halogen par cans, T-bar, and a 4ch controller get it. We fased them out for flashing colored dots, but Now with LEDs wash effects are back and more versatile.
Simple and straightforward
Thanks Mark!
Chauvet makes a similar system and I LOVE THEM. Simple, quick, effective. I bought 4 sets of them so when I burn up the first two cause they go to EVERY gig I will have another pair waiting in boxes. I like your personality and videos, you remind me of me...a lot.
These wash bars get the job done and so easy to set up!
I think you meant two bolts up on top to mount other fixtures, but it's all good. Great work as usual.
The one thing I like about these is the LOOK. It's more simple compared to other T-Par setups. The others have a bunch of visible LED diodes and look hella busy. This thing has four basic and CLEAN looking lights. In a wedding photo, they won't be an eye sore.
they are solid lights
I’ve been exclusively using this as my dance fixture for weddings since 2016. I now use soundswitch with them because a lot of the time I’m running wireless uplights too. I’m going to take off the covers this week to see if I like the less beamy effect more.
Great video, great fixture !
Let me know what you think, I liked these a lot better with the covers off. Got a much bigger wash throw
@@AaronStrawn I think what I currently like about them is that I can keep the light on the dance floor. Either way I'll report back, I have a 180 guest wedding Saturday.
Reporting back. Way better coverage without the lenses. Much more even. I’ll be rocking them like this now.
I've had two of these for years and sometimes I put two moving heads on top. Hands down best DJ T-Bar lighting system out there.
I agree
Been binge watching your vids all night. Thanks for finally getting rid of the 70's porn transition music 🙃
Lol
I love the Dotz TPar lights. Two possible bad things about them are their brightness and they are heavy beasts. IF you dmx them, you can get the brightness down, but I don't think you can with just the remote. SO it is best to aim them at the ceiling and they will literally light up the entire room. They are heavy and the case to me seems a bit bulky. Other than that, I love these lights.
Very true. These lights are bright if you take the lenses off
Nice video! Can you link another set for bigger gigs? Thanks!
Thanks Greg! Yep, you can do that
How do you get strobe effect or mode on this system?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So you use this over the Gig Bar Move? Do you find it to be "enough" in terms of a fun effect?
Yes. I found myself liking the wash look over the "party" look of the Move (actually sold it). BUT, right now, I use 7 ape lab sticks for my lighting
Great vid, but i noticed you also use ApeLabs uplights such as Maxis.. did you ever try to put four of them on a T Bar? Im thinking of doing that instead of buying this, since i always end up having 3-4 to spare, as my events are smaller.. what do you think? I still like the round "dot" look of these.. so im not sure if i should splurge, as its only $500..
I don't think they would look good hanging on the TPar cause of the silver and colors. Plus, that would cost like double to do that
Thinking of doing the same. I seen 2 different videos of people washing huge crowds with it outside but not sure if 4 is good * I don't know how it would look inside
Can you get warm white out of them? Like a solid color that’s not like blue white? For first dances?
I’d say it’s more the blue white. I rarely have them on for first dances unless the photog needs them cause it’s a dark venue. I have a couple pics on my Instagram of first dances and the lights on
In decibels (dB), how much volume is needed to trigger the sound activated mode? Has anyone measured? Is the sensitivity adjustable?
In my garage, I could get them to activate with clapping. There is a sensitivity adjustment on the footswitch. It's pretty responsive
@@AaronStrawn Maybe I just need to upgrade from my ADJ Starbar Wash. I bought two of them used. One doesn't seem to respond to sound at all, and the other keeps chasing with Sensitivity at minimum and no noise in the room.
Does that light stand come with the light?
No I bought that one separately. Links in the description
I wish I bought one of these instead of my Chauvet 4 Play system!!
What differences do you see?
@@AaronStrawn Mine is uglt dots instead of wash
strobe function?
Nope
Had my for a couple years and its great! The bag is trashed though!
Oh no, the velvet!
@@AaronStrawn the velvet is great! The outside.. Not so much!
they still sell the bags
Or you could get a chauvet wash FX HEX. Smaller and more powerful.
I’ve heard those are awesome
Good video and 5:00 - 5:10 was funny (reminded me of the Talking Heads video) but chill on the unnecessary cursing. I had to mute this around my 9 and 6 year old sons.
