Product Description

The COLORband PiX-M USB is a moving LED strip light with individual pixel control for pixel mapping effects. Built-in

motors let you angle the light where needed. Built-in infrared technology offers easily controllable static colors and

automated programs with the optional IRC-6 remote. DMX control wirelessly with the convenient built in D-Fi USB port.

Ten high-power, tri-color LEDs nearly eliminate multicolored shadows and the smooth and even output makes it perfect

as a blinder or a wash light.
