Frequently Asked Questions
NO. You must use the power adapter that came in the box with the specific StompLight® product you purchased. The PRO and PAL power adapters are not suited to charge the StompLight®Power Banks. The Power Bank charger runs at a higher voltage, lower current and has a charging circuit that cuts off the flow of energy when the Power Bank is fully charged. Do not use the StompLight® Power Bank charger adapter to power a StompLight® Pro or Pal as the circuitry is not designed for the load and may damage the charger and the Pro or Pal..
On occasion some of the Daier foot-switches we order come from the factory with a thin film (lube) that can prevent proper contact until dissipated. If your StompLight® foot-switches are not operating correctly out of the box here are two simple fixes you should try:
1) Using your hand or foot press (cycle) each foot switch 20 - 30 times. In most cases your StompLight will now function properly.
2) Restore Factory Default - Unplug your StompLight® and while holding down the On/Off foot-switch plug your StompLight® back in. Hold the On/Off Foot-switch for at least 3 seconds during this process. Repeat as needed.
The short easy answer is it sends commands that mimic what the on board lighting is doing. StompLight's® DMX address is 1,2,3. The medium answer is there is a bit more "information" in the DMX stream and a clever DMX lighting person could do some interesting things.Our engineering team is talking about the fact that besides the final output RGB we could also put out the raw RGB and our brightness value, and possibly the values of our Spectrum Analyzer. This is the real magic of DMX.
