4. Maintenance and Support
Ongoing maintenance and support are essential for the longevity of kinetic light installations. Some providers offer maintenance services, which can be factored into the overall cost.
5. Project Scale and Duration
Larger-scale projects or those with extended timelines may incur higher costs due to increased resource requirements and longer labor hours.
6. Location and Logistics
The installation location can affect costs, especially if it involves complex logistics or remote areas. Transportation and setup expenses may vary accordingly.
7. Customization and Features
Additional features, such as interactive elements or integration with other systems, can increase the cost of the installation.
8. Provider Reputation and Expertise

FAQ
Wedding & Parties Lighting Solutions
Is system operation quiet?
We offer noise-optimized solutions (vibration damping/soft start/low-noise wire rope guidance) to meet acoustic requirements for TV studios and commercial spaces.
Products
The fixture overheats and shuts down. What should I do?
Resolve overheating issues:
1. Environment Check: Ensure the operating temperature ≤60℃; move the fixture away from heat sources (e.g., stage heaters) and ensure 50cm clearance around the fan grille.
2. Fan Maintenance: Clean the fan and fan grille with compressed air (remove dust buildup); check if the fan runs when the fixture is powered on (replace fan if silent).
3. Protection Threshold: Enter "Settings → Temperature Protection" to adjust the threshold (default 60℃, max 80℃) if the environment requires higher operating temperatures.
The fixture does not respond to the DMX controller. How to fix it?
Resolve with these checks:
1. DMX Address & Channels: Ensure the fixture’s starting address is correct (e.g., 34CH fixture 1: A001, fixture 2: A035) and the controller’s channel count ≥ total fixture channels.
2. Signal Wiring: Use shielded twisted-pair DMX cables (≤150m); install a 120Ω terminal resistor between pins 2-3 of the last fixture’s XLR connector.
3. Signal Amplification: For cable lengths >150m, add a DMX signal amplifier to avoid signal loss; separate DMX cables from high-voltage power cables (≥1m apart) to prevent interference.
Customization/OEM Services
What customization services can you provide? For example, adjustments to appearance, functions, or parameters.
Multi-dimensional customization is supported:
▪ Appearance customization: Lamp housing colors (e.g., in addition to black and silver, exclusive brand colors can be customized), and laser engraving of the brand logo on the body.
▪ Function customization: Adjustment of channel modes (e.g., adding exclusive light control channels), adaptation of light control protocols (e.g., compatibility with the customer's own central control system), and special scenario functions (e.g., increasing the waterproof level of outdoor models to IP65).
▪ Parameter customization: Extended stroke of elevating lights (default 0-5 meters, customizable up to 10 meters), adjustment of the beam angle of conventional lights (e.g., custom 15° narrow beam angle for PAR lights).
