Compact LED Moving Head Built for Mobile DJs & Install Rigs
Eliminator Stinger Spot 30 is a lightweight, high-output LED moving head designed for DJs, small clubs, and mobile performers who need fast effects in a tight form factor. Powered by a crisp 30W white LED, the Stinger Spot 30 delivers an ultra-sharp 13° beam through 7 vibrant colors and 7 replaceable gobos, with scroll and shake functions onboard. Despite its compact footprint, the unit delivers smooth 540° pan and 190° tilt movement, with manual focus and full 0–100% dimming.
Fixture logic is kept intuitive for fast deployment: 4- or 12-channel DMX, Auto-run, Sound Active, or Primary/Secondary modes all accessible from the rear panel’s 4-button display. Whether you’re uplighting truss, sweeping across a dance floor, or adding crisp gobo textures, the Stinger Spot 30 keeps your rig lightweight without sacrificing punch.
Real-World Applications and Sound Roles:
- Mobile DJ light show centerpiece
- Small venue moving head effect
- Truss-mounted gobo/spot system
- Accent beam effect for event production
Where the Eliminator Stinger Spot 30 Excels
- Mobile DJ Portability: At only 7 lbs., this fixture is ideal for fast load-ins and tight transport rigs.
- Simple DMX Integration: Dual channel modes (4CH/12CH) let you drop it into any controller setup with ease.
- High-Speed Pan/Tilt: Rapid 540°/190° motion adds dynamic sweeps, even in short-throw environments.
- Auto + Sound Modes: Eight built-in shows and music-reactive effects for controller-free gigs.
- Color + Gobo Effects: Scroll, shake, and rotate options deliver rich beam textures without external modules.
Control Modes on the Stinger Spot 30
The Stinger Spot 30 offers four operational modes for flexible integration and fast setup:
- DMX Control: Choose between 4-channel or 12-channel modes for full programming flexibility across pan/tilt, color, gobo, strobe, dimmer, and auto functions.
- Primary/Secondary: Link multiple units for synchronized light shows without a DMX controller. Perfect for plug-and-play setups at events.
- Auto Mode: Select from eight internal programs for prebuilt show loops with pan/tilt and color/gobo changes.
- Sound Active: Activate music-reactive operation with adjustable microphone sensitivity—great for dynamic light movement synced to the beat.
All modes are accessed via the rear-panel 4-button menu with digital display. Fine-tune settings like Pan/Tilt inversion, Target Mode, sound mic sensitivity, and fixture reset directly from the unit.
LED Source & Optical System of the Stinger Spot 30
The Eliminator Stinger Spot 30 features a compact 30W white LED source engineered for crisp output and optimized beam control. The internal optics deliver a sharp 13° beam, perfect for short- to mid-throw applications like mobile DJ rigs and small venue installs. Manual focus lets you sharpen gobos or widen beam edges as needed for the room. With smooth 0–100% dimming and a high-efficiency cooling fan, it delivers stable operation with minimal thermal drift.
Color output is handled by a 7-position dichroic color wheel plus open, supporting rainbow scroll effects. Gobo projection comes from a dedicated gobo wheel with 7 static gobos and full shake and scroll capabilities. Together, these effects create dynamic beam textures and layered visual movement for dancefloors, stages, and truss uplighting.
DMX Channel Modes & Programming Architecture
The Stinger Spot 30 supports two DMX modes: a 4-channel basic mode for simplified use, and a 12-channel advanced mode for full feature access. All DMX traits are mapped logically for fast programming: Pan/Tilt motion, dimmer, shutter/strobe, color scroll, gobo control, built-in shows, and motor reset are all addressable. The fixture also supports 8 onboard programs, selectable via DMX or directly from the rear menu.
This dual-mode architecture makes it ideal for both beginners and pros—whether you’re running standalone, linking via primary/secondary, or dropping into a full console-controlled show.
Standalone Features & Auto Modes
For controller-free environments, the Stinger Spot 30 offers flexible internal programming with easy access from the rear 4-button display. Auto run, Sound Active, and Primary/Secondary sync modes are all onboard, along with fixture inversion for both pan and tilt. You can adjust the onboard mic sensitivity (0–100) to fine-tune reaction to music in real time, or trigger specific show presets for background movement.
Target Mode functionality lets you restrict pan/tilt ranges to lock the fixture within a set sweep arc—ideal for focused installations or avoiding blind spots in tighter venues.
Fixture Menu & Navigation Logic
All settings on the Stinger Spot 30 are accessed via the rear LCD and 4-button interface (Mode, Up, Down, Enter). The menu tree includes options for:
- DMX addressing: 001–512 address range
- Channel Mode: 4CH or 12CH selection
- Primary/Secondary Mode: Enable or join master/slave groups
- Internal Shows: 8 total preset sequences
- Sound Mode: Toggle ON/OFF + mic sensitivity (0–100)
- Pan/Tilt Inversion: Separate toggles for X and Y inversion
- Target Mode: On/Off with movement limiter
- Display Flip: Invert menu orientation
- Fixture Reset: Re-home motors via menu or DMX
This menu layout mirrors the Eliminator logic found across the brand’s entry-level movers, allowing quick training and fast programming consistency across rigs.
