The RC4 educational LED kit
UK - Props people, lighting designers, and electricians will be interested to discover that RC4Wireless is now offering specially priced RC4Magic Wireless DMX and Dimming Starter Kits for a limited time. Every new kit comes with three secure digital IDs. Since every RC4Magic user has their own IDs, no RC4 user can ever interfere with another RC4 user's show.

RC4Wireless is also offering a low-cost Wireless LED Dimming Kit for Educators. This affordably-priced kit is ready to use right out of the box. It demonstrates smooth wireless dimming, and includes a bright red-green-blue LED, 6V rechargeable battery, and charger. All you need is a DMX controller to start experimenting with beautiful, affordable, safe, cool-running LEDs.

James David Smith, president and chief product designer at RC4 reports: "Every time we demonstrate smooth wireless dimming with red-green-blue LED devices - and we've been doing this for many years - eyes light up as young minds absorb the richness and simplicity of additive colour-mixing. When the concepts are reduced to a single three-colour light source, a small battery, and a little RC4 dimmer - a solution that fits in the palm of your hand - the complexities of large fixtures are stripped away and no longer obfuscate learning and understanding. There are few educational tools that are this exciting and this eye-opening."

"I know, from speaking with prop masters, costume people, and other artisans across the country, that budgets have been shrinking. Wireless dimming is exciting, for sure, but it has to be affordable," adds Sean Dane, director of sales at RC4Wireless. "By pre-programming and bundling starter kits with new digital IDs, we eliminate the custom ID programming and verification process that precedes most RC4Magic shipments. This saves us time, and time is money, making RC4Magic Starter Kits remarkably affordable."

"Our starter kit bundling process, when handled in volume, saves us something in the ballpark of 7 or 8 percent," notes Smith. But right now - until 30 November - we're discounting our kits 20%, 25%, sometimes even more. If you do the math - compare regular RC4 prices to Starter Kit prices - you'll find that you're basically getting the system transmitter for just $99. It's crazy . . . the parts alone cost more than that! So now's the time, really. RC4Magic Starter Kits will probably never be this inexpensive again."
