very uneven, patchy hotspot
I thought the trusty old incandescent lamp would have the right punch for the mirror ball, but I was wrong. The included lamp is pretty weak, and the spot looks very patchy and uneven, which is then reflected into every "dot" on the wall. It is what it is - old technology. I would recommend going for the LED pinspots if you can. On the other hand, if you like the vintage look and the irregularly shaped blobs on the wall, then this is right for you!

Eurolite PAR36 Pinspot Including Bulb
Bought four of these lighting fixtures for hobby use. I use these for illuminating a mirror ball and pinspotting display items.
They are solidly built and feel like they're built to last and also come complete with a bulb, which provides a nice beam as advertised. The bulb is held in place by a spring clip which locates in slots in the housing. They come fitted with a Schuko euro plug, but Thomann provided UK adapters with them. The attached hanging bracket is good for purpose and is fitted with a nice solid moulded handle locking nut.
There are also colour gels available separately for these fixtures in various colours.
Finally a DMX dimmer pack will be required if you need to control or automate dimming and create chase sequences.

Great little pin spot
Ive purchased these to add some ambient light to tables for a wedding - i was looking for a light that would be bright, dimmable and not flood the table too brightly. I was also after a light that wasn't heavy or difficult to place or set up.
These pin spots are perfect for my needs and tick all my requirements. The beam is bright and stays tight. There is an even hot spot of light and exactly as a pin spot should be. They are not the best build quality but they are perfectly fit for purpose. The wire on the back is a little short for my liking but nothing that hinders the use of the light. Lamps are easy to remove and replace too.
Coloured glass filters can be added to the front in various colours and they fit easily. Ive not used the spot with any coloured gels but id imagine that the lamp is too warm and would burn through them due to the lack of space - they could do with a gel frame attachment on the front to allow some space to stop the gel burning through
All in all these are excellent spots and work just as well as more expensive versions.
Definitely worth the money

Perfect light for different locations
The Stairville Pinshot- set is a powerful set when it comes to light for decoration or to create a special mood for parties, weddings oder in rooms. The situations when I used it was a wedding and different parties. On the wedding a placed them around the room an the floor to spot up on the wall. It looks like light pillars and makes a wonderful romantic mood. And because of the being this light and small you can easily put the all together in one Box. The other reason I use them is that their power consumtion is very small, so 12 of them on one line is no problem.

Not that good
If you are buying this for your glass mirror ball please dont since this do not light up your room, it maybe gives you about 20% of the needed power even in a pitch black room. This is mostly for creating an ambient mood. The metal chassis is very well made, but the light part inside looks and feels bit cheap.

Euro plug not IEC, not the best
I hae made loads of purchases through thomann and not once had a complaint about anything I have purchased, until these par 36 spots were delivered.
They all arrived, well packaged as always. Each light in its own individual box.
I opened the first box and the lamp was smashed, not a great start.
The cable length is not very long at all and worst of all, it has a euro plug on, not an IEC plug. I thought rather than just replacing the plug, replace the cable too, so it had some length. I opened up the light and realised the cable had a stupid one way clip. So i decided it was best to change the plug and buy extensions, a lot of hastle for 8 lights.
The spot itself does what it says it does, nice beam of light fantastic through haze. I use them with a DMX controller and they look good.
