A RGB LEDs strip is integrated into the inside face of the wheel which allows you to light it up any color, including white.

Full Video Mapping capability. Also called Pixel Wheel

The wheel can controled remotely with a lighting console or a computer, through a dedicated DMX Controller - 2.4 [GHz] ( DMX Transmitter is included with the wheel price, but you can also buy a spare one in case of any problems )

The programming of the light patterns require some specific skills that you can easily learn with our video tutorial and the free software that we provide.

Different software allows emulating a lighting console from your PC. We provide you a USB transmitter that will control the wheel -- you can choose to provide data to the transmitter using a Console or your laptop with a program. We provide one software with the wheel. Software is free but has some limitations that are usually not an issue for most performers. If you ever need to remove limitations you'll need to purchase an upgrade from the software company.

NEW on 2.0 Model

Can be controlled LED by LED
Can be controlled LED by LED in pre-defined pattern mode. Can be controlled 4 LEDs by 4 LEDs in full video mapping mode.
Now in 5 sections instead of 3 - More practical for travel, more battery life
Only USB Transmitter, no more console needed.
Access to battery connector to recharge without dissasembly of the wheel

5 reason why Choose a CircusConcepts LED Wheel

We have been making Cyr Wheels/Simple Wheels nonstop since longer than any serious manufacturer at the moment. We know what works on the long term and what does not.
We have tested our LED Wheels and are producing them since 2014. We make reliable products -- don't waste your money buying someone's prototype.
The electronics on our wheels is separate from the structure and each pieces of the wheel can be replaced, and each piece of the electronics also.
Our wheels are incredible because there is not a single connection in view. Many LED wheels will have tons of technical problems, loss of connection etc etc... Our wheels section are each independent. You could have the 5 parts of the wheel in 5 different parts of the stage, and it would still work ...( idea to be used by the way... )
You'll never damage a cable or connection assembling your wheel.. you can't :)
Easy to replace LED strips in case of problems. You can buy the LED strips with the connector from us, and install it yourself anytime very quickly. Wheel also comes with a spare LED Strip and spare Battery.
Most important - your investing on a final product that will last if you care about it.
We offer a one year warranty on the wheel and it's products for manufacture defects.

Notes:

LED Wheels can at the moment only be made in 2" Grip model due to internal components size
LED Wheels in 5 parts are heavier than a normal 2" model wheel due to the batteries and electronics
Battteries at the moment take 5 hours to full charge( most of the time less since you probably won't use much the battery ). THere is one battery per wheel section so 5 batteries per wheel.
We recommend that you purchase a spare W-DMX Controller because if the current one breaks, you cannot use your LED lights until you have another W-DMX Controller from us. Add an extra one in the options below!

WARNING: The use of a LED Wheel requires basic to advanced computer knowledge and understanding of principles. Using and programming the wheel will require the client to learn the use of specialised softwares. The wheel comes with pre-programmed patterns in this software that are easy to use, once knowledge of the functionnality of the wheel is acquired.

In simple terms: You'll need to play around with the softwares and devices 2-3 days before you can get good results to program your wheel. You also have to be aware that to do technical maintenance of your wheel, it requires you to open the wheel to inspect electronic components. We have made change of basic components very easy, but it still requires manual handwork.

The control of the wheel by the lighting console offers you a complete freedom:

-"live" control of each LED on the wheel from a Distance using DMX frequencies.

-programming one light sequence for the full act. Requires only a "start" at the beginning of the act. Allows the use of complex lighting effects if wanted;

-send cue to cue light sequences programmed for the act. Allows being flexible on the act's timing while using complex lighting effects.

Specifiactions:

wheel in 5 sections
5 battery pack 12V
battery life @ full intensity > 1 hour minimum or more;
battery life @ standby: abouit 40 hours.
Comes with the DMX Transmitter compatible with the wheel. This transmitter can be plugged to a DMX console or a personnal computer. Official range is 500m but since the anternna is inside the wheel we recommend 100m max.
Grip Size: 2"( 5cm )
Weight 19kg
5 Section Wheel: 35 to 42 lbs( depending on size - that for about 160/35 lbs) to 195/42 lbs) )

Battery Chargers:

There are 5 connections on the wheel. If you have one charger, you will need to charge one section at a time. Charging time is about 3hour max, but average 1 hour for normal use.( charging time from 5 to 15 hours, requiring you to change chargers every 1 to 3 hours )

If you take 2 chargers, you'll have to change the connection 3 times( charging time from 3 to 9 hours, requiring you to change chargers every 1 to 3 hours )

If you take 3 chargers, you'll have to change the connection 2 times.( charging time from 2 to 6 hours, requiring you to change chargers every 1 to 3 hours )

If you take 5 chargers, you will charge all sections at the same time, so total charging time will be average 60 minutes, but up to 3 hours if battery is completely empty.

Spare W-DMX Controller

If every you W-DMX Controller would be broken or lost, you would not be able to control your wheel. The DMX Controller that comes with your wheel is very specific, so it cannot be sources anywhere. We recommend that you get an extra one to avoid this eventuality.

One example:

Wheel Patterns by Konstantin( based on pre-programmed patterns already in the wheel memory when we ship it )

Example #2 - Complete LED Wheel act with Lights Synced with Music by Hugo Noel.

This is the result of only 2 days of pgramming using pre-programmed patterns and small tweaks that are easy to do.

FAQ:

Q: Can I control more than one wheel with one USB Transmitter?

A: Yes. In 2 different ways. Either you will send all the same cues of full Video Mapping to all wheels, or you can send different cues to different wheels, but only using pre-programmed pattern in Wheel's memory.

Q: Can you do a wave like pattern ?

A: Yes. You can do even any video mapping motion wanted.

Q: Why does your wheel only has LEDs on the inside, and not on both sides

A: Since our LEDs are IN the covering, the LEDs give a GLOW to the covering which gives color to the whole wheel, and also lights up the artists( while to my opinion and having seen it live, LEDs on both sides will blind more the audience and you see less the artist inside, which is a bit of a shame, as then it's just a light show...not a live performance... )

There are also many technical reasons for this.

Having only a strip inside means Less LEDs, longer battery life, less Amps strain on the very small electrical components, bolts on the side instead of on the inside( bolts on the inside are not as stable and reduce wheel life ) , which also has the advantage of keeping our CNC machined parts( can be replaced on demand like car parts )

Also, the main ‘problem’ with LED’s on the side is that LED strips do NOT bend sideways.... this means very expensive, time consuming parts that are hard to replace and have to be made custom for any wheel size.. meaning you could not really order replacement parts.
