Gradual dimming on a loop with Eco UV Bar Plus IR

Hi, welcome to the forums.
To do the fade in and out under your complete control, you would have needed to get the DMX version: https://www.adj.com/eco-uv-bar-dmx and a DMX controller to control them with.
it's possible the IR remote has a slow pulse mode, but they most likely wouldn't stay in synch across multiple units, but you can try it.
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for this explanation! That is kind of what I suspected.

Well, if I’m going to invest in some DMX lights and a controller to do the fade in/fade out on a loop… Does anyone have a recommendation of which controller might be most economical and simplest for a newbie like myself?

I see they have an app controlled version with an iPad, is that a good idea? Any suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks again, everybody!

Hi, I would say the easiest one without needing an ipad but something you only have to hook up to a computer once or twice to send it profiles or back up your work is the ADJ WMX1 or WMX1 MKII.
The MyDMX 2.0 GO ipad controller doesn't really have a dimmer effects in it, it is mainly for color mixing which the Eco bars are only UV and the GO app doesn't support UV color mixing natively. but the WMX1 does and it also has a dimmer effects section.
Otherwise there are the various MyDMX 2.0 USb and computer powered devices, like the Buddy or the 3.0 hardware and then you'd need to have a computer handy to program it and run it.
Hope this helps.

Jigles8302 you are my hero! Thank you so much for taking the time. This is all new to me, so it's incredibly helpful to have such a thorough response. Much appreciated!

Hello again! I am still working on this project, and I've acquired the following gear:

myDMX 5 Express
ECO UV Bar DMX

I have successfully hooked up the light through the controller to my MacBook and I can now turn it on/off with the myDMX 5 software. Minor success!

However, I have no clue how to create a scene(?) bank(?) super scene(?) to achieve the effect I want. Any help would be much appreciated.

All I want to do is have the ECO UV Bar DMX gradually fade on, then stay on for around 30 seconds, then fade back out, and stay off for around 30 seconds. I want to play that sequence on a loop.

Finally, I'd like to send that program to the myDMX 5 Express unit standalone so I can mount the light with the control only and take my laptop elsewhere.

Thanks for any advice!
