your gonna want to go into the generic folder and use the par 36 profile. This is the closest we have to a opti 30 3D object and you still get your one channel of control. Make sense? Also make sure your address in my dmx matches the address on the pack.
Sincerely,

Jingles,

Thanks for the quick response. So, I use the profile for the fixure nad there is not a specific one for the Elation OPTI 16-4 but the Opti 30 3D will work just fine? I think I have it.

Thanks,
Ric

Yes because your opti if i understand it is a either warm white or cool white LED opti can. Tiny little sucker right? since the opti is only dimmable via a pack then it only has one channel which is the same amount of channels as the par 36 profile. Got it? good.

Jingles,

Yes, both are the cool white model and they are very small but very bright. They have a very solid feel to them and I bet they are pretty durable.

This is why I love the forums, they usually save me time and headaches...now if I can only asks qustions before I buy the lights, it would save me time, energy and money, not to mention my vendor's patience.

Thanks again!
Ric

Just do what I do: Explore some ideas here before you buy and see what people have to say.

I've done it a few times, mainly on the Elation forum, to find the right items I needed. Got me the HZ-3000 hazer and ICE-101 ground fogger. I needed a bit of outside help to decided on the Opti Tri pars though.

Chris,

How do you like the Tri pars and how do they compare to the ADJ LED 64P Pros?

He doesn't have them yet.
But I can tell you they are better and brighter than the ADJ's.
sincerely,

Jingles can definately speak authoritatively for me on that issue. The whole reason for going with the Opti Tri Pars is much higher output. I have people with more lighting experience than I do using these instead of regular Par64s.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting rid of my 64 LED Pros by a long shot. They work great and are a hard working fixture. My issue with them is mostly that I don't really have enough and they don't have the cutting power of an Opti Tri Par at further distances. Like, to cover a large area, the 64 LED pros that I have, I am a bit off the stage and I have to cover with one tree from left to right, and repeat it with another tree.

One thing that I do like is that if I end up with some at the last moment, they are a drop-in repacement for the 64 LED pros because they use an identical 7-channel DMX trait set, at least according to the manuals.
