Why Standardize on a Flush-Mount Grid
Consistent brand look across locations
A ceiling grid of X8 fixtures makes every room feel “on-brand”—identical sightlines, colorways, and laser light show looks from city to city.
Faster turns, less clutter
No tripods or cable nests. A flush-mount grid keeps floors clear for cleaning and changeovers, and it reduces accidental knocks during peak hours.
Facilities-friendly design
The embedded ceiling bezel is discreet and serviceable. Shared spares simplify inventory across multiple venues.
Lower total cost of ownership
Efficient 50 W engine per fixture, consolidated SKUs, and standardized cue sheets reduce programming time and training.
Zone Design & Quantities
| Zone | Area | Recommended X8 Qty | Control Mode | Spacing / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private Room | 12–18 m² | 1–2 X8 | Sound Active / Auto | Throw 3–6 m; mount above eye line; light haze for photos |
| Medium Bar Zone | 20–35 m² | 2–4 X8 | Master-Slave chases | Grid spacing 2.0–2.5 m; mirrored DJ lights sweeps |
| Main Floor | 40–80 m² | 4–8 X8 + 2 center | Master-Slave / DMX512 | Perimeter symmetry; center cross patterns; keep haze low |
Control Cheat Sheet (Repeatable Shows)
- Master-Slave: nightly synchronized sweeps; keep 3–4 “staff-safe” scenes.
- DMX512: map butterfly fan speed, white strobe rate, laser (red/green) on/off; store 8–12 venue cues (e.g., Warm Welcome, Midnight Build, Countdown Pop).
- Sound Active: set mic sensitivity by room; re-tune after PA changes.
Control Architecture (Master-Slave & DMX512)
Baseline: Master-Slave
Assign one leader and let followers mirror for simple, repeatable sweeps. Good for weeknights and low-touch operation.
Headline nights: DMX512
Add a compact controller. Map key parameters to faders for musical moments. Save a venue-standard showfile your staff can recall across locations.
Future-proofing
Keep a laminated cue card + QR to a short training video. Patch sheets stay identical across venues to reduce onboarding time.
Ops & Maintenance SOP
| Cadence | Checklist |
|---|---|
| Install | Cutout Ø20 cm, depth ≥18 cm; keep vents clear; separate power & signal from audio; mount above eye level; away from sprinklers/HVAC blasts. |
| Daily (2–3 min/room) | Dust bezel; power-on self-check; verify Sound Active mic sensitivity. |
| Weekly (10–15 min/zone) | Inspect mounts/cables; confirm alignment; test emergency blackout; back up controller cues to cloud/USB. |
| Spares | Keep 1–2 hot spares per venue/cluster + one spare controller; perform swaps in off-hours. |

FAQ (Collapsible)
What quantities should we plan per room size?
Private rooms 12–18 m²: 1–2 X8. Zones 20–35 m²: 2–4 X8. Main floors 40–80 m²: 4–8 perimeter + 2 center. Use Master-Slave or DMX512 depending on event level.
Can staff run Master-Slave most nights and switch to DMX512 for events?
Yes. Master-Slave or Sound Active is ideal for routine nights; load DMX512 cue stacks for headline shows and countdowns.
Do you support bulk orders and OEM/ODM customization?
Absolutely—Starshine is a factory/manufacturer and supports bulk pricing, OEM/ODM (bezel finish, presets, DMX profiles, labels/packaging) and chain-wide BOM planning.
What are the ceiling requirements for the X8?
Cutout Ø20 cm, cavity ≥18 cm, allow ventilation, mount above eye level, avoid sprinklers and direct HVAC.
What spare strategy do you recommend for multi-site venues?
Maintain 1–2 hot spares per venue or regional cluster, plus one spare controller. Schedule swaps during off-hours to avoid downtime.
What about warranty and service?
The X8 includes a two-year warranty. We can provide remote cue support, documentation, and optional on-site training.
How do we standardize cues across multiple locations?
We provide recommended cue sheets (8–12 scenes) and patch notes. Your tech lead can clone these per site for consistent laser light show looks.
