Derby Led Butterfly Light 4 in 1

Derby LED Butterfly Light 4 in 1

The Derby LED Butterfly Light 4 in 1 combines four entertainment effects inside one compact 50W fixture: RGBW butterfly beams, a 10W white strobe, red and green laser effects, and 16 RGB chase LEDs. Designed for DJs, wedding entertainment, clubs, parties and smaller indoor stages, it delivers several different visual textures without requiring four separate fixtures.

With 15-channel DMX512, Sound, Auto and Master/Slave operation, 0–100% dimming and up to 20 flashes per second, the Derby Butterfly Light can work as a standalone music-responsive effect or integrate into a programmed stage-lighting setup.

Four Different Effects in One Fixture

The main advantage of this Derby light is not simply LED quantity.

It combines four visually different effects:

1. RGBW Butterfly / Derby Beams
Two 10W 4-in-1 LEDs create coloured sweeping beam effects.

2. White Strobe
A dedicated 10W white source produces high-energy flashes.

3. Red & Green Laser
100mW red and 50mW green laser sources add sharper laser patterns.

4. RGB Chase Effect
Sixteen 5050 RGB LEDs create an additional animated colour layer around the fixture.

Using these effects together can give a DJ booth or dance floor significantly more variety than a conventional single-effect party light.

2 × 10W RGBW Derby LEDs

The main Derby effect uses:

2 × 10W RGBW 4-in-1 LEDs

RGBW means each primary LED package contains:

• Red

• Green

• Blue

• White

The light passes through the Derby / butterfly optical system to divide the output into multiple moving beams.

This produces the characteristic wide, animated pattern associated with butterfly-style effect lights.

What Is a Derby or Butterfly Effect?

A Derby light does not work like a normal PAR fixture.

A PAR is designed primarily to wash a surface with relatively even colour.

A Derby light splits light into multiple moving beams that spread outward across the room.

The effect can appear across:

• Walls

• Ceilings

• Floors

• Dance floors

• Stage scenery

• DJ backdrops

The beams can overlap and move as the internal effect mechanism operates.

This creates the wing-like appearance responsible for the term Butterfly Light.

RGBW Gives More Colour Flexibility

Dedicated red, green, blue and white elements give the Derby effect a broader colour palette than an RGB-only fixture.

The light can create combinations using:

• Red

• Green

• Blue

• White

• Mixed RGB colours

• Contrasting multi-colour looks

The exact colour appearance depends on the built-in programmes or DMX settings.

Dedicated 10W White Strobe

The fixture contains a separate:

1 × 10W white strobe LED

This is different from simply flashing the Derby LEDs.

A dedicated white strobe can create a sharper visual interruption during:

• DJ drops

• Dance sections

• Stage entrances

• Music transitions

• Party finales

It adds a high-energy effect without requiring a separate standalone strobe fixture for smaller installations.

Up to 20 Flashes Per Second

The exact specification lists a maximum screen/strobe flash rate of:

20 flashes per second

This gives the operator a useful range from slower flash effects to rapid strobing.

Fast flashing should be used responsibly because some people are sensitive to stroboscopic lighting.

For weddings and general background entertainment, slower effects or continuous lighting may be more appropriate.

Red and Green Laser Effects

The laser section contains:

• 100mW red laser

• 50mW green laser

These provide a noticeably different visual texture from the broad RGBW Derby beams.

Laser patterns appear sharper and more defined, especially when projected onto walls or used with controlled atmospheric haze.

The red and green sources can add:

• Dot effects

• Line effects

• Pattern overlays

• Music-responsive laser movement

The exact built-in laser-pattern library is not published for this SKU, so Stagify should not invent a pattern count.

Nominal 150mW Listed Laser Sources

Adding the supplier-listed modules gives:

100mW red + 50mW green = 150mW nominal listed laser-source output

This should not be confused with the 50W total electrical power of the complete fixture.

These measurements describe two different things:

50W = complete fixture electrical consumption
150mW = sum of the listed red and green laser modules

The nominal module total also does not establish the formal regulatory laser class of the finished fixture.

16 RGB 5050 Chase LEDs

The fourth effect is created using:

16 × 5050 RGB LEDs

The supplier translates these as “horse racing lamp beads”, which refers to a running or chasing light effect.

A matching version of the exact hardware describes these LEDs as an RGB marquee ring.

They provide a decorative animated colour effect separate from the main Derby beams.

This can create:

• RGB chases

• Running colour sequences

• Decorative perimeter effects

• Music-responsive colour changes

The chase LEDs help make the front of the fixture itself visually active.

Important: No UV Source Is Confirmed

The supplier's marketing paragraph calls this fixture:

Derby + Strobe + UV + Red/Green Laser

However, its own technical specification does not list any UV LED source.

Instead, the hardware table clearly identifies:

• 2 × 10W RGBW LEDs

• 1 × 10W white strobe

• 100mW red / 50mW green laser

• 16 × 5050 chase LEDs

A matching independent product using the same 50W / 15CH / 1.35 kg platform identifies the fourth effect as an RGB marquee/chase system, not UV.

For catalogue accuracy, do not market this exact SKU as a UV light unless the physical unit confirms dedicated ultraviolet LEDs.

50W Total Fixture Power

The complete unit consumes approximately:

50W

This includes the lighting sources, lasers, internal effect system and control electronics.

Its relatively modest electrical load makes it practical for mobile DJ installations using several small effect fixtures.

For example:

2 fixtures: approximately 100W
4 fixtures: approximately 200W

Other lighting, audio and stage equipment must still be added separately when calculating event circuit load.

15-Channel DMX512 Control

The exact product uses:

15CH DMX512

This is one of the stronger features of the fixture.

Rather than limiting the user to automatic party programmes, DMX allows integration with a lighting controller.

The fixture can then operate alongside:

• LED PAR lights

• Moving heads

• Strobe lights

• Laser effects

• Pixel lights

• Other Derby fixtures

This is particularly useful for mobile DJs and venues building a larger lighting system over time.

Why 15CH Control Matters

A multi-effect fixture requires more control than a simple RGB party light because several lighting systems exist inside the same unit.

DMX can provide access to functions associated with:

• Derby colours

• Derby effects

• Strobe

• Lasers

• RGB chase LEDs

• Programme behaviour

The exact channel-by-channel map should still be taken from the supplied product manual rather than inferred from another 15CH fixture.

0–100% Smooth Dimming

The exact specification confirms:

0–100% dimming

This makes it possible to reduce intensity rather than operating all supported effects permanently at full output.

Dimming can help when moving between:

• Background lighting

• Dance-floor lighting

• High-energy music sections

• Blackout cues

It is also useful when matching the fixture visually with other equipment.

Automatic Operation

The supplier calls the built-in automatic function Self-Propelled mode.

For customer-facing copy, this can be described more naturally as Auto mode.

The fixture can run built-in effects without a lighting console.

Auto mode is useful for:

• Home parties

• DJs

• Private events

• Small bars

• Karaoke

• Birthday celebrations

It provides quick operation when precise programming is unnecessary.

Sound-Activated Operation

The fixture also includes Voice Control, meaning Sound-Activated mode.

This allows the effects to react to music.

Sound mode is especially useful for:

• DJs

• Clubs

• Dance floors

• Wedding entertainment

• Karaoke

• Parties

The fixture can respond automatically while the DJ concentrates on music rather than operating a lighting console.

Master/Slave Operation

Master/Slave mode allows compatible fixtures to operate together.

One unit can act as the programme source while additional matching fixtures follow.

This can be useful when using:

• Two lights around a DJ booth

• Two units on opposite sides of a dance floor

• Multiple fixtures around a small stage

For more advanced individual programming, DMX512 should be used.

Compact 220 × 220 × 200 mm Design

The published dimensions are:

220 × 220 × 200 mm

or:

22 × 22 × 20 cm

This makes the fixture easy to incorporate into portable lighting rigs.

The compact body is useful for:

• Mobile DJs

• Small rental companies

• Party organisers

• Entertainment venues

• Karaoke setups

Several effect types can travel inside a single compact fixture instead of requiring multiple separate units.

Lightweight 1.35 kg Body

The exact net weight is only:

1.35 kg

That is particularly useful for mobile event setups.

The light can be transported more easily than full-size moving heads and other heavy stage fixtures.

Low weight does not remove the need for safe installation.

When mounted overhead, use properly rated hardware and an independent secondary safety attachment where appropriate.

DJ Booth Lighting

The Derby Butterfly fixture is particularly useful around DJ setups because it produces multiple textures at the same time.

One unit can contribute:

• RGBW moving beams

• Red/green laser effects

• White strobe

• RGB chase effects

A pair of fixtures positioned on opposite sides of a DJ booth can create a more balanced stage look.

Wedding Entertainment

This product is better suited to the dance and entertainment portion of a wedding than to formal stage illumination.

Useful moments include:

• Couple entrance

• Dance-floor opening

• DJ set

• Entertainment performances

• Party sequence

• Finale

For speeches, photography and formal stage lighting, dedicated PAR, wash or follow-spot fixtures will generally provide more useful illumination.

Clubs and Bars

For clubs, lounges and bars, the 4-in-1 Derby can provide several effects without taking up the mounting space of four separate fixtures.

DMX control allows it to become part of a permanent lighting rig.

Multiple units can be programmed with:

• Colour changes

• Strobe cues

• Laser effects

• Chases

• Sound-responsive sequences

Karaoke Rooms

The compact size and Sound mode also make the fixture suitable for karaoke environments.

Music-responsive Derby and laser effects can add visual movement without requiring a dedicated lighting technician.

Its 50W electrical rating also makes it more appropriate for smaller entertainment setups than large touring moving heads.

Small Stage Effects

The Derby can supplement a small performance stage where the goal is visual energy rather than performer illumination.

Potential applications include:

• Bands

• DJs

• Dance performances

• School parties

• Entertainment stages

The fixture should normally be combined with proper front or wash lighting when people on stage need to remain clearly visible.

Best For

The Derby LED Butterfly Light 4 in 1 is particularly suitable for:

• Mobile DJs

• Wedding entertainment

• Clubs

• Bars and lounges

• Dance floors

• Karaoke

• Birthday parties

• Private events

• Small stages

• Entertainment venues

• Rental businesses

• Event-production companies

Its strongest catalogue role is providing four complementary party effects from one compact 50W fixture.

What This Fixture Is Not Best For

Another fixture may be more appropriate where the requirement involves:

• Wide and even stage wash

• Performer front lighting

• High-output concert beams

• Detailed RGB laser graphics

• ILDA programming

• Outdoor weather exposure

• UV-specific fluorescent effects

• Long-distance spotlighting

This product is primarily a multi-effect party and dance-floor fixture.

Derby Butterfly Light vs Mini Magic Disco Ball

The Mini RGB LED Magic Disco Ball Light is a simpler decorative effect.

Choose the Mini Magic Ball when:

• Very compact size is the priority

• Simple remote/automatic operation is enough

• Home parties are the main application

• DMX is unnecessary

Choose the 4-in-1 Derby when:

• DMX512 is required

• Laser effects are wanted

• Dedicated white strobe is useful

• RGBW Derby beams are preferred

• A more developed DJ/event fixture is required

This creates a clear upgrade path from casual party lighting to DMX-controlled entertainment effects.

Derby Light vs 36 LED RGBW PAR

The 36 LEDs RGB Par Party Stage Light serves a very different purpose.

The PAR is designed mainly for colour wash.

The Derby is designed for moving patterns and effects.

36 LED PAR:

• RGBW colour wash

• 25° beam

• Stage and backdrop illumination

4-in-1 Derby:

• Moving RGBW butterfly beams

• Laser

• White strobe

• RGB chase effect

Using both together can produce a more complete small-event lighting setup.

Derby Light vs Dedicated Animation Laser

A dedicated RGB animation laser is the better choice when customers require:

• Scanned patterns

• Higher-speed graphics

• More advanced laser programming

• Full-colour laser animation

The laser section of this Derby fixture is intended as one component of a four-effect party light rather than a replacement for a dedicated graphics laser.

Using the Fixture with Haze

Controlled haze can make the Derby and laser effects more visible through the air.

Without haze, many effects will mainly appear where they reach:

• Walls

• Floors

• Ceilings

• Scenery

With haze, some beam paths can become easier to see.

Before using haze:

• Confirm venue permission.

• Check smoke-detection systems.

• Maintain visibility of exits.

• Avoid excessive atmospheric density.

• Follow the haze-machine instructions.

Laser Safety Requirements

The fixture contains genuine red and green laser sources.

Do not deliberately direct laser output into people's eyes.

Installation should prevent uncontrolled direct eye-level exposure.

Before commercial use, check the physical fixture for:

• Laser class label

• Aperture identification

• Output label

• Wavelength information

• Manufacturer warnings

• Safety instructions

The exact supplier page does not provide a formal laser classification.

Do not assign a Class 3R, 3B or another classification solely from the module-output figures.

Do Not Market for Audience Scanning

Stagify should not advertise this fixture for direct audience scanning.

Audience scanning requires specialised exposure calculations, appropriate safety controls and competent laser-show operation.

For ordinary DJs and wedding events, laser effects should be directed into controlled areas away from direct eye exposure.

Dubai Laser Display Requirements

Commercial laser displays in Dubai may require regulatory approval depending on the installation and event.

Operators should confirm applicable Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and venue requirements before conducting public laser effects.

Purchasing a laser-equipped lighting fixture does not itself grant permission for unrestricted public laser operation.

AC110–240V Wide-Voltage Input

The published input range is:

AC110–240V / 50–60Hz

This covers the UAE's normal 220–240V / 50Hz electrical supply.

The supplied mains plug type is not documented.

Do not specifically advertise an included UAE/UK Type G plug until Stagify stock is checked.

Indoor Use Positioning

The exact supplier does not publish an IP rating.

The matching independent hardware platform is also positioned for indoor entertainment applications.

Therefore, Stagify should market this fixture for dry indoor use unless the physical unit or manufacturer documentation establishes an outdoor protection rating.

Do not advertise it as:

• Waterproof

• IP65

• Rainproof

• Outdoor-rated

• Weather-resistant

without supporting documentation.

Installation and Rigging

For overhead installation:

• Use appropriately rated mounting hardware.

• Add an independent secondary safety attachment.

• Verify the mounting structure.

• Keep power and DMX cables secured.

• Maintain ventilation.

• Keep the fixture dry.

• Position laser effects to avoid direct eye exposure.

Even though the unit weighs only 1.35 kg, stage-lighting installation should still use suitable equipment and safe rigging practices.
