I finally got round to doing a proper test and then complete teardown on this light, which looks a bit like a Sharpy, but isn't so we'll call it a Blunty instead. And this is actually one sweet little light. Even with the relatively low power LED it still packs a surprising punch, and would work well in small dark nightclubs.
The manual makes a valiant effort in Chinglish, but has some errors. It also refers to the dicroic glass filters as diachronic glass which is most amusing.
The light has two internal effect wheels. Colour with seven dichroic filters and open white, and gobo with seven gobos and an open circle. The gobo channel has a shake function for each gobo.
I've included all the data you need to use this light in the video, but there are a few little notes to stop you getting caught out.
The light will not put out any light at all until you have the dimmer channel up and nudge the shutter channel up from zero until it enables the LED.
After a short time the display and buttons will go into standby and initially it appears as if it's locked up. Just hold the menu button in for about five seconds to reactivate the display.
This light was bought on ebay from TomTop at the following link.

Not very tech minded
Could I ask why the Gobo Patterns end up not showing full pattern. It either does half or has half of one pattern and half of another pattern as if it isn't in alignment. Hope you understand what I mean. I do have a video of it. Thanks for any help / advice
What apps do you use?
Bought four of very similar lights some years ago. They all popped within a 30 minute window. When I opened them up, three of them had blown resistors in the power supply unit while the fourth did the same on the control board it self. The supplier sent replacements for the items but I still haven't really fired them up again except when checking to see if the replacements worked. Just haven't been that curious to see whether they'll pop again or not 😅, so they just sit in storage waiting for something to happen (the cases they came in however have been very useful for other fixtures that actually work 😛)
We have a whole box of those power supplies. They're over the shelf. ^^
Those are made a lot cheaper nowadays. That thing looks really high quality compared to mine. The ones made today have cheaper plastics, electronics, bearings, and slower movements.

My small movinghead is a white 60 Watt U'King Mini moving headspot looks just like that one but mine is snow white color and it does have a decent good big size cooling fan inside it. Different gobo icons though and i do love this light alottoo. At somepoint on i'm gonna be getting a much huger size moving head light like the 7R 230 Watt Shehds or Sharpy moving head lightthat legit goes in night clubs lol. i also do DJ EDM aswell. That little LED light lens there inside at the back inside atthe LED chip, it looks like an eye ball lens / eye lens lol. The Pupil lens or the entire front of eye lens. Cat eye lens have that like half ball shape eye lens
Me gustaría comprar 4 donde podría aserlo
This reminds me of one of the first festivals me and my friends broke into when I was younger and I was presented with this giant spot light throwing its weight around – the engineers (or maybe the marketing wankers) had called it the G spot fury.
those stepper drivers are so quiet. very nice
are those NEMA 17 steppers in that ?
