Thanks for contributing your fixtures but there are some problems. Especially with the addition of the 3D visualiser in V5, it's important to make sure all the physical dimensions are available.

Before submitting any fixtures for review, please run them through our online validator: https://www.qlcplus.org/fixture_validator.php

Sure, done!

Nice thanks for responding so quickly!

Last little bits of feedback:

OXO

Maybe change the mode names to "DMX Mode 1," "DMX Mode 2" etc.

BeamZ:

@mcallegari we need to decide if LED Blinder fixtures are "Colour Changers" or "Strobes" - the SB200 already in the library reports to be a Colour Changer. My personal belief is that we should consider these fixtures as strobes per @Virusmater or create another fixture type for "Blinder"
Consider the StrobeSlowToFast preset for the "strobe" function on channel 2

Manuals for when Massimo reviews:

I prefer to see the number of channels behind the mode immediately. This is the way it is in our professional equipment - Avolites Titan. If this is a big issue - let me know, I can change it.

SB400 doesn't change color, so would be weird to name it Color Changer. Would be nice to have "Strobes" as subcategory.

Done

I was just going off the manual but no stress.

That suits me, whatever is decided I can update on the other fixture.

Merging but not happy about it. Next time please use the forums like everybody else. Will follow a commit to fix this.
