What should I check when buying a used VLX Wash?
Check the condition of all seven RGBW chipsets, confirm they are the replaceable custom type, and verify that dimming control across all four colour channels operates smoothly. Note whether rigging hardware and cables are included, as some used packages include these while others do not. Age can vary, with some units dating from around 2010.
