Excellent event enhancer, but setup takes time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Partylight Beam has potential to be a great addition to your collection if you are looking to create a party atmosphere or to add some great ambiance for performances if you’re a solo or small musical act or planning a karyoke night anywhere. As a bonus, this is really small device that packs a big punch of light, making it easy to move and set up.
Once you finally get this set up and working, it does a great job of pairing with the PartyBox 320 (or any other compatible device) and enhances the light show by filling the space with moving lights. The lights sync nicely, changing colors together and moving at the same time with each other, but in complementary styles instead of in exactly the same pattern, which is great.
However, the set up process is quite cumbersome, and I highly recommend doing it a day before you have an event planned. My friend and I spent 1 ½ hours getting the apps and devices updated and everything synced, and even then, the app didn’t work correctly. We could get the Partylight and Partybox to sync with each other easily, but we could not get the app to work once they were synced to be able to control the light settings from the phone. The only way to adjust the settings for the lights was to manually do so from the Partybox.
Overall, this will be a great addition to enhance your event, but be aware that you will probably need to install several time-consuming software updates. Right now, the software isn’t working quite as smoothly as it should, but I expect that JBL will get those issues worked out over the next software update or two.

Functional for parties

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I accepted this product sample because I host parties at my house and I needed something make the party move lively. Before getting the item I thought it was going to be big and bulky but turns out it’s small and mighty. This is small enough to bring to any party without being a hassle. The design of the outside is very thick and durable, will keep the bulbs protected. I used this to host a baby shower and all of the guests thought I rented equipment for the party. It was really a vibe. I loved the different effects and color options I can customize using the app. This is a great addition for anyone that hosts parties. The only thing I wished that I had known was that it’s not wireless. This needs to be plugged into an outlet for it to work. Overall this was a very functional addition to my parties and I can’t wait to use it again for my upcoming Halloween party.

Time To Light Up The Party!
on October 9, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that JBL strives to be innovating in not only sound - but in all dynamics connected to the wonderful feeling that music gives us. My review today is unlike previous reviews I've done for JBL's impressive products as today I am reviewing the JBL PartyLight Beam.
This is my first party light of this kind, but, for a newbie – I must say I thoroughly enjoyed testing out this light because of its compatibility to the JBL PartyBox series speakers. Already owning the PartyBox Club 120 speaker, I found the PartyLight Beam super easy to set up as it really is a plug-&-play accessory.
Fresh out of its shipping package and product box, you'll find the PartyLight Beam, a power adaptor and a user manual. Along the side of the PartyLight Beam, there's an On/Off power button, a triangular-shaped button to sync to your PartyBox speaker, and a lightshow button that you can use to manually navigate through the different light features. Plug it in, and one tap of the power button and you're ready to get the party started!
Most (maybe all) JBL products allow you to experience their greatest features through the use of their mobile-controlled apps, so for this, you will need to download and install the JBL PartyBox app. It's free in the Apple Store and the Play Store and works on both iOs and Android devices.
Once you open the app, the app begins to scan for nearby devices compatible to the app and it will automatically add your products quick and easy. The app for this is straightforward and user-friendly - not complicated at all.
Currently, there are 5+ light styles that are available as presets to choose between, but one thing I've noticed is that sometimes when you open the app, you'll get a push-notification that your firmware needs to be updated - which is great because it's keeping your JBL product up to date and sometimes this means new features that weren't initially there - so, I personally love that and how JBL keeps your experience fresh each and every time.
In addition to the current light styles available, you can also adjust between a few color presets, or customize your color selection in the Color Picker palette.
Probably the coolest feature to me is that the PartyLight Beam can sync to the light show happening on your PartyBox speaker keeping the colors in sync with one another. When I think of a fun party, I envision loud music and bright lights - and this pairing gives you just that! I think it's pretty cool that JBL added this feature because it's just the right kind of feature to give a party a certain vibe.
Luckily though, JBL included the ability for manual control so that the PartyLight Beam can have it's own separate lightshow identity which I also appreciate. Imagine the dynamic of having two different yet awesome looking light shows happening at the same time - all the more reason to love how these two products pair together!
In the event you don't want your JBL PartyLight Beam's light show to sync with the light show from your PartyBox, what's cool is that the Beam has a built-in microphone that detects the music playing (or ambient sound, in general) and it can adapts to give you a light show specifically to the vibe happening at the time. I found this feature to be awesome because it goes to show that the light show is more so random than completely repetitive. I like that.
Another awesome feature is that you can control the speed of how fast the light show is going. There are two options: turtle, or rabbit – with the ability to select a speed right down the middle of the two. This is great for the vast difference between fast music and slow grooves. And last (but not least), you can adjust the brightness of the lights which is cool because sometimes a dim light sets a calmer mood.
What's great is that while you can control these in depth through the app, there is a physical button along the side of the JBL PartyLight Beam where you can manually adjust to most of its features.
For this to be my first party light, I must say I'm floored. JBL never ceases to amaze me with their innovative technology and I love seeing their growth advance year by year and product by product. I honestly can't wait to host my next party - my PartyBox gets loud and my PartyLight Beam gives a cool vibe. Good work JBL!

Small but bright.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never used a party light before, but after trying out the JBL Partylight Beam I am impressed. It’s smaller than I thought it would be but it really got bright. The room I used in was about the size of an average living room. I like the different colors you can choose from using the app.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's cool little product which makes parties more interesting and unique. The best part is that you can connect to a speaker and it would sync to the music. Seems like a great product for birthday parties and house parties.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a disco party and this light was the talk of the night. Everyone loved it. Was really bright and never missed a beat of the music. It has all kinds of different settings. You can use your phone to play with it or it has buttons on it also.

Excellent Party Vibe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Party Light makes for a fascinating addition to your party set up, and works wonderfully when paired with a JBL PartyBox. The Light is bright and has a dizzying array of patterns that turn your party's vibe way up.
It lights up a whole room rather easily and paired with your favorite tunes blasting on the speaker its a game changer for party animals.
