I'd like 10 please...This will either be a flash in the pan or we're going to start seeing some very new and exciting lighting.

Like anyone really pays MSRP.

I think that people saw the surprising success that the Elation Impression has had and wanted to get in the game - fast. HES fires the first (very impressive) shot. Going above and beyond in terms of pixel mapping and sheer size. Definitely looks like a true Richard Belliveau idea!

Actually, Robe fired the first shot, but no one saw it over here, really. Their new products include the REDwash 3-192, which is an RGBW moving head. This utilizes 192 Luxeon Rebel LEDs and looks like a truly impressive product. Their DigitalSpot 3000, another new product, offers a smaller LED array along with its projector.

They are pretty schmexy. Hate to think of the number of channels it uses though.

EDIT: Answered my own question. 70 in the 'standard' mode. Made up of 127 3W LEDs.

aside from being camera candy on the deck at concerts with video shoots I do not see these catching on. It is kind of a so what if the front of the fixture looks cool, unless the beams themselves back a good punch and can look interesting I don't see this becoming more popular than the other fixtures they have already.

SHOWPIX will be shipping very soon and more information will be posted on the HES site in the next few weeks. It is a very exciting new type of fixture that is a real joy to program and create all kinds of never before seen images and effects. I can imagine all kinds of new looks on stage and in the rig with this light!

And that changes my mind on it!

No idea but based on the price of other HES products I'm guessing the sticker will be north of $20K. Street price about $12K.
