WHOA. I did not catch that. Thats BIG. Even the Strand Fresnels and Cyc's?


Edit: Oh just clicked around and indeed you are correct. Wow.

WOW. I had no clue that the entire Strand fixture line had been dropped. The Strand Fresnelite must have been one of the longest running conventional fixtures out there!

I still use my 6 fresnelites despite my stockpile of S4's. It's a solid, powerful fixture. I wouldn't say the same thing for the SL though; those were as irritating to work with as it gets. I will miss the 360deg barrel rotation though.
