Moving Head Fixtures!

[buddy101089]

Hey,
I have a budget of 7000 per intelli light fixture, what is the best in my budget!?

What attributes are must haves?

What will be your trim height?

Is this for theatre?

How many fixtures will you be buying?

Can't offer an intelligent suggestion without knowing more.

Also, are you looking for spot fixtures, or wash fixtures?

Why 1500 per? Is there a number you want to reach? You might be better off buying less but getting more...

hey,
i can fly with a fixture under 1500 each but if i surpised them with something over that b/c of the price they would reject the offer. I need spots with at least a 15 degree lens. It will be used for concert type events. thanks in advace

I agree with that, the only movers under that price are those crappy $1k american dj moving heads or scanners. I would get nice fixtures and less. From looking around a bit Elation has a nice look 250 watt hyrid wash spot fixture for $2500, but I have not actually used these fixtures:

About a grand.

The Elation Design Spot 250 mentioned above would also be an excellent choice as it can do double duty - wash or spot. They can be had on the street for under two grand.

I've found one on one of the sites that I check for my school's budget. This seems like it would be the perfect fit. It's quite a few watts over the other two mentioned, and it's got quite a huge feature-set. It's right on the price barrier, at exactly 1500, but there are bulk discounts. It's got static and rotating gobos, a color wheel, motorized focus, a three-facet prism, and many other amazing features. Good for the price. (I want some!)

Until he calculates the cost of operation.

The HTI300 lamp is rated for 750 hours and has a replacement cost of around $ 130.00. The MSD250 is rated for 3000 hours and can be had for around $ 100.00

Quick math indicates a four to one replacement cost: $ 520.00 to $ 100.00 every 3000 hours.That can get pretty expensive if you have multiple fixtures.
