Is that really a true LED cyc light I see there?

If it's the same one I saw at LDI 6-8 years ago, I was less than impressed.

Logic says with the new technologies they must have been able to do something in 6-8 years to make it better, if in fact that is what you saw.

Reality doesn't necessarily agree with the above statement though.

It's apparently 3 watt luxeons now... which should be a significant improvement. However if things are still priced the same its going to cost about the same as a foot of Seledor X7 Xtra strip which will most likely kick it's butt.

I have not as yet had the chance to test one of these out.

Yes, Altmans has had a series of LED pars available for some time but until now they all required an outboard power supply. This new offering not only has the power supply built in but also allows for both DMX and AC daisy chaining, a very handy feature.

Hi, curious bout the reflector in this led cyc as instead of a asymetrical reflector with a linear lamp at the focus point, it appears to have six led blocks along the top edge of the reflector which sends the main light output straight down to the lower reaches of the cyc and the very shallow arc reflector bounces a small amount onto the top of the cyc.

It will be a while before these get to Perth, Western Australia so you may see one in the flesh a long time before I do.

Is the reflector dimpled and there is a clear cover?

Thanks

My dealer tells me his dealer price on the cyc fixture is around $1,200.
