When is UL listing expected? "UL & cUL Pending" means nothing to the end user, just that you are working on a UL listing. To paraphrase my friend Will: "It's a long way between the glass and the lips".

Discerning users with an insurance company looking over their shoulder may want to wait for this very basic requirement. UL might require changes in the fixture design, and if your early fixture does not have them, it does not comply with the listing requirements.

Full disclosure: my company does not manufacture LED fixtures. But I've been through some UL listing adventures.

You forgot the word "currently." (Or did you?)

BillESC:
Any reason you neglected to state the manufacturer and a link? ss-par-100. Is this a new fixture? Because I remember using a similar if not exact one by the same manufacturer three years ago. As I recall, it did not compare favorably with the PixelPar 90.
Edit: The one I used was only RGB; the new one is RGBA. Brighter LEDs also, I'm sure.

OK, add "currently"

I admit, I'm less interested in a UL listing than I am in simply seeing the wattage rise. Not to say that's a huge deal, because more power doesn't necessarily mean much, but it's something. However, I'm also not in the market for any LED products at the moment either. If I was though, I'd want to wait and see some reviews before diving in and being a guinea pig. I'd be interested to see some reviews once some people use these.

Have you had a chance to see these in action yet Bill? Are they as good as we hope that they are?

Please see the Glossary entry UL Listed and then come back to us on whether or not it is important.

Sorry, you've misunderstood me. As far as new product testing, I'm more interested initially in how it performs. The kinks will get worked out, though granted, they should be worked before the product hits the shelves, but it is what it is and nothing we say here is going to have them do a recall on the product until they get approval.

What I forgot to say, is that in waiting to see reviews, that would also be the time I'd spend waiting for UL Approval. I like to only spend money on things I know won't spontaneously combust or kill me. However, for a lab-test scenario, I'm still very interested to see how it performs, UL listed or not. Not to be confused with interested to buy one.

Ironically enough, I pondered where i have seen a fixture that looks like this. I figured it out to be some 6" altman Fresnels that we had at my HS. I almost commented on how similar the two looked, but i decided not to.

For some reason i wanted to check the specs on our followspots to find a pleasant surprise. Altman has turned LED!!!!!....?

Altman Lighting, Co., Inc.

Check it out for yourselves. Look familiar?

[Les]

Yeah it looks a lot like their 1k die-cast theatre fresnel. Especially in the lens/gel frame area.

[gafftaper]

Altman's been making the Spectra Par for at least two years if memory is correct. The trick is they have beefed up the output with this model. Interesting that they also have a 100 watt LED Spectra Cyc. Haven't seen one of those yet.
