    Good LED Spot Movers

    The Chauvet Force S Profile is well within your budget, has CMY color mixing and framing shutters. https://www.chauvetprofessional.com/products/maverick-force-s-profile/

    LED Cycs

    Which Chauvet fixture? The Ovation B2805fc is a linear unit. The Ovation Cyc1fc is meant to be rigged on (about) 3’ centers.

    Verify my math on this...

    There is a lot of information missing here. Are you assuming a full 40a per module? Are you also assuming that these fixtures all have perfect power factor? Do you have recepticals rated at 20a? Are you using 12awg cable? 14awg is really suitable for 15a (dropping you down to 13,200w)...

    Fixture options please.

    Take a look at the Ovation E2 FC. Integrated zoom lens, great optics, and full color, all in a compact housing.I think they’d work great in the application you describe.

    Ovation E-910FC lens support

    Hi Adam, No, there is no Fresnel adaptor for the E910. Chauvet developed each fixture type separately, to optimize performance (ETC has started doing the same with the Source V). In the Ovation FC family you have multiple sizes of Ellipsoidal-style fixtures, Fresnels, Pars, Cyc lights...

    Hi Adam, I confirm that the Fresnel adaptor is not compatible.

    ADJ, Elation, Chauvet, professional use moving profile heads

    John is on-point. Whoever you purchase from, go through a dealer that will support you. I (of course) am partial to the Maverick units. That said, your best bet is to get them in to your space, and see how they work for you.

    LEDs and R20 reassurance

    Hi Liam, There are people who are more expert on the ETC Systems than I am on this forum, but here is what I know. A dimmer modifies the waveform. Even a dimmer parked at full. A relay does not...it's simply a controllable switch.Your fixtures need a pure sinewave, or the electronics will...

    Tungsten to LED upgrade

    John is right that you'll want to have costumes and/or set pieces to shoot at, especially for front light. Also, that the total In the Reve color system, although we separate control into 5 colors, we actually use a wider variety of color. you can see it when you pull the lens out.You can...

    Tungsten to LED upgrade

    Hi there, I would also take a look at the Ovation Reve E3. This would give you a little more punch in very pale colors than you’re used to with your current S4 750s. Ideally, you should get demos of the fixtures in, so that you can compare all of them against each other. With the size of...

    Silly question... are the lamps on?

    Are they not working at all, or just not outputting light?

    Listed/ Certified LED Light Fixtures?

    Sidebar... just for the sake of clarity... or maybe to try to explain just how confusing this all can be... UL writes the electrical safety standards. So, for instance, you'll see most professional theatrical lighting gear certified to the UL 1573 standard, or the UL 8750 standard (or both)...
