So I'm at a 450-seat auditorium with 2 Phoebus Ultra Quartz II's -- 360W or whatever they are. They punch like that guy that back-handed a cop in CA last week (that means, they're really, really wimpy).
That said - We rarely use spots. THAT said, one of the reasons is that these PUQ's have no punch. Hoping these things are the "Meh, they're okay" that I'm looking for. Anyone have any experience with them? I vaguely remember a production that rolled in with a couple and they actually had a decent amount of horsepower. And the whole DMX control concept doesn't suck (we could theoretically use them as lectern specials or what not).
I realize - No banjos, no gel changes, no frost - But again, 99.7% of the time, when we need spots, we just need a decent looking and relatively punchy circle of white-ish light.
Love to hear from anyone that hit some target with these things.
