How much of your rig is currently LED? What percent of purchases in the next year will be?
How much of your current rig can be in total instruments, total output, and maybe even your guesstimate of how much of current productions are lit w/ LED (we recently put up a show with about 20% of instruments LED, but probably 50% was lit w/ LED since many of the conventionals were leko's used only very briefly.)
---------
Across the three facilities I work in we have 982 conventional and 219 LED (however, 70 of the LED's are Chauvet colordash accent RGBW's which are pretty anemic, but very handy for where they can be hidden). Since I really like color and shadow we are tending to use the RGB LED's pretty heavily so I'd guesstimate that over 30% of the lighting in any one show is LED.
Coming year purchases will likely be about 80% LED (S4 RGBx?, Colorado washes). Only conventionals will be some VL1100TSD's. Besides the RGB (or X7 or RGBWA or ...) capabilities, I really like being able to daisy chain power & DMX through a bunch of fixtures and not have to worry about channelized dimmer cabling.
