Hello CB!
We are looking to add some LED to our lighting set up. First of all, our lighting is extremely rudimentary. We have only old fresnels for front lighting and our grid is 11' high. These lights are very old and hot. We would like to augment our lighting by adding a few LED fixtures as front lighting wash/fill. I have always seen people here saying LEDs are not suitable for front lighting, but no one exactly (that I have found) has said just why except for the inability to get a pure white light. However, we don't think we want a pure white light as most of our purpose is theatrical. Our stage has primarily front lighting - our grid is incomplete.
With the new LED rgba and rgbaw kind of lights out now, can there be a suitable LED for front lighting? If so, what kind is recommended under $1,000 please? Also, can someone explain why LED are not suitable for front lighting positions?
Thank you in advance, CBers.
