I'm not opposed to new Comets, but they really match horribly with our lighting. I'm not sure if this is an inherent problem in all spots, but they seem really bad compared with other spots I have seen. Is this just because they are old? Or are all Comets much more amber than S4s?
Guess I'll talk about the 800 pound gorilla in the room:
Why not get a new set of Comets? They are good spots and if the current pair are too old and a mess, why not replace them with something you already know works in your application?
I'll try to find another lamp. As far as I know we haven't replaced the lamps since I have been in school (3 years), so that might be it. Thanks for the tip shiben.
The teacher wants to replace them regardless. A new lamp may make them usable until we actually get new ones.
The color temp is right around 3300k, which should actually make it appear a little brighter than your Source Fours at about 3200k.
If you want a real purpose built Followspot, Robert Juliat Topaze units are around $7,500 to $8,500 and are some of the best Followspots out there and would be better than your Altman Comet's by several orders of magnitude.
