Originally designed to mimic an ACL beam, the line was later expanded to include wide, medium, and narrow beam spreads. Among the drawbacks are the relatively short life (75 hours) of the DYS lamp.

Yes, Raylights, invented by Doug Ray, the old LD for the Hooters and an old client of mine in 1982. He swore by them (of course) but I never warmed up to them. The beams might be looked at as an NSP with a bit of a frost. The original ones, built around reflectors bought from Edmund Scientific had a very sharp focus, much like an ACL, but once they went into mass production, a much cheaper reflector was used. Never say never! Yes, Doug, after 26 years I find myself using your invention! They are available in PAR 56, and 64, and the one thing they can't be beat on is weight. I have a couple of 56 bars with 4 lights on them. Cans are aluminum. You can pick the whole bar up with one finger! (great for low ceiling clubs.) Now, for the down side. As they are open reflectors they get dirty. Also, the lamps have a shorter life. But, the reflector/adapter can be had for about $6, and the 600 w DYS is about $6 as well.
