Nope, not another thread about what sort of elation or Chinese department store brand moving head a high school should buy. No, I want real heads and have the funds to back it up. Lets set the budget at about $150K but its flexible. I am interested in at least ten lights total. Probably want a 2:3 ratio of spots to washes if not a 1:1. All CMY, all greater than or equal to 575W, must be robust and easy to service, ect.. Standard proscenium theater with a house of 600-700 people,
Here are my initial thoughts:
4-6 for front of house something especially bright (I had a consultant recommend a Varilite 3500 spot but I am think along the lines of an HES Intellaspot XT-1 or a Varilight 2500 [I think the throw is only like 35' max])
4-6 washes for on stage something versatile (like an HES studio color 575w mustn't be to bright as I want to use it in a black box as well)
2-4 spots for on stage again versatility (like a HES studio spot 575W, mustn't be to bright as I want to use it in a black box as well)
Did I mention it's for a new facility? Oh and don't give me any of that Gafftaper Method stuff. I have a separate budget for conventionals.
Now obviously the High End 575W stuff isn't for sale in the US anymore. So any suggestions for alternatives are welcome.
