So I'm looking at buying some LED pars to handle colour wash of my stage. I have about $7000 budget for this, and am trying to figure out if it is possible.
It seems to me the important spec to look at is lux or fc from my distance (14' or ~4.2 meters), but I have no idea what value is adequate to cut through a decent white wash.
From my searching so far, these options seem to stick out at me:
COLORado 1 Tour (only 15* beam angle though)
COLORado 2 Tour (optional 30* lens with higher output, but twice the price)
COLORado Zoom Tour (zooms to 30* beam, but then ouputs 550lux @5m which seems low - also can't find MSRP to work from)
Blizzard ProPar Quadra (only gives lux @1m - 13,450)
Lightronics FXLD336C3I (only gives lux @6.5', @20', @30'. 450lux @20' seems too low)
So, do you think I can adequately wash a 35' x 22' stage from 14' with $7000 worth of these, or any other, fixtures? What lux value should I aim for?
Thanks for any and all comments or suggestions!
