That may sound like a strange comparison, but stick with me for a minute.
I posted a thread a while ago about mid-grade LED pars with a decent tungsten white. I got some great feedback and researched several models that I wasn't familiar with. The Martin Rush Par 2 is attractive for its brightness and zoom capability, but it's pretty big, which after looking at how I'm going to put these in road cases, seems to be somewhat of a concern.
Anyway, I started looking at the Chalet Rogue series, and it's getting generally good reviews, and is actually in the price range of non-mover PARs. I like the ETC Colorsource Par because it fits my road case scheme, but it requires extra lenses which will push the cost fairly close to the Rogue R1. The Rogue R1 is a little taller than I'd like, but actually is reasonably compact, and I could make it work case-wise, where LxW are more important than height.
So...
My intended application is front wash of people for mid-level corporate-type things. I need a half-decent tungsten look, and would really like to have one fixture able to do both warm white and colors. I previously hadn't considered a mover in this application, but the fixture zoom capability as well as not having to bounce the truss to focus the light definitely is attractive.
How does the R1 Wash do for tungsten white? Any guess as to relative output? Amy I crazy for thinking about this?
I really wish fixtures were more commonly rated in lumens rather than the mush of lux/distance/beam angle/field angle, etc.
Thanks!
