Hello Internet Friends:
The University I work for is looking to purchase moving lights for our theater. We currently have a full compliment of S4's, PAR's and Fresnels, as well as 8x SpectraCYC 400's and 14x ETC Vivid-R's. Control is on a ETC ION. We do musicals, plays, and dance, and hang plots for each show.
We are looking for 2x spots/profiles, and 4-6x washes.
Here our our considerations:
Weight: We have a 500 lb max on linesets, so lighter fixtures would be good.
Power Draw: We have 5 dedicated 20A circus, so less draw the better.
Noise: Being a smaller venue we the quieter the better.
Use: I am hoping to get 7-10 years of relevancy out of the fixtures for the students.
Some of my thoughts:
HES SolaFrame 750- Concerns about brightness, lack of second gobo wheel and volume level
HES SolaFrame Theater -EXPENSIVE, HEAVY
ETC Releve Spot- No shutters, basically a moving ColorSource Spot?
For the washes I am thinking Chauvet Rouge 1 or 2 washes, or the Martin RUSH Wash MH6. I would rather purchase more expensive spots and cheaper washes.
Thoughts/Suggestions?
