Yup, you made it sound as though S4s are like all the people riding around with H.I.D. headlights compared to standard lights. Optics play the best role in the quality of light. Its just like a Mac 550 out shines a Studio Spot 575 even though its a 400w lamp vs a 575w lamp.
The point of me making this post is I have my boss who has built a company from the ground up saying to me we could've did something with a cheaper product. I don't like using cheaper products unless there is a really good reason. The fact that after you get all the angles for a Par 64 with more expensive lamps and a higher power consumption vs a S4 Par with better optics, more power efficient, smaller, and less inventory is a good reason not to go with the 64. As far as lekos go, thankfully the only thing I use is S4s. There is just nothing else out there that can compare. The competition isn't as bright, uses too much power, or costs far more.
Logos, I am pretty positive that a S4 doesn't have a 'set' voltage. Its just based on the type of lamp you put in them, they come in 77v for double dimming, 115v, 120v, 230v, and 240v for whatever your voltage is. The configuration of the lamp is the same, just different voltage is all. The only ones different are the 750w with the extra metal pin so they can't be put in S4 Jrs, S4 MCM Pars, and older S4 base caps before the release of the 750w HPL lamp.
