Oh I have no doubt, I believe you 100%.I just wish manufacturers would come up with some kind of measurements standards.I know what a MAC 700 outputs, but I don't know what a R2 Spot outputs. So when considering fixtures and looking for something similar or brighter than let's say a MAC 700...

Sorry for replying to this old thread, but there's something I must know! And I would be glad if someone could answer.Chauvet is rating their R2 Spot at 5500lx @ 5 meters, 16.5° beam angle (here).In this review, they are compared to a Martin MAC 700 with a brand new lamp.Martin rates their...

Aesthetics and beauty, not to mention the "loss" of light when you put on a diffuser that has the same angle as the fixture, just to get that homogenous look.

AHA! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for - thank you.I stil can't decide either.I eliminated and added some fixtures, so now I need to decide between the following: - ETC ColorSource PAR - ETC Desire D40 - Chauvet COLORado 3 Solo - Philips PAR 155 Zoom - Philips PUNCHLITE...

@bdkdesigns Thanks. I was leaning towards the ETC ColorSource PAR, but then according to photometrics data and user reviews I'm afraid they might not be as intense as I would like. When I read about them, people compared them to the Philips PAR 155, and said the Philips is more punchy. And then...

Thanks for your reply guys.@SteveB I forgot to mention that I'm looking for homogenised beam LEDs. That rules out the ETC Desire line unfortunately.@StradivariusBone Thanks, I'll check them out.C'mon people, help me out :)

And besides that? :)I mean, it's great that it's made in the States, but as far as I understand the output of the Chauvet/ProLights is greater, or am I wrong?What's their failure rate? And how much do parts cost?By the way, how about Robe's ParFect S1?And can someone please explain the...

Hi all,I'm considering two types of fixtures to replace my old 1000W and 750W flood and narrow par cans, and I'd like to hear your opinions - which one would you choose and why?They will be used as front warm white wash lights in theatre, rock concerts, dance shows, corporate events and...
