    I think I like blizzard lighting is great. But they are a little over my budget. I checked out blizzard par's and it seems like I would have to cary more fixtures and that means more cables and more work.we are only 5 guys at the moment setting a whole rig (including soundcheck) in about 1-2...

    Does anyone here prefer the PAR wash LED's as opposed to the BAR wash LED's? I have been looking at the sticky that shows pictures of the shows you guys have and it seems like par LED's are proffered for stage? Is there a reason for this? They do look amazing.

    Thank you for the explanation. So there is a certain advantage of one over the other. I think I will go with the tri/quad led set up. Great, this reduces my options by 2/3 products. =) I will definitely take a look at the specifications sheets and make sure they have what they claim.

    soundlight,I had no idea that the 350's were comparable to a 250 MSD discharge. We played at a venue one time and the DJ had 200W discharge fixtures (dont know what brand), and they were bright enough for what we were doing. I thought they were actually very, very bright.The video you...
