Hello Forum land!
I work at a music conservatory and we are trying to update our lighting system but that comes with a lot of complications. We have an organ loft that is no longer used for said instrument and now houses lights for the apron of the stage, mostly to light music stands. There are currently 15 Altman 3.5 Q 10's lamped at 500 watts up there and we are looking to replace them with something more energy efficient. The loft is at about 40 feet above the stage and the lights shoot through 4"x4" holes of vintage wood. The lights currently have small top hats on them and the new lights would have to do the same to keep the heat of the wood. Has anyone had or tried the new Altman CDM units? How is their output compared to the conventional fixture? Does anyone know of LED units with high enough output that don't cost 5 billion dollars? Thanks for any help I can get.
