Hello guys,
I am new in this forum and decided to ask a question. After doing research for about a week, I cant seem to decide between the following models. PLEASE GIVE AND INPUT IF YOU CAN, it will be greatly appreciated.
Chauvet intimidator 450 ($1500) Products » Intimidator
• Light Source: 3x60W LEDs • Beam Angle: 19° • 23,680 lux @ 2m
-This is a new light from chauvet which made it difficult to find reviews and info on the item. I like this light because its brighter than the e spot. It is also heavier and bigger than the e spot as well. I am also not completely familiar with chauvet products and their reliability. I have read that their high-end products are good as opposed to their low end products, which are not that reliable. BUT, have no personal experience.
Elation e spot LED II ($1200) Elation Professional - Professional Lighting Products
• Light Source: 60W LED • 15° Beam Angle • 7776LUX @ 2.5M
(the e spot I is a 45W LED, less brighter and is $1500. Does anyone know why?)
-I like the features on this moving head. Even though it doesn't have the power (don't actually know for a fact that its less bright). I like the gobos integrated, the 5 split, the 3-D effect.
*I manage a band that plays at small to medium-size venues, bars, clubs, and rodeos (not big arenas). We are looking to investing in illumination with the hopes of renting equipment to other bands in the future (already doing some rentals now)
I also don't know whether to ditch the spots and go with beams. From what I've read they are very bright, and it seams to be that it is more professional to carry beams for shows. Please correct me if I am wrong. Was thinking about the chauvet intimidator 350 beams ($900)
Also, if you know of any moving head that would recommend, my budget it set to ~$1600 max.
Thanks for the help.
