Sorry I didn't take any pictures. We were using the
Strand Palette VL gel match function and colors like R02, R33, R60/61 were very close. With a slight
manual tweak to the mix, we decided that they absolutely nailed the
Gel. We noticed that the Red, Yellow, Orange, Amber, Green... were all much better than those in my "K9 Lighting Bull Dog 2
LED PARS". Deep blue and purple was lacking in the CSP's, but lighter saturated blue and lavenders were great. I think it's a VERY good choice for places that do a lot of straight theater and I'm considering buying about a dozen of them for down light on
stage. If I did more concert and music stuff in my space, then I would be less excited about them, but I do mostly straight theater, so it's a great fit for my needs.
My biggest problem is those Chauvet ColorDash Par-Hex 12's are really intriguing. Having UV in the
fixture and saving about $100 each is very tempting. I would be giving up on
ETC's gold standard support, but I'm also confident that my friends at Chauvet would take good care of me. I wish I could do a side by side shoot out. If I can I'll let you know how it works out.
By the way
@Ford you might want to have someone proof read the
Colordash Par-Hex 12 page . I don't know about you, but I'm a little concerned about buying a
fixture which is "brilliant ultra-violent"
. Any device that is both brilliant and ultra-violent, is only a short step away from becoming self aware, which we all know leads to Skynet, Judgment Day, and terrible sequels decades later. Are ultra-violent fixtures safe for use around humans? What about actors?
