I use this forum for lots of reference but I don't usually ask questions but have come up with issues. I am a theater tech at a high school theatre and work all performances and do pretty much everything there is to do. To give a little background, because this was a high school that was built in 2004 everything is STRAND including the ancient lighting board that will soon be replaced with an ETC(ETC Element Control EOS). My boss has asked me what lights I would like to be replaced if any(I would like to replace everything but that is not going to happen..) and he is considering upgrading to LEDs. He wanted to do my wash since that is what he just replaced at another high school in the district but I am really wanting to do the cyc lights instead. He spent $350 ea on new LED pars and a total of about $6300, which will be my budget for new lights also. My Current cyc lights are above on an electric about 4ft away from the cyc. There are 6 Double 1500w fixtures currently there and I love the intensity that they give but replacing gels every 3 hours of use gets tiring and now the mesh shields are so bad with burnt gels there are dark spots all over.
Please help me out and let me know what I could do to light up the cyc with LEDs in the budget of $6500. Pictures will come when I get time to take some.
EDIT:
Here is a picture from about a year ago where I didn't have so many issues with my cyc except that colors did NOT mix well..
