Hello Everyone,
We have just completed a massive renovation to the auditorium that I work in. We upgraded seats, lobby, carpet, paint, sound, acoustics, and lighting. That being said, we were originally going to purchase Mac700s for a new FOH position, located about 8-10 feet away from the lip of the stage, but we were forced to make some cuts due to budgetary constraints. We were able to get some more funding for around $12,000-$13,000. It was suggested that we look into Vari-Lite VL1100s. It is my thought to purchase two of these units, which would cost around $11,000, but also leave some room for accessories and shipping. The two options are: VL1100TS or VL1100TI. The questions is: if you had to choose would you prefer the framing shutters or an iris?
Also, if there is any other moving light that you would suggest that could fit into our budget, I would gladly take the suggestions.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
