Here are some images from my test as a backlight.
Truss trim height was 26'-6".
Narrow PARs with R26, R80, and L090.
Rough appoximation of color in the Luxium Primo.
The Primo is a larger beam.
The
flare that I was concerned about did not prove to be a problem.
I had the
fixture on with a
PAR when my boss came into the
theatre. His response to the Primo was that it looked like a
PAR. This is because the lamp is set back into the
fixture which is a look that I find more pleasant than the
LED emitters right at the
face of the
fixture.
I was showing it to another friend. When I turned on the red, he thought it wasn't very red. Then, I turned on the MFL
PAR with R26 next to it. And, he thought they were pretty comparable for color and
intensity.
As I posted before, the blue is a deep blue. So, to approximate the R80, I added a bunch of green and lime.
The beam is not as defined as an NSP. But, since I am pairing these with a selection of moving lights, I can let the moving lights provide the beams in the air.
I thought about the RJ45 vs
XLR. In the back of the
PAR can, it is going to be easier to make the connection with the RJ45. We are pretty good here about not abusing our gear, so I am not overly concerned. I have some ideas about how to modify existing PARs and lamp bars if these work out.
I am looking to buy a dozen. This will give me enough to do one US
wash in either our
Arena (Pre-Rigged
Truss) or Lyric (
theatre battens) configurations.
