Absolutely correct on the first half. Slow to market is unfortunately an accurate description for us. However it is FAR better (not "a little") than a 150W quartz flood. It's actually TWICE as bright as a
300W quartz Flood (we've done the isocandela
plot to verify) ... so that would make it 4x brighter than a 150W. 80% less energy than the 300W. 40,000 hrs. rated life vs. 2000 hrs....
Why
LED over
Fluorescent? (for the KREIOS FL, here's why):
-- No labor costs (lamp replacement).
-- small form factor.
--
Gel frame attachment.
-- IP 65 rated for outdoor use as well!
-- painted black to blend into the
stage/electrics when not in use
--
Yoke accepts all standard C-clamps for easy installation.
I was going to say high CRI- but there are some high
CRI fluorescent (tri or quad- phosphor) on the market these days.
