Hi all,
I'm helping to determine the viability of replacing house/work lights with a current LED option. The specific venue in question is about a 50x100ft rectangle with an 18ft ceiling height. The current houselights are wall-mounted sconces, and during cleaning and load-in/out a number of ceiling-mounted 400w metal halide worklights are used. Given the amount of attention LED retrofits have had over the past few years, the idea has come up if both the houselights and the worklights can be replaced with a single LED solution. My question is if there are any products currently on the market that can deliver a somewhat equivalent output to the 400w worklights. 50FC is a ballpark minimum illuminance and full color mixing is desired. Has anyone here done anything similar? I have yet to really calculate anything, but my first thought is to consider something along the lines of the Elation SixPar Z19. They at least seem to have enough output at a wide angle. The Fuze Par Z120 also comes to mind, but would need to be used in higher multiples to get enough brightness. Is there anything else out there worth looking at? I'm only interested in the viability of current market offerings to do this - don't want to talk the logistics of control/electrical/mounting/etc. Thanks!
