Automated Fixtures Looking to buy

[Toffee]

We are looking to purchase some new fixtures, preferably LED since one of our spaces is not the best on available power. Currently we own Mac 301 / 101, VL 2500 and VL1100. We are looking for a 2500 equivalent but LED, not one hundred percent sure on what we might wanna look at. Our electrics are normally trimmed around 25'.

I was actually looking at the SolaSpots.

I went to an open house at Vincent Lighting yesterday, and had a chance to work with the HES SolaTheatre and SolaFrame 750. I was really impressed with their feature set. A little pricier, I am afraid, than I can do right now, but really nice lights. Since you mentioned the Sola line, thought I would respond.

For framing fixtures there's also the Mac Encore in that price range, and the Maveric Mk2 Profile at a little over half that. For spots, the Artiste DaVinci, Maveric Mk1 & Mk2 spot, and the Mac Quantum. As for washes, it's really hard to beat the Rouge R2 at it's current price.

I have used the Quantums, and they are quite nice, but haven't used any of the others, so I cant make a good comparison, however the feature set of the DaVinci looks excellent. As for output/brightness any unit with 400 or so watt LED should be comparable.

I agree with Michael. If you like VL2500s, you will love any of the fixtures mentioned, except possibly the gobos in some of the Chauvet gear, which I find to be poorer than the VL gobos (I don’t much care for the Quantum gobos either). Other than that, the Maverick spot/profiles are much better fixtures than the VL770s I also own.

BTW, my Apple device has corrected “gobos” to goals, hobos, and go is just in this post alone.
