Hello. I am a technical theatre teacher at a high school and I am preparing to order some new lighting equipment for the theatre. My original grant was written for 4 elation design pro washes, 2 elation power spot 700's, and a element console. I am found out I am also able to maybe get 2 of the selador vivid-R 11" fixtures. Now here's my problem, Our grid at the theatre is fixed about 30-35ft. I was wondering if the equipment on the order, specifically the design wash pro's would be worth getting. Or should I only get two of them and maybe get a few more vivid's? I have done some research but to be honest the whole Lumens X meters thing confuses me a bit. I want to get maximum color and flexibility for the stage while trying to keep the kids learning on current industry standards (Or as close to it as I can afford).
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
