I haven't but a
regional theatre nearby has. In a shootout with a
Strand 8"
Fresnel, it was brighter when fully flooded, however, it doesn't spot down as much. It also has an odd
point in which is starts to flood back out with a drastic
drop in lumens when spotting it down, thus it's hard to
preset them to a spot.
Overal, they are great, brighter while using less
power (they have them lamped at 750w). They haven't used them in a show with individual saturated
gel yet so I couldn't tell you how that holds up.
The adjustable
yoke has come in handy as well.
The only negative seems to be the giant "Accessory Holder Door". They bought barndoors from
City Theatrical that are designed for the
ETC Par and they only fit in the outer slot. This causes a large amount of
spill out of the sides of the
fixture. This can be alleviated by either a dummy
gel frame in the inner slot or
BlackWrap. Even harder to deal with, the
Wybron color scrollers (unsure of model) prohibit this door from closing. They just had to shave off 1/8" from the
scroller frame itself in order to allow it to close. Not a deal
breaker obviously but still annoying.
Overal, they are working out great once the kinks were worked out!
