I am always amazed at how much fire and brimstone fly about when the subject of
LED stage lighting comes up!
My original post only covered how impressed I was with the PixelArc C. Mind you, they were using 28 of them, and at $3600 each, that works out to $100,800 !! (Disney can afford to do those kind of things.)
LEDs are the future, and lamenting over the old
incandescent and quartz fixtures reminds me of listening to my grandfather tell me that the only true locomotives were those powered by a wood burning steam engine.
Now, back to the real world: I can't afford them, so I have plenty of the old "Steam Engines!" I am not recommending them to anybody at the moment, but when I look in my rearview mirror, I see them catching up quickly and with enough speed to leave us all in the dust!
In this and every other business, we have to be looking a few years in the future in order to make the decisions we need make today. My visits to Disney always seem to give me a glimpse into that future! (Without having to spend all that money like I did on the computer revolution.)
