Believe it or not, those Techno Beams were only 250W fixtures. Their brightness is proof positive of the optical quality HES is known for.

Well, what I know for sure is that the entire shutter mechanism can be rotated 50 degrees in either direction and the blades can individually be rotated 30 degrees in either direction. However, I can't say if the blades are fully closing. I searched the manual and it says that 0 is open and 255 is closed, so it seems like it's possible.Strad -- Can the framing shutters in the VL each fully cut the beam? On the Clay Packy site as discussed in a thread on LN, their framing shutters can each independently fully cut off the entire beam, in addition to rotating each shutter and rotating the whole shutter mechanism. There is a demo of this on the Clay Packy home page that is VERY well put together -- some really great programming if nothing else. No pan or tilt was used -- just the shutters.
I suppose the big questions is, what are you using them for? The TW1 is not the only tungsten lamp ML with CMY. Are you looking specifically for a wash fixture or do you need the capabilities of a profile? The VL1K-T (either shutters OR iris) gives you the tungsten source plus gobos, CMY, and shutters or iris. I am only mentioning this to makes sure that you know that the TW1 is not the only tungsten ML with CMY. All I have heard about the TW1 are good things.I'm not sure whether anyone read this or not (the post was deleted in the crash) I need to rent probably 4-8 Mac TW1's for an upcoming show or something similar, but I haven't heard much about them. It probably doesn't help that you can search for TW1 (character limit) Basically i want something which will blend with the conventional, hence the tungsten source, and have CMY mixing. I will also need a console to drive them (I am thinking a hog 1000) and will need to rent it for about a month.
Does anyone have any suggestions or any experience with the TW1, and for any aussies, anywhere I can rent them? (I am in Brisbane, but can pretty much rent from anywhere in Australia which is cheap) Please consider this is a school with a limited budget and, yes I realise this will be expensive but I would like to keep it as low as possible.
