A local venue I work at has pondered replacing all ERS (front lighting) Lekos (currently conventional Source Fours) with LED Moving Heads. Obviously doing a 1:1 swap would be insanely expensive. But if we replaced our stage wash with say 4 or 5 Ayrton Ghiblis on each batten.
They believe that the focusing, moving and color mixing capabilities would make them a better choice.
*Hypothetically* If you had an unlimited budget, would you do this? What are some downsides and reasons we would go with, say, Source Four Series 2 LEDs instead (other than "that's the way it's always been"). Would it even look good on video? (think how good Apple's livestreams have been, they use Source Four LEDs in their new SJ theater).
