Given my budget, I have a dilemma - Four Chauvet Rogue R2 washes or six R1 washes?
The details:
The rig 22' above the rear of the stage; 36' wide, 33' deep.
We're a pretty conservative church (i.e. hazing is absolutely out!), so I just need it for color wash accents and occasional backlighting and top lighting during the odd productions.
The R1's would give me more flexibility because of having more fixtures, but I'm not sure if they'd be bright enough.
The bit of information I don't know when designing is what levels are sufficient for washes. I know I should shoot for 125 fc for the key/fill up front, but what about the rest of the stage?
FWIW, the R1's would save me $600...
