Hya does anybody use the LED Parbar?
I quite like the look of them, not on a t-bar but used on a deck stand overhead bar.
Whats your views on them?

Really liking the idea of this, Wonder what the they are selling at when they come out, I like the idea of them being really compact and quick and easy to set up and take down.

Looks interesting, I currently use rather old heavy floodlights about the size of big car headlights which give a strong beam through filters.

I wonder if these might not have the same power over distance for lighting ceilings or walls?

Hopefully a lot lighter in weight:D

How much is the whole set up with stand roughly?

I think they look ugly.

Do they change colour, or is it single colour LEDs in each (like traditional PARs)?

Hooray, it's not just me then! :D :D
I'd guess it's RGB colour mixing, like most others. :confused:

I have two Ts with LED Pars on, I find them really versatile, especially with a good simple DMX controller like the Acme Visio one....can do gentle backlighting/mood lighting and can do lively chases and strobing for more upbeat stuff, 12 different colours....I assume these work similarly

Yeah, but the Visios are multi coloured & each one can be RGB. The ones in the pic look like they are single colour. If I was going for something like this, I'd go for 4 Visios on a bar (they're far prettier & by the looks of it more versatile.)

Never mind them, anybody know of any great deals on KAM LED 800 MKII's? I need at least one more, and they're not plentiful. :( Most of the similar ones from competitors are a few less LED's

You've had one answer, now I'd like one on a closely linked and inherently valuable question. ;) :D :D

Bar, you say...? I have 2 x Prolight LEDJ Blockbuster 6 bars.

Link --> HERE (http://prolight.co.uk/item/ledj73/?PHPSESSID=1e4028097a2bb41fbd4afb955209bba8) <--

Give a very nice wash on the dancefloor, have 10mm LED's, and can be run Master / Slave STL, pre-set programs or full DMX as you wish.

One plug to plug in for each item, one cable to link the two. Weigh 5 kg each bar - much less than the 4 Robocolors and controller they replaced!

Video of them on my rig --> HERE (http://www.slingshot.uk.com/fd/photos/fdr_lights_feb08.wmv) <--

A perfectly viable way forward in my opinion. If I hadn't gone with KAM, I might have done something similar. They're so much prettier than those blasted Pars. :eek:

Edit: Thanks Chris, only one minor flaw there, I've got the oblong model. The S suffix denotes "Strip" ie
bar shaped. Thanks for your help, I've been looking as well.

KAMs site states an SSP of £359.95 but they're on a few sites (Phase One and Disco World to name but 2) for £329.99. I was looking at them earlier one and they're now penciled in on my wishlist!

According to the public profile of PP Entertainments, that would be Chris, who I am thanking in my edit for his link to a smilar product to that which I was seeking. Sorry if it was confusing.

Lowest price on LEDJ Blockbuster 6's is around £135 per unit now...

apologies for resurrecting an old thread,

Just received some LED parbars today, and boy are they nice!

very versatile and easy to carry around and set up.
