Acme Dynamo 100w Versus LED Version?

[welby]

Hi,

has anyone compared the Acme Dynamo 100W scanner to the LED version and to what differences there are, beside the obvious weight saving on the led version.

Just curious as I have been looking at a 4 pack 100W version for a while and can't decide which way to go.

Thanks.

don't think the led ones have gobo's just dots

Yep, Andys Right, dots only for now in the LED ones :( - Bit pants IMO :)

Well I have the 4x 100 watts for sale andim just up the road I dont have the led ones fore sale :)
Just kidding I had a chance to see some of these they are unfortuatly not very good. Imagine the impossibled dots then you can move it around. Bright but very boring to be honest. The standard ones are far better or even the 250 watt version although I prefer the 100 watt version myself as the bulbs last longer and the brightness is not really much different between the 2.

Aha - you can now get LED dynamos with gobos in. I am suprised they have not been mentioned yet.

I visited my local dj shop last weekend and he had them on show. They did look really good in the shop but the price tag of £215 each (I think) may put a lot of people off.

As for dots - stay clear imo.

I agree with Matt, the lamps ( keeping Darren happy ;) ) last a long time and I have only lost one out of four since I bought the 100w dynatwins.

They were probably weakened a couple of years ago when they got smashed into the floor :eek:

I think a mixture of LED and conventional lamps gives a good balance.

And then theres lasers:D

Until the LED fixtures get gobos and a lower price, my vote is mixture of Filament/LED. What ratio is the tricky bit. :confused:

yeah they seem to like the acme casings and like to experiment with what they put inside it. Not a bad idea as I quite like the dynamo housing they use. But I think maybe if they used the gogo led arrangment like the
american dj x-moves or similar they may have more success in the marketing.
If they had a decent 20watt led with good optics and gobos in the standard housing to match the others in the range like the dynamos and dynarocks I would definatly upgrade to them. Hope your listening acme and prolight :)

Got a link just googled it and all that comes up with ones with dots in that are about £80 per fixture.

Ive had a look on prolights website and cant find an led one with gobos anywhere on the site :confused:

[WWDJ]

Here you go ... it's called the Genesis Scanner

Until they start bringing them out with rotating replaceable gobos i'm not going to bother. i'll stick my trusty EVL Pro Scan 150s thanks.

Ah just what I was saying :) glad they listened fast work guys :) Wonder how they look at distance compared to the 100 watt versions.
