    Default Chauvet 4Play

    Has anyone seen these in the flesh?

    http://www.soundlightuk.com/shop/pro...4Play-LED.html

    What did you think of them? (Other than the fact that I know many don't like 'dots'... I know that, but am asking for other thoughts)

    They look like they might be a good, quick, easy solution for a small set up in a hurry.

    What do you think?

    I think it's crap, to be honest.

    An ADJ Quad Gem DMX or an Acme MiracLED are both cheaper than that and do the same job. Although the 4Play can be moved, I don't think it's a major advantage. Plus is looks incredibly ugly - even more so than an ImpossibLED!

    The advantage Ollie is it's easier to transport and setup.

    You could use that as a whole light show - where size/time is an issue.

    You're telling me, that monstrosity is EASIER and QUICKER than putting an Acme MiracLED up? It looks way bigger than one too.

    It looks easy enough to plonk on a stand. Similar size to the kam led pars?

    It's not the same as a MiracLED. It would cover a much wider area and you can point the lights in different directions.

    I think with a bit of haze - it would look all right.

    .....Maybe.

    It's horrible! i'd rather just put up a couple of LED bars and an impossibled if i was in that much of a hurry.

    Tell you what, there are soooooo many effects now that are all the same that I am just going to save my money to get some bigger effects, like a couple of the Vizi Spot 5R Moving Heads. Bright, serious impact and versitle.

    I reckon it'd look even worse in haze, with random beams shooting out - it'll look un-organised. Technically, it doesn't cover a wider area, because there will be big gaps where the effect will miss.

    We'll agree to disagree on this one I think

    Not a very appropriate name at all.
    If you like dots, quite a handy system, but personally I think there are far better lights for the price.
