    Default Abstract xp alternatives?

    As the xp range is no more and I am struggling to find a stockist, I'm looking for a range that does pretty much the same. With the xp's controller you could control different fixtures (flowers, scanners, barrels) so they all did the same thing. Also you could select one colour or gobo etc. Their controller was so simple to use with pre loaded dmx settings on a push-button pad. Is anyone else manufacturing a similar thing does anyone know? Or do you know a shop still selling the xp range?

    Trouble is, as they get older the circuitry, connectors and wiring all seem to break down due to the heat so it's not just a case of new barrel or motors and stuff like that. I've got 3 spare xp3's which I use for spares when it's those type of things.

    Do they look as good? And can you link them so they change colour together?

    yeah they look just fine and for the size and weight even better! I have mine on my overhead dynorock dynamo dynamo dynarock, I link the middle two and then the outers as I found this for a better show as as you cannot have 2 sound groups like with the abstracts you can only invert the mirrors which I have also done

    Yes I'll be wanting 250w halogen or 150 HID. LED's no good to me. I want bright beams and good quality gobo patterns.
