Anyone know if these are available yet in the uk?

Apparently Google does. First result.

second result.

Assuming of course that the blasted things actually are in stock, rather than simply being advertised.

First link is "pre-order" only. Second link allows me to get as far as entering payment details (I didn't want to go any further as I don't actually want to buy it at this point - was just researching the OP question of is it available in the UK yet).

The fact that other UK Chauvet suppliers aren't advertising it yet would lead me to assume that, perhaps, it hasn't been released her just yet.

so why not pick up the phone and give them a ring ?

[Excalibur]

Well done Dazzy, for more in-depth research than I had done, and very well done to Creature for a suggestion beautiful in its simplicity. Well done lads.

As as an aside, having watched the video, I wonder if under DMX control, it could be used to mimic the effect of these accursed mirror balls, using the white leds only? Food for thought.

Because a phone call costs money whereas the web is free once I've paid my monthly fee! Also, I didn't want to buy it and was only trying to answer woodyo's question.

Besides I was still in bed!

No!

No!

Phone a friend? I'm in a local Golf Club tonight, and guess what is the only lighting effect installed there, up in the rafters. Yup. And the blighters insist on using it all night, every night.

As part of my toy buying frenzy....cough ahem I mean 'Business Investment' I took delivery of one of these tonight and, in the living room demo of it, I was blown away. Having recently taken on a Martin EFX500 the coverage and brightness was comparable (with the Kinta being the less capable of the two admittedly).

As a new centrepiece light I'm really happy with it, as I've run a little Greenwich Instruments demo with it alongside 2 heads and 2 led pars, and it gives me a really flexible show.


And yes Peter, I did manage a nice slow white only swirl. Really looking forward to trying it in a real life situ tomorrow night.

Picked up a Gobo Zoom 2.0 aswell to start offering personalised Gobos too, and equally pleased with that.

Two thumbs up Chauvet

Yep, got one last week, the Gear 4 DJs guys have them. I like it. Great value, powerful little light.
