I think I'll probably be sticking to the regular cheaper versions as I don't really do huge events and the 10w in my moving head is OK... ADJ = 10w the Abyss is 15w
Although I wonder if it's as simple as removing the 15w and buying a 50w LED and maybe a resistor change or something like that (not an electronics expert) probably only cost £20 for a 50w LED and would save £130!!

I suspect you might already know the answer to that...
Otherwise people would be upgrading Acme Cougar's (and Chauvet Obsessions) to be as bright as the Cheetah's...

If you think about it, a 15w light source needs electronics that can produce enough energy to power it. A 50w light source will need more than 3 times that power source. So, you'd need to upgrade the electronics as well!

Just been fiddling around with figures and Ohm's law ... all I should need to do is change the resistor from a 6k ohms resistor to a 1.2k ohms resistor and possibly a couple of new, higher current wires
No doubt it'll be hotter so maybe install a fan into the fixture ... hmmm might be a little project for me!
May give this one a go with my white 3w spotlight then at least if it breaks it's £30 and not £130's worth of light I've blown up.
50w white LED is only £4 as well!!

Or just buy the light.
The light that will work.
And will come with a warranty should it stop working.

I tried doing this a few years back (except converting halogen fixtures to LED) and the biggest challenge was getting the optics right.
LED's have come a long way in the last 4yrs though so I'd imagine this would be considerably easier now.

Well, there's always that option!
