If the FX Par 9 is similar enough in brightness these will be my next lighting purchase.
Would love to see a video of that - I was never able to achieve the fade I wanted and always ran it in DMX... it seemed the fade curve was a bit strange, where it'd barely dim as you pulled down the from 255 down to about 50 - and then it'd very quickly disappear after that. So was hard to achieve a smooth fade in Freestyler - was always a bit "sharp".

Ah well I dunno if you've noticed with yours, but mine really doesn't like being videoed.. it flickers like hell on all the cameras I have at my disposal

I sort of take this back. When it fades from colour to colour, it is as smooth as a baby's backside.
From blackout into a full beam, it is a little bit jittery. Maybe I noticed it more after staring at it for ages, but it is there. Mrs. Benny didn't notice it and still couldn't after I pointed it out.

Finally got into a function room what I could a quick video of the FX Par 9s in action before the gusts arrive.
Here's a quick little light show.
There was also a question of how smoothly they transfer from one colour to another, so I recorded this to show that.

Well. Benny that's some very nice programming indeed. I think the FX Pars aren't what's blinding the camera though - that's almost definitely one or more of your movers catching it right in the lens. Probably means the FX Pars are bright enough for a general dancefloor wash - and I've been looking for something to one day replace my gigabar. A couple of these would probably do a fair job for most my gigs

Cheers, Justin. As for probably being bright enough, well...
Four of them washed that room out. I suspect that two would have done the job, to be fair.

What be this light?
The last one I saw that achieved this is the excellent Intimidator Trio from Chauvet... will be interesting if there's a competitor to that that's been produced...

Could be the new thing from Equinox. Saturn, I think they're calling it.
