I've been told the same of my FX Par 9s, but I don't dim them. The full show has four of them and not a single grumble has occurred - in fact, quite a few examples of the opposite.

Out of interest, what's your plan in terms of mounting them at the top of the pole?

1 x Wash FX + 2 x 305 barrels on one single pole with a short t-bar to mount the 305s on will manage even the larger venues, so will be a perfectly compact set up for smaller venues.
For anyone interested in the brightness, here's a couple of videos from my old Wash FX 2 (on 20% brightness!)

Going to bring the poles, the 305s and some brackets home to play this evening.
"Normally" I'd look to use top-hats, but for some reason a 35mm top hat doesn't fit on a 35mm gravity pole (well it does....but it's a to get off again), so the past couple of gigs I've used half couplers. There's also the option of using an M8 bolt in the tops of the Gravity poles, but that takes longer to faff around with on the night.
The idea of converting back to a T-Bar though.....hmmmmm.....not sure about that. I prefer the lights to be in front of me (i.e. level with the booth, which the Gravity stands achieve perfectly).
Will have a play tonight and see what I come up with.

The entire light show now then consists of:
2 x Wash FX2
2 X Intimidator 305 barrels
(both of the above will live on a pair of Gravity poles...so no more tripods!)

WOW! I love technology!
Ahem! In post #2 I pointed out they were insanely bright, which is what I quoted from you, not the fact that they'd arrived. Do keep up at the back, please.
I see you're beginning to follow us trailblazers, even if you aren't using the same kit. My standard rig is now two Hadrons on poles. Two Crossfire XPs join them for larger gigs. Nice when you can carry your entire large lighting rig in at one trip, isn't it?

I'm looking forward to seeing a picture of the set up once you've taken it out
