Well...they've been with me for a good few years now (8 to be precise!), and I've noticed recently that they're losing a LOT of their brightness. They're struggling now to cut through the wash lights which means they're on the way out
My Intimidator 305 barrels have been to more parties and weddings than I care to remember, and they've worked without fault each and every time. BUT...it's time to look to replace them.
I've not been keeping up with kit recently and local "show nights" keep getting cancelled, so no idea what's on the market at the moment.
What I DO know though is that I'm not interested in the Helix (or equivalent) gobo spewers, and I absolutely don't want moving heads (unless they can be mounted vertically to a pole which most I've seen won't do). I'm looking for something at LEAST 80w a side (preferably more), something where I can put in custom Gobos (such as hearts, snow and stars) and preferably available in white (although that's not a showstopper as modern vinyl is awesome at recovering fixtures). Whether they're a barrel or a scanner...I'm not too fussed so long as there's a prism mode.
So gents.....what's out there?
