David - that first link (ebay link) that you have posted to - unless I'm missing the obvious, I could not even see whom the manufacturer of those movers was :confused:

DMC - Tom has some X-move LEDs which look very nice

here is a link to the thread : http://www.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=17093

I prefer the chauvet to be honest was just wondering if there was anything better with that budget?

Also i have 4 heads at moment but would like ones with rotating gobos

LED Fixtures - the way forward as far as DJ lighting is concerned. no more broken bulbs, much lighter as they don't need a massive ballast, and generally a lot more compact

[Bouncy Dancefloor]

LED moving heads arent bright enough yet, the X Move are meant to be comparable to a 250w Halogen lamp (yet im not convinced) The original poster is looking at 250w MSD lamps!!!!

The Ebay lights look good and include flightcases, but they are just cheap imported chinese knockoffs, have you really got the backup that they promise???

The Chauvet, ive not seen this product but id be reluctant to spend so much on any product by Chauvet, they have disapointed me time and time again and i dont think i could spend £600+ a head with them when there are products and companies with better reputations out there

the third link is what id be looking at myself, the Isolution range is great and they are the only compromise i would make before looking at Martin/Robe heads. Also prolight who sell them have excellent backup

I like those , are they available here and any idea on price ?

[dmckaraoke]

No led is not the way to go just yet there bright but no enough fo moving heads just yet....

I really want something where the gobo can rotate and removable to install custom gobo's

[OllieJames]

$1299 USD

so around: £894.511 ;)

Alot of money, not as much as MACs, but still alot. They don't have rotating gobos either, only a rotating prism. Not too sure on the UK availability.

I highly recommend the iMove 250S (http://prolight.co.uk/item/ISIM07/). Nice units.

Now they are cool! :cool:

[Shaun]

Apart from the image of the actual unit, none of the images or videos in the link are of the iMove 250S. :confused: :confused:

Prolight, get yer act together!

*Edit: The second video link does, but it doesn't do it any justice.

If being imported from USA dont forget two things which might happen similar to myself following importing my Giant US Flag :D

1. VAT charged by customs followed by a Parcelforce charge.

2.The nightmare that is Parcelforce :eek:

They charged me £8 for the pleasure of screwing up the delivery.

I guess the US dealer may use proper International Carriers, whatever you do INSIST on insurance.

American DJ stuff is also available from most big DJ stores in the UK.

Have a look at the EVL range of moving heads, which strangly I use 6 mini spots, very good prices on ebay, i think they are built a lot better than a lot of makes around including imoves, they have rotating gobos and all the the other tricks the bigger lights have. plus really good brackes for truss hanging.

Also there after service is great even if you didnt buy direct from then, but be warned if you buy from ebay you might get different software versions so they will work differently to each other but this is easly fixed.

There are more expensive led movers about which are very bright.

The cheaper end moving heads, the Genesis and X Move are OK for small to medium venues, but I certainly don't think they would be bright enough or have enough throw for a larger venue.

Can you recommend any?

Not off hand, but I have seen them at shows.:o

[Grahame Case]

this thread will prove quite useful for me, so i'm keeping an eye on it.

Looking to add in some intelligent luminaries this year, and generally swaying towards LED

[Bouncy Dancefloor]

575's are going a bit beyond "mobile disco" IMO, what type of venues are you working in????
