So, I'm donig a major lighting upgrade this summer, excluding either of these, but when Xmas comes around, I'll probably do another upgrade.

So anyone had any experience with the Funky Daddy-o's? I can't seem to find many reviews that I can rely on, and theres not a dealer for miles from where I am.

If anyone has any, or seen any a quick review would be awesome, I'm after something of the same quality (light wise/optics) as the acme knight spot.

Cheers,

Just watched the video. The optics (even on that shockingly bad video) look really good. I'd deffo buy a pair over the Acme Knight Spots/ iSolution version!

Thanks for finding that Sam.

(the only thing that strikes me from the photo is that it isnt very bright.. how does it compare to say the iMove)

Have just had a look at this video again.

I have my suspisions that this video is of a robe unit. My reasons are:

- In promo pics the Funky version has "Funky Daddy-O" written on the base and the head. You can't see the place where it's written on the base in this video, but you can see the head....and it's not there.

- The video has a file name of a robe model number.

That seems a bit strange..
They deffo said it was and I am under the impression that it was the funky o..
I think the printed name is on the other side of the head..
but who knows
