Just bought the DSB v2 with led black cloth, My dilema now is, What lights to use, do I go with the powerbar (clone :D ) or do I use my 4play to my right with a couple of scanners on a T-bar to my left. I have £700 to play with and really am so un-decided (never been like this before :eek: ).

I know at the end of the day someone will say " its up to you Gra" but some help would be good.

What about 4play behind me and a couple of moving head washes 1 on each side, Would that work.

I think the 4Play is a good move, then maybe a couple of scanners ?

p.s. I use my 4Paly quite a lot now for my functions :)

If your "Powerbar Clone" is of a Teutonic origin, you can hang it centrally from an Ultimax overhead, and hang a scanner/Barrel at each end. I've often used mine with a laser at each end instead, works well.

A Wizard on each upright, with the bar on a tripod is an option too.

I applaud your desire for individuality, but no matter what I try, I keep coming back to it. Since I value symetry on the rig very very highly, for a fleeting moment I considered obtaining a second Powerbar, and mounting one on each Ultimax upright, but I decided against it, as I thought it might blind too many punters. :eek: :eek: :eek:

For £700 you could get a pair of ADJ X-Move LED Plus R moving heads.

They're currently on my wish list and they're getting pretty decent reviews

Personally, I wouldn't buy any LED moving head less than 50 watt, they just don't cut it for me for all that money.

I take it, these would hang ok from a T-Bar?
