Moving heads.....again....again

[funkymike]

Ok Iam thinking and yes I beginning to like the moving head, style light or dots :teeth: I been checking them out on ebay some shops seen the videos had a play with some as well, and yes I agree they do look the mutts nuts, however may I pick all your brains......oh goody

Whats the difference between a standard 250 watt bulb and the 150 watt special bulb (cant think what its called) and they be interchanged?

So many makes, but they all look the same
STAIRVILLE - IMODE/ROCK to name but a few even the chavet light looks the same, are they?

Your advice chappies would be a great help before I spend more money

Discharge lamps. They will typically last 2000 hours, and will be much sharper and give a brighter white. In smoke they will cut through the air better.

They are also more robust in transport.

And no, they cannot be interchanged....

YES!

The 150 watt discharge lamps tend to give a more pronounced, clear and striking beam, the downside is that is that they usually tend to be more expensive, a LOT more expensive. They can't be interchanged.

All my "movers" use the cheaper 250 watt ELC lamps and they are still the dogs danglies :).

Take the plunge, get the movers...you won't regret it ;)

[Digitalsounds]

try looking at mini macs these are a starting point i think as im currently looking at these and martin makesome of the better quality movers

[funkymike]

Forgot to mention, in order to get the lights I got to sell some

nobody has said that discharge lamps are not only a brighter white.. but are also a whiter white, and therefore produce more vivid colours

theyre not expensive at all, if you take into account the advantages. what kind of head are you looking at mike?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Buy the Imoves Mike.

No-one on the mobile disco circuit will notice the difference.

[Thames Valley Discos]

BUT we will lol

No you won't.

Not in a crowded room, not in a gig situation and not if you're not overly technical.

[Paul James Promotions]

No you won't.

It's only really white you will notice the difference with.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Thank you Jamie. (The forum's technical genius :) )

Yes i will, cos mike will tell me what he bought. :)

[abyssdjhire]

i find the difference in white is instantly noticed, and the difference in colours is noticed no less

[Paul James Promotions]

But why would it be a problem if you are using only 1 type on a show?

When did you use heads then Liam?

I thought you used 2 Mad scans and a barrel?

[funkymike]

I think i would prefer the white to be a bit dimmer, as its the brightest colour, be less glare in the room.

[abyssdjhire]

oh sorry, again, i forgot i have no experience... despite the fact that we've had the same heads you've just bought dmxed with our mad equipment, and the mad scans washed them out.... we sell the bloody things remember?

but listen just forget it, i cant bloody say anything right anyway.

They all look the same to me - I'm colourblind!!!!!!!!!
