Abstract xp alternatives?

[musicologydisco]

As the xp range is no more and I am struggling to find a stockist, I'm looking for a range that does pretty much the same. With the xp's controller you could control different fixtures (flowers, scanners, barrels) so they all did the same thing. Also you could select one colour or gobo etc. Their controller was so simple to use with pre loaded dmx settings on a push-button pad. Is anyone else manufacturing a similar thing does anyone know? Or do you know a shop still selling the xp range?

We carry spares for the complete range of Abstract stuff if that's any help regards getting stuff for them. :)

Trouble is, as they get older the circuitry, connectors and wiring all seem to break down due to the heat so it's not just a case of new barrel or motors and stuff like that. I've got 3 spare xp3's which I use for spares when it's those type of things.

i used to have 2x xp1's 2x xp2's and 2 x xp3's i changed to 2x dynarock 250 and 2x dynamo 250 cheap as chips half the size and light as hell.

Do they look as good? And can you link them so they change colour together?

[Supreme Soundz]

yeah they look just fine and for the size and weight even better! I have mine on my overhead dynorock dynamo dynamo dynarock, I link the middle two and then the outers as I found this for a better show as as you cannot have 2 sound groups like with the abstracts you can only invert the mirrors which I have also done

these are the led's i dont like the dots but i found this whenresearching into looking for alternatives for my xp lights and wint for the 250 bulb version

[musicologydisco]

Yes I'll be wanting 250w halogen or 150 HID. LED's no good to me. I want bright beams and good quality gobo patterns.

I love my mad lighting scans, spins and powerflowers 9 years old and they are still going strong. I pick them up of flee bay when they turn up cheep great for parts.

[musicologydisco]

Dynaroll look good (twin barrel). Anyone know difference between the Dynarock and the rover? they seem to be the same?

[musicologydisco]

Ah I think I've got it. Rover has separate gobo and colour wheels whereas the Dynarock has filters fixed on the gobo wheel.

[Supreme Soundz]

that's the one think the flat mirror scanner with separate wheels is the winner I only went for the dyna rock and dynamos as they were cheap as and so compact even thought the colour and gobo wheel is combined the effect is still great IMO

got to agree with Pete about the power flowers, great light but b:Censored:y heavy due to the transformer :D
