Even my setup changes now and again..................
New arrivals.
a pair of chauvet obsessios 2`s.
New departures.
a pair of abstract extreme XP5`s.
The Obsessions are very similar to the Acme cougars , I was looking at the acme cheaters , but IMO they did not warrant the high price , and a side by side comparison showed the cheaters were not much brighter (50w v 10w).
I can live with the combined gobo/colour wheel , I can still run as slowly rotating white for first dances , then just pull the DMX lead out.
The XP5`s were getting old ,and had seen their best , there was play in the gobo motor dish spindle , therefore the gobs were never lined up to give a sharp image , one unit will not transmit a DMX signal ( no problem if it`s the last in the chain)
They were going through lamps at a unacceptable rate , plus they were heavy........:( , sad to see them go , but nothing lasts for ever.
