@detroit110 To be clear, I don't know of any specifically designed (fitted) for moving heads but there are a few that would work in a pinch like the Chauvet CHS-50. There is a very similar Arriba case as well, ADJ has a stackable soft case, but I'm not really sure how well it would work for more sensitive fixtures. Like I said none of these will give you the same protection as a hard case, but its better than nothing.
Hey there, Can you compare the output of the intensity of the light? Is it comparable to that of a powerspot/MAC 250? What is the LED bulb wattage? I am a lighting engineer for a productions company here in Wisconsin. Thanks!
@monstervison6 the 260 has a 60watt white led. The output is just slightly less then a mac250. If you can imagine a 230 watt halogen lamp, that would be about right. And the lamp is more of a daylight blue, not halogen yellow. Its a really good all purpose fixture.
@shandirewis The torrent90 does look nice, but A GRAND CHEAPER WOULD MAKE IT FREE. Its obviously not. The gobos are pretty cool, but that fixture is more for large venue applications a 90w led is positively blinding for anyone in close proximity. But, hey if blizzard want to shoot me a couple I'd be happy to give it a good rundown.
@Sweenracer76 I used a controller (Chauvet Obey 40) to go through the features. Then I let the lights run in auto mode (master/slave) for the demo at the end. I haven't used the built in interface, Its a good idea but not very user friendly.
I love my Q-Spot 260's. I need two more now! My only complaint is the built in programs, they only have a few steps and quickly become repetitive...but then again that's why I have ShowXpress...great review!
@tuxedoedshrimp Agreed, the built in programs are a bit lacking. I'm wondering when someone is going to add a usb port to an intelligent fixture, and then create downloadable programs/steps. (Chauvet, if you use this, I want a kick back.) But, yeah, I recommend some sort of control board/software. Of course in this price range that's sort of expected. Thanks for watching.
DJ Perez, Thanks for the review, very helpful. I love the idea of being able to program the light itself. Image spending a little time programming them, linking together 4 of them and letting them roll.
Nice review bro, I picked up 2 after watching.

Are you using a DMX controller for this video or using the built in interface?
