Chauvet Q-Spot 260 LED review (part 2)

Just got the Chauvet Q-Spot 260 LED, no other reviews so I thought I'd take it for a spin.

do soft cases exsist for moving heads? if so, would u be able to tell me some names and models



[ParadoxProLive]

@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!

[ParadoxProLive]

@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.

Cameron, Thanks for the review. Very helpful and you do nice job walking one through the fixture.  Keep em' coming!

[ParadoxProLive]

@boolanger Glad to help.

@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.

[Sweenracer76]

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