Hi All

Made a decision to have a change of lights tonight and was hoping some of you may be able to give me some pointers as what may be good or bad.

My current set up is as follows

2 x iMove 250s moving heads
4 x NJD DMX250 Scanners
2 x iRock 5B Barrel Scanners
1 x Chauvet Hemisphere 5.1
4 x PAR 64

Im thinking of getting chauvet lights and my list so far sits at:

2 x Chauvet Intimidator spot 150
4 x Chauvet Intimidator Scan LED 200
1 x Scorpion BLU EU laser
1 x Chauvet Hemisphere 5.1

Questions from your masses of experiance is are the above good or bad? is there anything missing which I should be thinking about?

Everything gets mounted on my truss and it is mainly small to medium sized disco's i do.

cheers in advance

I fit a lot of Chauvet stuff in clubs. They never have any proper budget but want a BIG look so this gear fits the bill!

spot 150's are quite nice, very small and light weight, fairly basic, easy to use. If you can afford it Id go for 6 of these and not bother with the scans at all.

Scorpion lasers, well the look nice and they are cheap but Ive have no end of problems with Chauvet lasers. The power supplies in them are crap and the tend to pack up in no time at all. Just my experience in them.

Hems. I like these but im not so sure they are right for mobile use. The need to be placed up high over a dance floor. Think of them like a mirror ball. They are pretty but they need a lot of haze to get a really cool effect. Also they are a bit fragile. I would look at some of the other effects in the range. There are some pretty nice ones which may better suit you.
