[SML] Colorsource Spot vs incandescent S4

[Matthew Breton]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of numbers to compare -- 575 or 750W conventional, versus exactly which version of a Lustr or ColorSource?


>From personal experience, I can tell you that the Series 2 Lustrs do quite well when comparing full intensity in open white to a 575w conventional.  Their numerous side benefits (color mixing, built-in dimmer, never needing gel or color media again) really do outweigh their drawbacks.  There are a few colors that no LED fixture I've seen yet seems to be able to hit, but overall I think the benefit is very strongly toward the LEDs.


You could always go to a rental shop, or work renting on or two into a budget to arrange for a shoot-out.

Subject: [SML] Colorsource Spot vs incandescent S4

So I was looking at a spreadsheet someone built, comparing the various
flavors of Source Fours (Lustres, Colorsource, incandescent), plus
other LED goodies from ETC, and just looking at some sample numbers
(all emitters on, 3200K, 5600K whites) it looks like both the latest
Lustres and the Colorsources seem to be around 1/2 the footcandles of
the old-skool incandescent Source Fours?  Really?

Anyone have any experiences from a side-by-side shoot-out?
