I'd like to recommend replacements and I've been starting to mull over LED pars. I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts on different fixtures at the community theater level (i.e. inexpensive). They would mostly get used to replace Fresnels as top light. I'm starting to do my own research but am open to any input I can get. Thanks.

I have a large quantity of Chauvet SlimPar Pro RGBA’s that have worked well for us.  Inexpensive, nice dimming, great colors, and good beam spread.  The biggest downfall is it doesn’t have a great white.  My Color Force 12’s look very similar with an awesome white but at 4 times the cost.  I find beam width is hard to find LED fixtures and the more you pay the better the color mixed white.
