There is an option for a drop-in LED engine that will fit either PAR 64 or PAR 56 fixtures.
It is a product from Luxipel called Primo. It is an RGBW and Lime light source. Here is the blow your socks off part…it holds up in intensity to a PAR 64 NSP in open white. In color, it is brighter. Oh, and they are made in Oregon.
I bought 13 of them to try out. 12 to make up one backlight wash plus 1 spare. Last week was there inaugural week of shows, and both my assistant and I were extremely pleased with how they performed. We went from 5 color washes totaling 60kW of NSP to 18kW plus 12x90W of LED and have more horsepower and all the color options we could want.
We have a lot of pre-rig truss at Cerritos. I was looking for an option to let us keep the look of the pre-rig and not be trashing 30 lamp bars.
The light source is back in the can, so the audience doesn’t see the individual emitters. With a cut of diffusion media in the color frame, it has the appearance from the audience of just being a PAR. The proximity of emitters to the front of most LED washes is not my favorite look.
Given that my concert down wash is something approaching 130 PAR 56 cans, I really want these to work out in the long run.
