Hi Ross;
Saw your post and I am glad you found what you needed ON OUR SITE. We make several different styles and models to fit your application and price point. 

Sometimes the only way to tell what is going to be the best choice for your system is to put fixtures side by side and see them. If you do this I suggest looking at both the quality of light and also the consistency of color across fixtures. Take 2 fixtures from each brand you are looking to test out and set them to the same color from a console. Are they the same color? This is a big issue across LED fixtures. 

Also if you re-mount shows put them side by side with a gelled S4 incandescent and see what you need to do to match the gel.  Depending on your console  and the fixtures this can give you an indicator as to how much rework you may have to do. 

It is also super important to look at is your overall building infrastructure. Most LED's require a switched as opposed to dimmed source of power and DMX. Can your current dimming system support switched power? Do you have the DMX infrastructure in place?

Lots of questions for sure and we can help with this. If you would like, I am happy to help get you in touch with a local ETC dealer or one of our field project coordinators. We can walk you through the full LED line we offer, talk about the potential for new energy grant writing, and coordinate a shootout between fixtures.

If you email me  dfox at etcconnect.com with more information about where you are located I would be happy to make an introduction.
