<div dir="ltr">Dear Jerry, <div>Does that mean that the latest 60" Pyrotechnic Shells also underperform? What is your experience with the newer 60" Chinese shells? There doesn't seem to be a rating in Consumer Reports Magazine for these to guide us.</div><div>/s/ Richard</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 9, 2019 at 1:07 PM Jerry Durand via Stagecraft <<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<font face="Arial">I understand everything is over rated and under
performs, just trying to get an idea of what lighting fixtures are
appropriate for each room type.<br>
<br>
On the power we all need to remember how the Chinese measure power
for motors and such. It's the max power drawn from the mains
before smoke so the exercise machine I have is rated at 1.5 hp,
but in USA measurement it's more like 1/4. Same with lights and
other things.</font><br>

<div dir="ltr">I can say that all the
low-priced DMX controlled LED disco-type lights on E-bay or
Amazon have gross exaggeration for their wattage. Actual

<div dir="ltr">I don't know how close the
"Equivalent wattage" for a LED is in comparison to an actual
tungsten lamp now-a-days. I know early in the history of
household LED bulbs, sometimes the lumens of the tungsten
lamps were under estimated so the LED equivalent wattage could
be exaggerated. And off course, the longevity was idealized,
and ignored the very real problem of heat build-up in many
fixtures. Many of the LED bulbs and the earlier generation of
"green" fluorescent bulbs died quick deaths. The "green" part
was the money the manufacturers were raking in for the scams.
I think things are somewhat better in terms of bulbs, but the
green-energy moment still seems to be focused on the color of
the money.<br>
