White LED pars for stage lighting ? recommendation please?

[DJ Matt]

im looking for dimmable white LED pars which have a nice warm white matching the kind of tungsten bulb look.

not looking for bulbs, this is a small recording studio which gets hot real easy, so bulbs would be too much.
and not looking to mix colors to make white here, at most i would be happy with warm white and cool white LEDS.


i have such lights for video recording but these are plastic, not suitable for hanging. i need proper pars or flat pars.


any suggestions guys?

My first suggestion would be the Blizzard InfiniWhite series which have mixable cool-white / warm-white / amber. The Amber channel really allows you to mix in and fine tune a pretty good approximation of halogen, which is often to personal taste.

As a disclaimer I haven't used these particular Blizzard PARs, but am a fan of other Blizzard PARs which I own and strongly recommend. Buddy of mine does use the InfiniWhite's for theater because they explicitly do a good job immitating halogen, sunsets. candlelight, etc.

+1 on the Infiniwhite's. I'm a Blizzard dealer if you don't have access to one.

The Chauvet fixture posted above has 36 - 1w diodes for 36w total output. The InfiniWhite from Blizzard features 18 - 5w diodes for 90w total output.

Apples to oranges.

Bill, don't you think that is complete overkill for a small recording studio with overheating issues? I light 30 foot stages with lights like that and they are overkill for that. The only time I crank them up is for the guy that waxes the floor,he loves the output.

[blasterman]

18watts of warm-white in a DJ par = less output than a 100watt bulb.

All things being relative, I'd rather have the bigger ones and turn them down -vs- 1watt technology and wishing I had more. A 90watt PAR is sufficiently bright enough to bounce it off a ceiling, or umbrella, etc.

[DJ Matt]

are there any lower power /lower price ones worth considering?

personally i would go with the stronger one, but this is just for a tiny studio in my college. the lights would need to be bright enough to be able to record video with a camera in decent quality. but they dont need to be so bright as to drown out the other LED bars which will most likely be american DJ megabars, or generic brand from thomann.de

Adj hex bar or hex pars

Light is like cable . . .

You can coil up what you don't need but you can't stretch what you haven't got.
