    Chauvet Circus 2.0 Review> by me>my opinion>
    Turned in the Circus and received the Circus 2.0.
    Housing is about the same size, price hasn't changed MAP is about $199.99-$205.00 US
    The Circus is a moonflower with actively moving dots that zip across up and down in patterns much
    similar to the ADJ Revo 4. But with 5 lenses that randomly turn on with RBGW and Amber leds.
    Very bright fixture and well worth the price, also noting buying two and linking them looks really nice especially
    if you do large venues because the span is huge for even just one. However the range is not as large as the before mentioned REVO 4.

    Improvements:
    1. Can manually adjust the AUTO speed of random programs without the use of DMX.
    2. Mount bracket is larger so you may be able to aim it up on a T bar or truss.
    3. Not my favorite thing but now has white strobe LEDS.
    4. Optional remote control can operate many functions like DMX

    The only feature I miss from the older version is the availability to have the light on a certain color (non-DMX use)
    during slow songs and it not going ballistic. It was a nice mood light effect. The IRC remote control, though I
    haven't used it yet seems weird because its a line of sight remote which like a tv remote, to me seems unreliable.
    I can be wrong though, but I do know is that if I had one, I'd probably lose it.
    In closing Chauvet, makes great lighting effects and is constantly beating down on industry leader, ADJ. Its good
    to see the two giants battling it out bringing new items for the mobile market. And Chauvet upped the ante by adding the remote
    on the Circus series light.





    UPDATE: I went out and bought the remote control, the Chauvet IRC. It works fine, no where near like DMX but at least there is a choice of sound active, auto and strobe.

    what I like about the IRC remote:
    1) very small and easy to tote along
    2) does work from 50 or more feet away

    what I dont like:
    1) easy to lose
    2) weird replacement battery
    3) doesn't do much
