I think, once you factor in dimming, socapex, trussing, feeder, and the cost of the fixtures, LEDs are going to win these days.


I figured someone would bring this up, and it's true, but only if you're looking at buying starting from 0.  Most established companies have dimmers, soco, etc, so investing in LED's is basically starting over.

true, except dimmers are easy to convert into straight power (hot patch them @ 100%...most dimmers can do this quite easily)

you still can use soca for LEDs, and not nearly as much of it

the trucking costs on LEDs are way cheaper, as are the upkeep costs

the main reason is the beam angle...there's very few LED pars out there that will shoot out a 5-8 degree beam with the same brightness as a 1K VNSP

personally I'm a huge advocate of 'green' lighting rigs, which is why I only sell LED products, and try to bring out power efficient rigs whenever possible
