Re: 1w individual RGB vs 3w Tri-Color... are they the "same"
I'm guessing you and I are after the same thing.
Check my review on the Blizzard Q12A fixture. It's interesting to note that the "10W" LEDs don't have the same brightness per channel, and in that case, aren't even driven anywhere near 10 watts per diode group. This "120 watt" fixture's max input draw is about 60W. This fixture is about 50% brighter than their Puck 3 which uses "3W" diodes, and has an input consumption of 35 watts.
As Rob says, at least in the Blizzard case there still is some fringing even with the one lens for all colors design.
I have had a Chauvet SlimPar Pro RGBA on order for about 7 weeks, and now that the gig I wanted it for is over, Murphy says it will arrive today. I will gladly give up the benefits of a tri or quad design for a fixture that is video safe, is fanless, and is built better than the Blizzard. I'll report when I get it.
