[QUOTE="Steve Hurt, post: 35014, member: 311"] Re: 1w individual RGB vs 3w Tri-Color... are they the "same" TJ, I may be interested. shoot me a price when you get a chance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- okay.... I plugged some lights tonight Lights tested (in a non scientific manner Puck 3 (nine 3 watt tricolor RGB LED's) Q6A Puck (six 10 watt quad color LED's - RGBA) Q6W Puck (six 10 watt quad color LED's - RGBW) Daisy 420B RGBAW bar light (60 1 watt LED's -> 12 ea RGBAW Charvet ColorBar Tri - (twelve 3 watt tricolor RGB LED's) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here are the results of the "Puck Off" shootout: White - using a random scale with the brightest light being 10 and off being zero, Puck 3 - 5 brightness of 5 Q6A - brightness of 6.5 Q6W - brightness of 10 (it really is a LOT brighter) On other red green and blue, the Q6A and the Q6W were 15-20% brighter than the puck 3's The Q6W and Q6A were more even and didn't showing the component colors On the Q6A, the amber is nice. It is not very bright. 60% as bright as the other colors in output. The oranges were vivid and warm. Unlike the "almost" colors that most RGB's do in that range None of them do a good yellow. The Q6A is better, but it's not great for that. Be nice if the Amber was higher output So Q's are smoother than the Puck 3 and 15% or so brighter except in their added color. The Q6W does a very bright white. The Q6A is more even across the spectrum in brightness (not extra hot on one color like the W is on white) and does orange and amber shades better. Note to blizzard: Make Quint Pucks (We want RGBAW 5 color LED's) (Or at least put 6 RGBA's and 6 RGBW's in a 12 light - and make those ambers brighter) How this works in to my rig: I've been using the Pucks for uplighting the players faces. The Puck3's are plenty bright for what that. Will probably get more of the Q6A'a and send the Q6W back. ....but I'm still thinking......man.... The white is really white on the the Q6W's ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ next post will be about the bar lights (Daisy and Chauvet) [/QUOTE]
