Probably 50% of the work I do that requires lighting involves stage temperatures <60 deg F... and can easily drop to <50 or even <40 deg F by the end of the performance. Without the heat that my conventional par cans produce, I'd likely need to otherwise heat the performance area with "something"... and chances are that "something" would cost more and be less desirable. Besides, the resale value of used conventional par cans (and dimming) is pretty much zilch. Might as well hang onto what you have if you need stage heaters that as a bonus produce light (and do it silently without needing to pack jerry cans of kerosene to the gig). [/QUOTE]
