I would be very interested, the 4 in this video is still the only Luxed light in all of Victoria Australia.

@@gaffergear i can report that it is big, heavy, and bright. i ran it on a cherrypicker for half the night and it was awesome in that role, and as a key through a 12x12 full grid, a few points: it is so heavy and big that getting it onto a heavy duty wind up is nontrivial, be prepared to have 3 people with ladders do it or to lay the stand on the ground and then erecting the whole thing with at least 3 people (much safer). really, its almost as bad as the s360. so it might be as bright as a 4k hmi, but i can set up a 4k by myself. Other than dmx, there is no remotecontrol, so dmx is manditory (used a small wired controllbox, im not wireless yet). we had two generators, both 3.5 kva, one of them was a very rudimentary model probably meant to be used on construction sites and the luxed 9 did not like it at all, over 70% it just started flickering like crazy. the same generator ran an m18 and a skypanel without any problems, so it seems this light doesnt like dirty power. the other generator was a standart honda model and that worked fine. All in all, the fine controll you get over color and output in this powerfull a light is great, so once you get it set up youre alot faster. for me, ill use it again for studio stuff, or whenever i can put it on a big rolling stand and leave it there for the whole shoot. im still interested in getting the 4, or even the single

@@xx1simon1xx thanks for that info

@@gaffergear I'm using (job is yet to be confirmed) 3 x Luxed-12 in February. Why so much? Hi speed shoot up to 1000fps. If the shoot goes ahead will let you know results.

I would only push it to 3 on a 20 amp circuit but even then, for this kind of output I have no idea when you would need 3 of these things in the same room of a house, worse case scenario very easy to run a line to another circuit.

@@gaffergear right after I posted I found the vid where you break down how you evaluate a lighting unit. Love the info on your channel. Thanks for giving us usable critical analysis instead of the usual fluff.

This is less than 50% brighter than a Forza 500 with dish on. But this is bi-color

I couldn't find any stats, but it felt like around 70 to 90 degrees to me. Badicly the beam is slightly wider than the distance to the subject. So if it was 3 meters away the beam was slightly wider than 3 meters. That was with the lenses pointing straight.

Most LED have a weak R9 or a weak R12. This is the only one I've found that had both above 90.

This is under 50% brighter than a forza 500 with its dish on

I was thinking the same thing. I have a Forza 500 and I thought of clustering them in to a 6 formation, very tight together so the the reflector dishes would be touching. That would be quite a powerful light 3K Watts. I talked to Nanlite and they are suggesting a rig to their R&D.

Complete colour render, and all tungsten colour match each other, regardless of brands.

If the camera is set to 3200 and the lights are not corrected with blue.. ie you are shooting in a blacked out studio or can filter/block any windows tungsten would get more lumen per $, and the light is great on skin. My mate has a 2k tung and it does good things for only a few $. Really he gets a lot of light for $150 compared to my $4k of LED

@@sammorganmoore yep

Yes

I read up on it and it says IP20, but I am curious if thats because the ballast is mounted on it.

@@johanlindqvist99 apparently you can get a rain jacket

Nice! Nice reviews and info as always!

@@gaffergear Thank you much

Yes, I also think they have RGBWW now

@@gaffergear Cheers mate, I saw those but cant find a price for them, everything seems to "call for quote" is that because supply chain issues and other mularkey?

I haven't used a 1k par 64 in years so hard to give on answer. My par 64 (covered in dust) are all spot or narrow spots so not a great comparison

Yep

I'm about 99% sure the answer is no.
