SL PAR DEMO BUTTONA word about color…

LED Theatrical Lighting fixtures use a variety of color mixing systems to match the colors used in “conventional” stage lighting.  Some use four colors of LED, some use seven.  Some use RGBA, some use RGBW, and some use a combination of primary and secondary colors…there is even one with a “twist of lime”.  All of these systems have different strengths and weaknesses, and all of them are the subject of much debate (mostly between salesmen and anyone they can get to listen).

Our recommendation?  Don’t give in to the hype.
We think that you are smart enough to make your own choice.
See for yourself, use your eyes, and decide what works best for your application in your space lighting actual people.

(we’ll even show you the twist of lime!)
