Battle of the BUDGET Moving Heads - SHEHDS vs Boulder 19x15w Zoom Wash 

We just installed two Boulder Pros in our old sanctuary and they fit our needs perfectly! Thanks for the reco!

Thanks for the video. The Boulder does seem more responsive, and better at nuanced fades. When I tested the SHEHDS in a large room, I was disappointed to find that the actual "spot" setting is nowhere near the stated 8 degrees. Maybe it's my test unit, but actual was much closer to 20-22 degrees. Your video shows the Boulder as similar, so that part of the video saved me a buncha time. Thanks again!!

We have a couple of SHEHDS. I use them to put some color on the back wall of the stage and as spot light for baptisms. I've had no problems with them.

Thanks. In our small sanctuary, the temperature fan control might be important. Or upgrade to a more quiet fan. We just put in some of the remote outlets and it has been great. Equipment is usually getting turned off during the week.

We currently have 10 of the Shehds 19x15 and we ended up snagging 2 275W 10Rs as well. The 19x15s have been nothing short of perfect for our smaller auditorium. We have 6 for key lights (using the white mix + a light touch of darker orange with the saturation pulled back for a 5000k-5200k look) and 4 as wash lights. They're fantastic for the price and, if one of them breaks, they're cheap to replace.

I've used some Sheds movers before. The fan noise was so loud you wouldn't use them in a church. How are these.

Hey! Would you happen to know how many of the Boulders I can power chain together safely?

Ryland, are you using these for lighting your vocalist/speakers? Our lighting looks too blue on our live stream. I feel like we need a more amber looking light but can't find anything

Does anyone know where to get a fixture profile for these lights? Ryland, if you read these comments, I'd be interested in a booking a consult, but would like to email first to be sure a consult with you would be right for the issues we're having.

What lighting console do you use?

why on earth is this dude in some kind of rave church?

you can change the speed in the advance menu from the shehds light

Sheds has UV... Kinda a big deal for some:))

Thanks for the video, I always thought sheds was a company that was not to be trusted.

does anyone have a fixture file for Road Hog 3 standard blue console

The Shehds are great for the money. No complaints. I ended up going with the VShow “aura” fixtures. I used them for a season. They were great. It uses the same Martin Mac Aura profile which every console has. The aura also has a scenic feature that just glows the lenses up to use as a set piece.

Hey, new to these lights, but amazing price point! I'm just wondering...where are people getting the fixture files for these lights, for use with say, a Hog 4?

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I have had 4 of the Sheds RBGW and 2 of the Boulder variable white for two years. Currently they are used in a mobile church and get setup and torn down every week. Still performing flawlessly on all fronts. Thank you for accurately listing out the challenges and downsides! No, these are not the 'quality' of a Chauvet R2 Wash. Quality control is significantly lower, they use slightly cheaper LEDs, the main board is designed for faster, easier production, so the LEDs are aligned differently, causing slight color differences when mixing colors. There is a reason they are cheaper. With that understanding, these lights are phenomenal for creating a worship atmosphere. Think of them as the modern equivalent of stained glass windows. Keep up the great work!

Hey, Ryland - Quick question. The Amazon link to the Boulder light says it's a 240w fixture. Is this correct? Is there a 120w version?

If I was setting up a nightclub or private party wedding room I would def start with Shehds over Chauvet. I have owned Chauvet for a decade and I can say it would be a lot more cost effective running the Shehds. Everytime an Eliminator fixture has to be sent off to get fixed the cost is well over $400 on a 80 watt fixture. My use is for a private party banquet room and not a church or theater so motor noise is not an issue. My prior lighting experience was in the 90s with a mix of Martin and Lightwave Research Highend Systems fixtures. I don't miss the Martins but man I sure do miss the Emulators from High End.... Thanks for the lighting review and the experience you bring to the game of lighting!

I just bought 2 of the Boulder fixtures. I’m such a novice. Could anyone tell me how to program these into an ETC Colorsource?

Which one is louder when the fan is on ?

How hard is it to program?

Martin Mac Aura (Denmark) retails I think for $5000 each unit. 😂

Thanks for the info. Can you confirm if the flickering in both sides of the video is cause for this lights?

In your main shot I see flicker on the walls it looks like it coming from the 2 purple ones on the stage. How do they perform with different frames rates when it comes to flicker. Thats a big deal with cheap LED lights.

Is itpossible to S.Korea?

Thanks for the review! This helps so much!

Which would you get right now?

can we measure the CRI of the variable white boulder?

This is a great help Ryland. Thanks.

Been using the Boulder 19x15w Variable Whites from your recommendation and they've been fantastic. No issues yet. Thanks for your work, Ryland

Been waiting for this video!

Do you turn the power off at the switch when done with show? Or, keep them on black-out fan running for a few minutes to cool the light inside? Or what do you do?

Hi Ryland, thank you so much for these videos. Can I ask what device are you using to remotely shut your lights off, or on?

Thank you Ryland for this video! We are wanting to replace our old par fixtures with LED dmx controllable, but have zero need for movers. What would you recommend similar to the powerful white key lights but stationary?

Thanks for the video. I have seen your video earlier about the boulders and wanted to buy those. But I live in Sweden so the shipping cost and tax makes them expensive. But the shehds ship in Europe so they are very cheep here too so I bought two for testing in our church. What would you say regarding tilt and pan. When marking a circle I noticed the shehds shake at the edges. Is the boulders doing the same?

Love the Vid! Do you think the white wash version of these would work as the only front light for a smaller platform for a mobile church? (Coming from the side of platform)

Thanks for this video. Very helpful as I am currently working on replacement of our old par cans. Would you think 4-6 of these would be too loud together in an install?

I would love to get one of these which one tho would you recommend is better for i small church auditorium

Do you happen to have the DMX chart or profile for the Boulder moving head? Great video! I think I am going to get some.

Both junk

Bro! I’ve been WAITING for this video!!!!

Glad you made this video and shared that amazing Black Friday discount !!! 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
