Check out the Boulder Zoom Beam/Wash amzn.to/39sS1t5
Here is a church stage design idea for you. These moving lights from Boulder are the best budget friendly cheap light that I have tried. They seem to be very similar to the Shehds moving heads but these have temp controlled fans from what I've heard.

I have demoed the Chauvet R2X Washes at sweetwater and it’s very clear why they are so expensive. They are very quiet, the zoom is silent and almost instant, the output is very high, it has extraordinary durability and quality, and the speed is incredible. These things are so fast. The point is, there’s alot of reasons these cost so much compared to the Boulder lights

Hey Ryland! I really love your channel. It's been incredibly inspiring and helpful. I've wanted to begin using haze in our church for a while now, but I haven't figured out how to best control the haze so that we aren't saturating the sanctuary, making the haze too thick, or hiding the hazer so that the output is discreet. Do you have a video or info on how to best implement a hazer so it's as discreet as possible but effective? Thanks in advance!

@RylandRussell 2 года назад

Hey Travis! It’s on the list 😀. My experience is finer haze output+multiple fans+time=better haze.

@@RylandRussell Thank you! Just trying to figure out how to do this well and not distracting lol. Looking forward to the video!

@JoshuaChilton 2 года назад

Travis, I’ve had a lot of luck over the years introducing new creative elements, haze being one of them, for special events, worship nights, Easter, etc. Then over time it becomes more normal and then just start using it regularly after one of those events. We introduced haze this way to a 130 year old church that was a little more traditional but the congregation was very receptive to it when done well. Always do it with the right heart. When communicating I often return to the idea of a beautiful sunset. The rays of light are amazing colors are only because of God’s use of haze. We’re doing the same thing by painting the air with color as a way to show his glory.

My biggest concern with the “imported” knockoff lights is safety. Are there any listing marks, such as UL or ETL, that certify it’s been tested and certified as a safe electronic device (this can be an insurance issue if not)? Also I’ve had knockoff lights come with flying hardware, but nowhere to attach the safety, making it impossible to fly safely. Are there safety locations? Thanks for the review, great info in there!

@johnmcvicker6728 Год назад

During this video, I can hear something - fans of some sort. Is that from the light cooling fans? Or your A.C.? I visited one church recently and even from the rear zone of the congregation, we could hear their lighting cooling fans on the floor of the stage which sounded like someone running a vacuum cleaner in the next-room the whole message part of the service. Of course, band overshadows such low-noise.

@RylandRussell Год назад

All moving lights have fans to my knowledge, the new versions of these have temp controlled fans so when the lights aren’t outputting the fans shut off. So for these rgbw version I’d see no problem with it as after about 30 seconds they shut off.

Greetings. Regarding "cheap" products from China, you should understand one simple thing - you pay a part of the money from the full cost of the original product. China does not charge you money for environmental care, does not charge union tax and workers insurance, etc. As a person connected with religion and faith, it should be clear to you that China, at the state level, actually neglects all world standards: caring for nature, caring for people. Nature and people in China are just "quantity". China is developing "Red Socialism" - this is the evil against which the entire conscious world is now defending itself.
