We have been asked to provide this effect for a small church building at Easter. The cross is built and illuminated but they want some beams of light shining down. Have told them we need to hire a hazer but they don't have enough power available for us to hang a bunch of Source 4s off the ceiling. So any suggestions for  some solutions that don't need loads of amps from the mains would be very welcome

You could try pin spots.

Or possibly LED pin-spots Wink NOT LED par cans, as they will not be beam like and spread out. If they want them to move then you will be looking at Sharpy Beam type movers. If static then as mentioned pin spots / LED pin-spots, or ACL type par cans with narrow beams, you might be able to find narrow beam Par 20 cans (smaller than 64/56, bigger than pin-spot physically in can size).

You can get LED beam movers which might do the job. Mine use about 0.5A each and look like this

Do they have to move?

If not:

Really quite bright, and not expensive either. Very light too.

Hire in some L.E.D movers... Be sure they are the 60w version to get anything as bright as your typical discharge mover.

Quote Be sure they are the 60w version


Watts is a poor way to judge LED head brightness TBH.

My Indigo 4600's (30W) are 20% brighter than the 4500 before them (60W)

Optical quality is just as important, particularly the primary focus.

t0m and I have 14 of those LED movers between us if you wanted a hire for Easter

I used to have some pin spots on steroid (about 3 times the size), no idea where they came from but I think had 24V lamps and would have worked quite well.

If you just need static beams, then a few bars of ACL's would work.  Only downside being they're usually pre-rigged in 4's which limits how you distribute them.
