   Yeah, it was the Mini Hot Beam 3 in 1 I was looking at - 150W '3R' lamp.
She said they came out about 10% dimmer than a 2R Sharpy-alike which is ample for the sort of stages I do.
Not quite as even brightness across the spot as I'd like (certainly based on the video anyway) but for the money... whatever.

I've asked them to shoot some beam video from their booth at the recent Chinese fair as they had some in the rig.  Will be interesting to see what that comes out like.

	Check out the Adj focus spot Three z, and focus spot 2.. Good value 2 year warranty.. Adj have recently divided the range into two categories, The select range being the second aimed at events companies or larger dj/band shows.. Like the "Elation" lights the select range are now all quality controlled in Europe..

	the xmlite stuff looks cool , It seems the oem for lots of other manufacturers also.. I checked them out at Frankfurt,last year. They had a very small stand showing some really nice lights. Those mini hybrid look the business.. Ideal for smaller venues

	Chauvet Rogue RH1 Hybrid? Not played with them myself but worth a look. Looked at the Maverick / Axiom / Mythos hybrids, but am holding out for a super pointe....

	Has anyone done a half decent Pointe copy? I'm looking at some XMLite units currently (small ones) which seem phenomenal value for occasional use. Like cheaper than Sharpy copy prices...

	The Chauvet R2 wash is a cracking little fixture, currently got 20 in the bonobo rig, zone control, fantastic colour mixing, just need to run them in dimmer type - s curve and colour speed - fast. We are also carrying 18 chauvet R1 FXB, which is a 'magic blade' type fixture, but with individual tilt on each of the 5 cells. You coming tonight Kyle?

	Totally agree with James here, we bought a bunch of Rogue and they're really damn good even ignoring the low price tag. We also install Prolights and that kit is also very nice. Their Polar strobe range are very nice, as are their smaller movers. Call AC for pricing on both of those. The ones you're looking at do the job but the colours are really garish, gobos have some very cheesy icons and they aren't that fast. You can do a lot better if you stretch a little more cash.

	The chauvet rogue range are worth a look, as are the Italian designed Chinese made Prolights range, distributed by AC lighting. Solidly built, good parts access, cheaper than your martin / robe options, I would call them mid range

	I was already looking at warranties as part of the comparison. if we could we would be going for Robe, or Martin heads but there a fair bit out of the current budget. There doesn't seem to be many in the mid price range. The isolutions seem to be one with a higher spec for the price before moving up to the equinox but then they are not necessarily as fully featured your just paying for the up-rated led light source from what I can tell.

	Also, if you buy expensive, make sure it has the 3 year warranty. That sh*t breaks too and is usually more costly to fix!
