Hey all, Looking for a decent LED pin spot, I've tried a couple from Amazon and none where that good. However at the last wedding they bought some along that were stupidly bright but sadly were unbranded and I've not been able to find them anywhere. So yeah links please for any decent ones that you've used/seen before :)

...i know the horse has bolted but... should have took a few pictures. One of us could have used one before and snapped back with a quick reply for you. Sorry I'm not much help either. I got given one of those ADJ 3W LED pinspots.. that's a bit crap too. But in saying that I have some flat pars that have 3w leds in them and when I use that (as a single led with the others taped over) it's much brighter and much better at lighting a mirror ball  ------------- If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down. |

Could have been a makeshift 10w domestic flood light that has been adapted(?) ------------- If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down. |

Its a flood not a pinspot though isn't it? I was looking recently and came to the conclusion that everything in my price bracket was rubbish. Did look at building my own. Which was viable just need the right housing. |

..dont worry, it's that time of nite! The picture was more to show the type of unit that MAY be rigged to build a pinspot with a fairly decent output and with a bunch of colours to pick from. You might even be able to stuff it in a Birdy of a par36 and get the spot you're after... ------------- If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down. |

| Nah none of those are bright enough and the beam is too wide. This thing was a straight beam. |

How wide does the beam have to be?? I have some excellent LED PAR64 units which I use for a semi-permanent karaoke install; I shine them onto the ceiling over the performers rather than dazzle them. They're situated about 4 feet from the floor and shine onto a (dark) 14ft ceiling and the spread there is about a foot across, they also have a nice geometric pattern from the RBGW LEDs (when looking at the the luminaire) which is more attractive cosmetically than many of those that I use that I use for uplighting. ------------- It's a difficult choice, would you rather have: A: A vegan son.
