reading the ads for the latest LED products, several questions spring to mind,
why is the price so hard to find?
how is it cooled and what is its noise level?
what is the noise level at 1,000, 2,000, 3000 hrs etc.?
how often do the filters need cleaning?
we hear that the LEDS have 30,000 hr life, what is the fan life?
what is the CRI, I know it is a flawed measurement but it is a basis?
if I buy 6 of these cyc lights and in 2 yrs time I buy 2 more, how will the new ones colour and intensity match the older ones?
[this question applies to all units but cyc lights in particular]
is there an industry standard so that the same settings give the same colour between manufacturers?
are there any questions I missed and should I be out there buying LED theatre lights, will I live long enough to make a saving?
[Assuming I follow H & S guidelines]

It has been a bit quiet around here....

Here's a link to more information about fatigue:

And yes, it is based on miners but they are people too. The other day someone tried to tell me that loaders were people, what is next!
