Taking 36 Dartz on the road (Patreon)

Well, I was really hoping to put 16 xtylos on the road for my next tour, but since it hasn’t been approved to be used in the USA yet, I had to make the decision to swap out to a different fixture type for our beam fixture on the tour.

There were a few things Robby (half of Louis The Child) wanted to see in our main fixture: Gobos, prism, and full color mixing.

Those features meant that spikies were out of the question since they lack a gobo wheel and instead have the flower effect, but I was struggling to find something with those features.

I am still afraid that these will not be bright enough, but to make up for that I more than doubled the count up to 36. However, the infinite pan tilt is a bonus that makes up for that a bit, and infinite pan makes me more comfortable yoking them out 90 degrees.

Demo day went well, except for the fact that I had to write the fixture profile for a chamsys in order to play with it :)
