"We bought four Victors," says Carlos Sandoval, vice president of operations at Acey Decy. "Victor's light output is very even from the centre of the spot towards the edges; you get a much more even light across the fill with the optics. And the fact that they have a douser at hand level, where you operate the light for panning and tilting, is definitely perfect for us. The variable focus range is excellent, and its size factor is also a plus."
Acey Decy acquired a pair of Flo followspots to replace 2K Xenon fixtures. "We chose them for the same reasons as the Victors," Sandoval reports. "Rigging this light on a scaffold is much easier as the light and power supplies are much lighter and smaller. They do a very good pattern projection, too. We'll be using the Flos for television shows and events. The fixtures have a slot for dropping in color correction filters, which is great for television - we especially like that feature."
