Selection basics

What should a project team define before asking for a price?

A quotation becomes more comparable when the project team supplies an application brief rather than only a wattage or photo.

State the project team type, countries, application, indoor or exposed use, stage size, throw, trim height, required looks, camera use, control system, power, rigging, transport method, quantity and schedule. Identify must-have functions and preferences separately. A distributor, rental company and installation contractor may need different documents and service packages for the same fixture.

Describe whether the primary job is broad wash coverage, narrow aerial definition, pixel effects or a combination. Specify the colors and zoom positions used most often, not only the most dramatic demo. If the product will join an existing fleet, include the profiles, accessories, cases and operational behavior it must match.

Technical comparison

How should project teams read wattage, LED count, zoom and color specifications?

LED count and rated LED power describe the engine arrangement; fixture input power describes another part of the system. Neither value alone proves output, efficiency, color quality or thermal behavior. Compare measured illuminance or intensity at stated distance, beam angle, field distribution, color and test condition. Ask whether photometric data belongs to the exact model and production configuration.

Zoom range indicates available angles, but the project team should inspect the result at both ends and useful positions between them. A wide field can support coverage; a narrow position can increase apparent reach. Check uniformity, edge behavior, mixed-color artifacts and focus consistency across multiple units. For effect fixtures, confirm whether focus, zoom, lens rotation or macros are separate functions.

The LED wattage and configuration guide explains how to compare engines, while the RGBL versus RGBW guide covers color-system trade-offs without declaring one universally superior.

03

Product families

When should a project team choose a wash fixture or a Bee Eye FX fixture?

The correct family depends on the deliverable look and programming resources, not the number of visible lenses.

A conventional wash moving head is usually selected for coverage, color, zoom and movement. A Bee Eye or pixel-effect fixture can add individual cells, foreground patterns, lens effects or macro-heavy looks while still providing wash output. Those capabilities can increase channel count, profile complexity and programming time. Decide whether the additional looks will earn regular use.

Explore the Bee Eye Moving Head category and read the Bee Eye and pixel-effects guide when effect-layer architecture is central to the brief.

05

Deployment

How should project teams assess outdoor use, rigging, power and packing?

Confirm voltage, frequency, input power, current and power-through limits for the production revision. Plan circuits from the actual electrical system and connector ratings, not a simple division of nominal watts. Define supplied and optional cables, plugs, clamps, safeties, cases, foam and labels in the purchase order and inspection checklist.

Commercial terms

How are MOQ, sample cost, lead time, OEM scope and payment confirmed?

Commercial values depend on the exact model, materials, customization, quantity and current production plan, so generic website numbers are rarely sufficient.

Ask for a written quotation that identifies model, configuration, quantity, unit price, sample terms, tooling or customization charges, accessories, packing, Incoterm, payment, validity and estimated schedule. Lead time should show the assumptions: document availability, sample approval, material readiness, branding and inspection. Reconfirm it after changes.

After sales

What should warranty, spare-parts and technical support include?

A support promise is useful only when the project team knows how to identify, document and resolve a fault.

Follow the stage-lighting maintenance checklist to create daily, turnaround and periodic records. For rental-specific operational planning, use the rental fleet selection checklist.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical and purchasing questions

What information does AOLAIT need to recommend an LED wash moving head?
Provide application, venue, throw, required looks, indoor or exposed use, camera/noise needs, control system, voltage, rigging, quantity, schedule, destination, branding, documents, packing, warranty and spare-parts expectations.
Can two fixtures with the same LED wattage have different output?
Yes. LED binning, drive, optics, zoom, thermal design, color and measurement conditions affect usable output. Compare model-specific photometrics and samples at the same distance, angle, color and settings.
What is the difference between wash and Bee Eye moving heads?
Wash fixtures prioritize broad color coverage, zoom and movement. Bee Eye fixtures may add individual cells, halos, lens effects or macros. They can require more channels and programming, so choose them when the extra looks support the real show inventory.
What should an approved sample include?
Record model, serial, hardware, firmware, personality, profile, optics, appearance, labels, accessories, manual, DMX chart, drawing, test results and packing. Photograph the sample and list deviations and approvals.
How are MOQ and production lead time determined?
They depend on model, quantity, material availability, customization, sample/document approval, packing and current planning. Use the project quotation and reconfirm timing after any change; do not rely on a generic number.
