This month in the PLSN Buyer’s Guide, we look at multi-cell LED wash moving lights. LED light sources have come a long way since the days of manufacturers packing 90 or 120 LEDs in a PAR can for a wash light. Many of these moving head wash units come with advanced features that allow users to pixel map or create other eye-catching effects that read well on camera or look great as a highlight to a lighting design. Here are 12 units submitted from a range of manufacturers so that you can do some side-by-side comparisons to see the specs for products you might be short-listing for a real-world demo.
