Monoprice COB LED Ellipsoidal - White | 3200k, 26 Degree, 200W, Interchangeable Lens, Manual Focus

These are great! Cost, WOW! Brightness, WOW!. Ease of use and function, WOW!. Seriously, we have been searching, for a couple years, for the best Leko for the lowest price and this is it. After a small test order we quickly found that these are, hands down, a better tool for our rental stock for these reasons: 1. these run on 200watts of power. i.e. 8 units + on a single circuit! 2. these are brighter than our 750watt lekos. 3. these don't have an exterior heat sink. The chassis is cool to touch when on and can be focused without burning your hands. YEAH! Finally. Yes, the lens is a lenticular "plastic" lens. this helps keep the weight down. Yes, this unit is BRIGHTER than our 750watt HPL/EHG lamps NO, you wont burn your hands trying to focus it. The LED engine and power supply are housed inside the a metal chassis that is fan cooled and doesn't get too hot to touch. The control is easy via the on board buttons for manual use or DMX addressing. Simple stand alone use! Conclusion. We converted our rental stock to these. Love 'em. We have sold dozens to a local high school and large church. Very, very satisfied. We will be buying more! Statewide Productions, Ceres, CA

This light is great as a starter light if you cant afford the bigger name brands. Ive purchased 6 of these and ive had them for over 2 years so heres a few things to note; The optics really suck. I'm not a lighting snob, but this is pretty bad, theres no way to get a crisp sharp edge on this light. even at its sharpest its still blurry. what this means is that your gobos will look horrible on the edges. even with a doughnut in place it doesn't help. I initially thought this was due to the fact that the lens that comes with the unit is all plastic event the actual lens element isn't actually glass but plastic. So i swapped it out for an ETC lens and it still was really blurry. so its only good for a stage wash. no gobos or crisp circles. Also the lens doesn't accept standard gel frames. the frame holder slot is extremely large and I've yet to find something that fits. second is the light output. I havent metered the draw yet but something tells me its not quite 200 watts as the light output leaves something to be desired, so youll need to purchase more units to get the coverage and intensity needed. As far as durability. 50 percent of this light is plastic so I wouldn't take this light on tour. installs only. The U bracket knobs constantly break because they're made from a cheap plastic. the lens tube feels like a fall from the right distance would crack the housing. The rotating tube also plastic feels like its one turn from falling off. and lastly one of the 6 lights I have has died after two years. It turns off shortly after powering on. I've contacted Monoprice and since I'm out of warranty they cant help me. They don't sell parts and wont send me a replacement. In closing this light is great for churches or venues on a budget that instal the light in a permanent position. Its served us for basic stage washes where crisp optics and fancy lighting weren't needed. otherwise look elsewhere. In the photos attached I've compared it to a chauvet ovation ellipsoidal
