Members madjack Posted August 1, 2016 Members Posted August 1, 2016 A lot of fixtures I'm seeing now are offering rgb+uv instead of rgba/w. What's the point? Does the uv help at all with color mixing, as do the amber or white? Or is it just because of the fluorescence kick?
Members BillESC Posted August 2, 2016 Members Posted August 2, 2016 It is another color to the palette. Will allow you to create more colors and hues.
Members madjack Posted August 2, 2016 Author Members Posted August 2, 2016 More versatile than amber or white?
Members BillESC Posted August 3, 2016 Members Posted August 3, 2016 No. The current best choice would be 6 in 1 diodes - RGBAW+UV
Members soundlight Posted August 9, 2016 Members Posted August 9, 2016 The UV in any of the current multi-chip LEDs isn't really so much UV as it is deep indigo. It doesn't flouresce things as well as actual UV light. The current hex-chip fixtures (RGBAW+UV) mostly look like ass; all of the ones that I've seen have poor homogenization and lots of color shadowing. I would stay away until the technology gets there. I think that the best option right now is RGBA or RGBAW fixtures. The amber really gives you a lot of additional colors that you can't get in just RGB space.

I have 8 pars with RBGW and I use a friends system with RBGA. The latter has wonderful warm yellows & ambers, but the RBGW just can't produce nice yellows. Granted, these are $50 Chinese lights, but they work well. My friends lights are $80 each and don't have any fans (no noise).
Members Bugzie Posted November 6, 2016 Members Posted November 6, 2016 While they don't have the output of an old fashioned bulb, they do make whites pop....a little. Where they seem to shine (pun intended) is when added to other colors. They seem to add a little "pop." I just picked up some Marq gamut pars and they is a big difference when compared to my old RGBA lights.
