Thank you for the nice review.

Please Show it together with the ERA 150 Wash.

So are these the replacements for the old trusty Mac 101's? Always loved the brightness and speed of those.

[@LearnstageLightingGear]

Yes

[@VegasDominic]

Would this be brighter than the regular Mac Aura XBs? 19x15watts? 😊

[@BartKrap]

Mac Aura XB:
Light Engine Luminous Output: 10,000 lumens
Fixture Luminous Output Wide: 6,000 lumens
Fixture Luminous Output Narrow: 4,300 lumens
Peak Luminous Intensity Narrow: 220,000 cd
Mac One
Light Engine Luminous Output: 5,700 lumens
Fixture Luminous Output Wide: 2,500 lumens
Fixture Luminous Output Narrow: 1,900 lumens
Peak Luminous Intensity Narrow: 375,000 cd
So no, in most cases it will not be brighter than an Aura XB

[@LearnstageLightingGear]

Yes, and thanks for Googling that, @BartKrap :) The key for any beam effect though, at narrow, is the FC/LUX or in this case, candela (cd) measured at the center. This is the center point brightness, so it shows how at it's narrowist, the Mac One will look brighter through the air than the Aura XB at it's narrowest because the light is more concentrated.
If you need a quote of either fixture, just let us know at [e-mail] !

[@andrewfairrow7186]

Just remember, Double the lumens doesn’t mean double the output. It’s actually about 1.41 times brighter.
So to the untrained naked eye, it would look about the same. Now if you deal with lights all your life you can definitely make out the tiny difference.
But something like the Martin PXL would easier to see as brighter than the xb

[@thomasgriffin3474]

It’s fast on zoom cause of it’s lack of zoom range

[@LearnstageLightingGear]

No, that's not it. It's an entirely different type of mechanics, and the zoom optics weigh very little.
