Quasar Science Rainbow 2 Review: Pushing LED technology forward!

The new Quasar Science Rainbow 2's pack a lot of engineering underneath the hood that really push LED technology forward. They produce excellent color fidelity with some of the best dimming capabilities I've ever used in a light, a much needed improvement over the original Quasar Science Rainbows. The Rainbow RGBx (RGBWW) technology produces excellent TM-30-15 measurements with a very consistent ∆uv tolerance and the multiple pixels give you more seamless color transitions for more immersive lighting effects.
This review gets a little technical at times, so feel free to leave any questions in the comments for further clarification.

Another great video. I think I know what I'm talking about and then I listen to you!

[@mediakache]

Incredible.

[@joshbowlin9040]

Another great video, thanks for showcasing these incredible details. What is the soundtrack artist you used for this video? It’s really nice.

[@robchado]

Retour - Tony Anderson
Escape - Virgil Arles

[@AndrewTimosca]

Cool!

[@SharkmenMovie]

Another great video and very helpful, thanks Rob. How would you choose between a set of these and the Titans /Helios? What would you recommend?

[@robchado]

It really depends, I own a set of Titans and really love the somewhat "easy" wireless connectivity to my iPad and the internal battery makes it easy to use as a practical. For the Quasars, I really enjoy the fine tuning with the color engine and level of control. The 2" lengths are also super handy to rig in tight spaces. The new mounting system also makes it way easier to get the light where you need it to go.

Dope content as always!
What do you think of the new Nanlite Tubes?

[@robchado]

I'd love to test their color, the internal battery is super nice! It looks like they have 10 pixel groups as well.

[@TLD]

Did you shoot this with a RED?

[@robchado]

This is a RED only channel #battletested #imsold

[@subzerowill]

Hi Robert, I've just ordered a pair of two foot double rainbows; the whole world of W-DMX, Artnet & Lumenradio gets really confusing. What's do you think is the simplest way to control these via a phone/ipad for someone who's only working with a couple of fixtures?

[@newwavevisuals]

What plug does it take to power ? I lost the power plug

[@TangodownNZ]

Will these run in New Zealand on 240 volts ac

[@morningstarproductions8054]
