Frequently asked questions
What does B-stock mean and will it affect performance?
B-stock typically indicates open-box, display, or refurbished inventory. The optical performance, LED engine, control systems, and all technical specifications are identical to new units. Only cosmetic condition or warranty coverage may differ.
Are these fixtures suitable for live touring and camera-critical work?
Yes, both units feature silent flicker-free operation, absolute position monitoring for repeatable pan/tilt movement, and 11,600 lumens of crystalline output at 6000 K—all designed specifically for theatrical touring and camera-critical environments.
What color adjustment range do these fixtures offer?
Both units provide variable CTO adjustment from 6000 K to 2700 K, a color wheel with 6 interchangeable dichroic filters, and CRI > 80 with TM-30 fidelity for saturated, spectrally accurate color mixing.
Which unit should a professional rental house choose?
The B-stock unit offers the same performance for cost savings, making it ideal for rental operations where cosmetic condition is less critical than functionality and ROI. The new unit is preferable if warranty transfer and resale value are priorities.
