Frequently asked questions
What is B-Stock and why is it cheaper?
B-Stock typically refers to returned, refurbished, or open-box units that function identically to new stock but may show cosmetic wear or have limited/no warranty. All specs and performance are the same.
Is the brightness and zoom range the same on both?
Yes. Both units have the 760W LED engine producing 28,000 lumens, 2.4 Mcd peak intensity, and a 1:9 zoom range (5.7° to 54°). No performance difference.
Which is better for a touring company?
The standard new unit offers full warranty protection and predictable uptime—critical for touring schedules. B-Stock works if you have backup fixtures or accept higher service risk.
Do both have IP65 sealing and 50,000-hour LED life?
Yes. Both carry the patent-pending XIP water/dust ingress protection and 50,000+ hour LED lifetime, ensuring durability in demanding live environments.
