What is the difference between standard and B-Stock?
B-Stock typically refers to returned, open-box, or display units. Both have identical 760W LED engines, 28,000 lumens output, 5800K white point, and all connectivity options. The B-Stock may have minor cosmetic wear but full optical and electrical functionality. Warranty terms may differ.

Is this fixture suitable for my skill level?
Both units are rated for professional-level operators and designed for touring, festivals, and permanent installations. They require DMX control integration and rigging expertise; not recommended for home studio or small-venue casual use.
What warranty should I expect?
The standard unit comes with manufacturer warranty. B-Stock units may have limited or no warranty depending on the retailer's policy. Verify warranty terms before purchase if this is a deciding factor.
