Ynot Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Oddly enough the ebay price is pretty close to oursI oticed that, though the first one I watched went for £155, as I said, in auction.... :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 For those who can read french, there used to be a long discution about such products in a french lighting forum : http://fr.forums.audiofanzine.com/apprendr...4+sur+lyre.html To sum it up : made in china, but quite well done, so it might be a good bang for the buck :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Need Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 you might want to have a look on 10 out of 10s web site http://www.10outof10.co.uk/acatalog/Moving...p;_Effects.html for the same units badged as showtec Indeed - a bloke here from 10outof10 :wacko: All these are probably made in the same factory and badged accordingly.The showtec unit does come with a guard and a 12 month warranty. I am unsure how ebay works but do you actually get any warranty when buying from an auction site? :blink: http://www.10outof10.co.uk/acatalog/31200.jpg Oddly enough the ebay price is pretty close to oursI oticed that, though the first one I watched went for £155, as I said, in auction.... :) £155 and no warranty probably B-) Remember the buy Price is possibly ex-VAT so add 17.5% to the bill.

Though VAT gets claimed back here...Must admit, there doesn't seem to be anything about warranty on the advert on Ebay.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 ...and no sign of a CE mark on the ebay ones...If the ones on ebay actually look like they do in the picture then it would be illegal for them to carry a CE mark. It is illegal for a product placed on the market in the EU to carry a CE mark if it does not comply with the relevant standards. The ones in the picture don't comply with BS EN 60 598-2-17:1989. However, it is also illegal to place goods on the market in the EU if they don't carry a CE mark, the importer in this case is committing a criminal offense. The Showtec units do appear to meet the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikienorth Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Lack of a mesh in front of the lens, with a 25mm square maximum opening, designed to catch parts of said lens should it shatter. (If I remember correctly this standard has been quoted elsewhere in the BR, to do with source 4 units, they have a 'CE' and a non CE version too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Lack of a mesh in front of the lens, with a 25mm square maximum opening, designed to catch parts of said lens should it shatter.That's the one, part 17.6.3 to be precise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbuckley Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 It is illegal for a product placed on the market in the EU to carry a CE mark if it does not comply with the relevant standards.Yes, but it's illegal to "bring goods to market" which are not CE marked, ful stop. So, do you want to be slapped for no CE mark (blindingly obvious to the most moronic of commentators) or a technical infringement, which takes skill to spot...? And of course, I cant use the phrase "illegal" without chortling over a joke in the crew room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Having seen the Proel one in action, I would caution buying a whole lot of these without inspection and/or testing. The Proel one shudders quite a bit- enough to make me worry about the hot fillament of the lamp getting broken. Nice idea though- but IMO only really a concert thing.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
