Joe Bleasdale Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Ambersphere is probably best as its as close to direct as possible. If not, AC Lighting would be my second call. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Moderation: The investment in Sharpies is not an inconsiderable outlay, so perhaps could we recommend companies we have personal experience of for products of this type - I've hidden a couple of posts where it seems clear the poster's recommendation was unlikely to be based on spending their own money, and was the kind of thing I'm sure the OP has already discovered on Google. For a purchase of this kind, I would be looking for evaluations of how good service is once you have the kit - availability of spares and the kind of treatment you get. The big boys are obvious places to try - but if somebody has bought equipment of this kind, here's a good place to detail the kind of treatment you got. At this budget level, I'd suggest that price alone is not the critical factor, considering what it is you are buying. Please - if your experience is simply picking firms at random after a Google search, or based on other people's purchases - don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Couch Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'd go through ambersphere, they're the uk dealers, and the tech support after is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody2 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 it depends on how many the OP wants? I bought mine from clay paky in Italy and picked up when running an event out there, far cheaper than any UK supplier ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 .... and the UK distributors are doing any under guarantee work free of charge? I've never had much luck with buying from a distributer abroad. Yamaha, for example, here in the UK refused point blank to do any service whatsoever on the desk I wanted that they could not supply when I got it from Yamaha in Germany who were willing to ship it here?
