The ColorForce III seems like an awesome light, although it is making me a little sad that our department just purchased a whole bunch of ColorForce IIs. I am very curious what the price on the IIs is going to be compared to the IIs given the additional output, the sparkle LEDs, and the rising costs of everything. I think it is interesting that a company like ChomaQ who is not generally known for theatrical lighting fixtures has taken such a market lead in the colorforce line. As far as I can tell colorforces are the standard static cyc fixtures across many industries including theater, concerts, live events, and film.
I am also very curious what these SparQle pixels look like in real life. The marketing images do not seem very convincing of how they are useful for more than a couple of effects, primarily when colorforces are often used for wash lighting rather than direct audience-view where face effects are useful. I do think that this speaks to a larger trend of fixtures including small features or effects that are not core to their primary purpose. It seems to me that this is often a waste of money, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the price to add these features is negligible compared to the overall cost of the fixtures.
