Hello Leroy - I have looked at this but it is to light a cyc or backdrop, I
believe? What I was after was an FOH lantern which could project the effect.
Original idea was to use effects wheels but concensus on this forum was to
consider instead a DJ unit, of which there are several low priced units.

It later transpired that our normal hirer, Stagecraft, had just started
offering the Showtec Aquatic which was one such. After much scouring of the
internet I have finally found the manufacturer and should have some details
about it soon - and Stagecraft have offered a chance to try it out.
