So at the WFX show a couple weeks ago in Charlotte I got a chance to check out the new Wybron Cygnus, and it’s a BRIGHT fixture. It’s not cheap, at around $2,500, but boy does it have some punch!

The unit uses 23 5w Cree LEDs, and is a 4-color LED unit. Instead of using independently lensed Red, Green, Blue and White LEDs, the Cygnus uses all four LEDs in a single optical element, which allows for smoother color mixing.

It’s a good-looking unit, with a longer throw than most other LED fixtures (except for the Vari-Lite VLX, which is just sick!). The price is commensurate with the output, and the color mixing is very nice. Preliminary video testing looks pretty good, too.
