Introducing the “Not-at-all-new” Gamma LED Vision! In this video, I look at the Gamma TX4 250w Zoom, Starburst Pro 7x18w Par, Econ 6x18w RGBWA+UV Battery Powered Par.
These are a really solid, imported brand of lights that's been around for about 10 years. Instead of focusing on getting big and then making great lights, they took the opposite approach - they've engineered really solid lights at a really great cost, and now they're becoming more popular.
These aren't your brother's imported lights! It's really nice stuff!
