Well, I'm a bit dissapointed right now. It seems ADJ's silk flame effect fixture is discontinued.

I have a need for this type of effect, and trying to stick with ADJ has been difficult. The AmericanDJ Torch Light sees a bit square. But, I like the layout of the Chauvet Bob LED as it looks far better out in the open(where I want to also have the option to use it) as well as hang it(which is another desired application.

While marketting won't comment, it must be apparent that either this type of fixture wasn't a big seller.

Odd how now every place I look, all I can find is the Bob LED and the thing isn't in stock and coming after I need this fixture.

Fortunately, the ADJ fixture, should I find one, works fine hidden as the first intended use is to be hidden in an aluminum garbage can to simulate a fire in a can, which requires the fixture to be hidden on either an internal structure to be added or else on something stuffed in there. I gotta figure out how to cut a clean hole in the bottom area to place a grommet in and then run a dimmer and DMX through that hole.

ADJ can feel free to contact me off-line if there is a product in the works. I can hold off on my purchase even though I'd like it for this upcoming show.

Since we're progressively adding a bit more each show, we're OK.

I also imagine it wasn't a big seller at least at the time, which is why I suspect it to have been canned. Now I can't find anyone who can keep them in stock, those LED flame effects are flying off the shelves.

I've called many dealers(except my preferred one) and nobody has said anything except "they don't stay in stock. As soon as we get them in, they are gone". This might be the "era of the flame effect".

I ask ADJ to reconsider!

Personally, I find this odd that this type of effect is a hot item right now. It seems to me that this is the type of item you keep in inventory and active catalog, and it just sells sporadically, but enough to justify burping them out in batches here and there and stay active.

I also totally understand not contacting customers about future products. You never know, I could be a spy for a competitor!

Sad to say, I will have to go Chauvet on this one. I'm NOT happy about this. I eve searched Ebay, but all they have are beat to hell Torch units. I don't want to take a chance. This is too bad because I'm on the record as being very pro ADJ and Elation, which won't change just because of this purchase. Sometimes we have to go with the brand that has the exact item we're looking for. I want this light for like 3-4 scenes.
