Cyberlight History

Hi guys,
Any Cyberlight experts in the forum?

I was trying to gather some information on the history/release dates of the Cyberlight models.

I can't afford a new 2.0 model and plus it's too powerful for me (2000 watts). So, i'm looking at getting a used model, however there are many to choose from and I can't seem to find a comparison sheet for the models. There's the Turbo, SV, CX and CL i believe.

I'm not sure what ones are the latter models or did they all come out at the same time, but have different levels of features?

Any help picking a solid problem free model would be appreciated. (Or would you buy one at all in favour of another brand) I know the old Intellibeams were mostly lemons...how are the CyberLights?

I miss the Trackspot. I wish Highend would bring out an "all purpose" scanner head light again. 250watts - 575watts - somewhere in that field - something that doesn't cost your left arm and your first born. It seems Martin is still making the 250 Watt SCX-700 light for average sized clubs.

It seems they are heading towards servicing the corporate sector instead of the Ten's of thousands of average nightclubs - shame.

Any help would be appreciated on the Cyberlight history (years they were released etc, and features).

    If my memory serves me correctly, the CX is a limited capability, cheaper model. The CL, SV, and Turbo are pretty much the same fixture with zoom (the CX is fixed), focus, litho gobos, etc. The SV added a silent blower (SV = Studio Version) and the Turbo changed to a short arc lamp, added even more fans for cooling, and increased the output. Any variant can be converted to any other - they really are that close. And no matter the variant, they are all 1200 watt . . . and won't run on 120V power . . .

    Oh, and the Turbo was in production right until the Cyberlight 2.0 was released. Not sure when the first ones came out though, but I am sure one of the HES guys will chime in in the morning.

    And I take exception to Intellabeams being lemons! I still run some, and other than the bad card connectors (replace them once proactively, they never fail again!), they have been rock solid for years!
