I'm a fan of the Flathead80. But it's big and heavy.

If you look on kinoflo's website you will see that the flathead 80 puts out 61 fc @ 10' while the parabeam puts out 63 fc @ 10'. Flathead 80 requires 2 ballasts @ 5.2 amps while parabeam uses 1 ballast @ 2 amps. Don't forget the space you need to drag around the 4' long light of the flathead 80. Plus extra bulbs.

If you're in the LA area, I have a few parabeams that I'm looking to sell in like new condition.
