A couple of months ago, I sold a 1000 watt times square light for $750.00 on ebay. It wasnt half the light this one is, although they are virtually identical in manufacture and function, this one is made to go to war, super-heavy duty and includes all gels built in, a working 1000 watt bulb, and the monster duty 3 legged stand on wheels. Add the $75.00 lense, and you have a unit that could withstand almost anything. Lense would cost around $75.00. Free freight in the continental U.S.
