Those considering purchasing 2 or more NJD Datamoons may wish to hold fire for a few weeks. On the market very soon will be a NJD Datamoon package, consisting of a pair of NJD Datamoons, foam lined stucco trimmed flightcase, and a handheld dedicated controller with several functions

The last bit will probably also be of interest to Datamoon owners looking for a handheld controller for their existing datamoons. Whether this controller will be available as an aftermarket product isn't yet clear, but it is certainly included in the package.

Looking at the trade price of these, it looks to be extremely good value for money, and I would anticipate that the entire system will be offered for sale by discount mail order retailers with a £250 price tag

The product arrives in the UK, at the end of the Month, and as with all NJD products is likely to sell out very quickly!. So now might be the time to contact your favourite retailer to get one on back order, and haggle a deal!.

DFB have been doing this package ever since the Datamoons were relaunched...

Actually... they've added a line to say it won't be avaliable till 2006.. can't remember that being there before though.

Looks great for £249.

I used to have Datamoons, and of all the lights I have sold in the past, they are the only ones I would ever consider buying again.

Although, I did get some dichroic glass put over the open gobo - too bright I thought.

NJD deliveries have always been hit and miss since they moved production to overseas. You'll find that they have stock for a few weeks, which is soon eaten up by existing long term schedules or back orders from the DJ Megastores and mail order distributors, then its 12 - 16 weeks lead time on a slow boat, before they are available again.

This is why I subtly pointed out that you should back order NJD Datamoons, whether single or the new packages, this way you avoid disappointment.

Although how fast it sells out does indicate how popular this die hard effect still is despite being around for more than 10 years, and with the addition of a much
needed and overdue dedicated controller it can only increase that popularity.
