are these good in low light such as a theater?

We use them for checking on livestock etc. and they are wonderful! I don't know why they wouldn't work in a theater. They are compact, but not small like opera glasses. Carry a big purse if you're going to the theater. I LOVE the glasses and would buy them all over again!

I have used these at indoor concerts and they worked great. They do not amplify light but use what is available and do it well.

These are not low-light specials but will function more than adequately in most situations. They are however too big and powerful for theater use - these are great for distances of 50 to 500yds. Birds, people, sport - I bought them for golf at the US Masters. If you want theater binoculars, go for small and light-weight, not these - unless you are in the habit of walking into theaters with a brick hanging around your neck!

80/20's will be bright, while the bronze will enhance the low end. That's my experience!

I agree with Dustin. These work great for lighting "effects" but not much more than that. 8 may do the trick but I can't personally attest to that. We use 4 of them against a back wall for some really nice color ambient effects. I'm definitely happy with the lights at this price for this purpose, but they're not gonna light a whole lot if you're looking to illuminate a stage.

yes, they are quite adequate. There are two settings. The lower is good for general lighting, the higher is fine for reading. They are good lights. I have two in my cabin and one in my shed. Lasts long and nice to have solar lighting. Easy to install.

Hi. I honestly can't say if these would work at the theater with 3D movies because these glasses need to connect to a DLP source such as TV's and/or projectors. I think what the theaters use are "PASSIVE" meaning they don't use batteries (lenses are blue and red) while these glasses are "ACTIVE" (using batteries to control the lenses using refresh rate). So I'm not sure if these would work in the theaters. One thing for sure is that when it's in the "OFF" position, the lenses are clear. When you switch it in the "ON" position, the lenses turn dark. I hope I answered your questions. Hi. I honestly can't say if these would work at the theater with 3D movies because these glasses need to connect to a DLP source such as TV's and/or projectors.

No! To be honest I feel like I wasted money on these. The speakers are okay at best. The sub is nice, but it does just like someone else mentioned. When watching a movie, if sound dips or there's a lull. The sub cuts off and back on when sound picks up. So you'll get that blue light off and on flicker. Sometimes even a little thump when the sub comes back on. I do like the size of them if you're tight on space. If you aren't go with some bigger front and center speakers. Hope that helps.

I use these in my theatre. You dont want them to be overpowering. With what you listed as your mains, I would personally go with these.

Yes. I have mine on a dimmer and they look gorgeous in the lower light setting.

Yes it's great in low light. I've taken pictures in pitch black with the flash and they turned out great!

Yes. They are adequate, but definitely not the strongest lights you can buy. For the price, they are handy to have and comfortable to wear.

The short answer is yes. They're designed for closeup & macro work so, they don't need to put out a lot of light. Most of my closeup work is under 3 feet. It should work automatically via your cameras TTL flash system.

Plenty, plenty of light. You will be very pleased. I build custom theaters for a living.

I think the low light ability is fairly good. Once the light level drops below a certain level, the camera automatically switches to B/W.

Some units have the still setting, the effects are are very good, in zero illumination will be much better. Is a good product for lighting effects.

Heck to the no man, invest in some real lighting if you're making films man these are only back ups for fill lol

As long as you are steady, it is a very good performer in low light. It also has a number of settings you can adjust for the low light situation, and I have gotten some great shots with it. It is excellent in movie mode at night.

Definitively! They are pretty strong. Ideally you'd want another light from the top, but for a no budget film these are actually very fancy ;-) I use them to shoot against green screen and they work great! They're just a bit clumsy, so make sure you set them up well and be careful if you need to move them. For the price you really can't do better.
