I am looking to buy a few scanners that have bright beams in venues WITHOUT any fog. Are these Concept 2's the right one's??? If not, which are the brightest in this price range???

In order to see the beams of light, there needs to be some sort of thicker atmosphere in the venue (either fog, haze, or smoke).

The power ("brightness") of the lamp in the fixture doesn't determine a visibly-defined beam of light when there is no fog/haze/smoke present. In a really dark environment, there may be an ambient glow from the lights, but no 'beams'. But in general, when there is no thicker atmosphere, only the surface that the light falls onto will be illuminated. This surface can be lit brighter with a higher-powered lamp, but that will be the only concentration of light.

When there is fog/haze/smoke, the beams will be visible, meaning, the concentration of light between the fixture and the surface becomes visible. A higher-powered lamp will make these beams brighter.

Unless you're in smoky clubs/bars, the beams won't really show. If you're opposed to fog, consider haze. A haze machine will allow you to see the beams without the thick cloud.

Hope this makes sense.

Best,
