I have never used them, but have seen them in action. Honestly, IMO, the stuff is priced about 3x higher than I feel is fair value. I once had a DJ show me his setup and FOR THE PRICE, I was highly unimpressed. It's nice stuff, but just not worth the cost.
I had purchase their truss system back in 1997 & WAS alot of money for that time. It was impressive - those ACL lights literally would light up the room. I ran the setup dimmed at about 50% most of the time. Also made for a clean look because the I beam truss was already wired & setup to run a light show. Had 6 outlets to plug in the special effect lights. No dmx, just on & off. 2 Neutrik cables - one on each piece - plug into a very heavy dimmer pack that hooked up to a Lightcraft controller.
My complaint - when one light went out, the whole channel did not work. And you had to use both pieces of truss - couldn't use just one. The "color" was plastic covers held by some sort of funky spring wire, which quite often came loose during transport. Connecting ends on the truss were prone to bending. The prewired outlets for your effects would come loose after a period of time & were the devil to get back together.
My thoughts: I should have gone with the boxes rather than the truss. I would imagine that everything has been updated. Yes it is more expensive, but you are paying them to do the packaging, wiring etc.
Certainly do not use it anymore. Tossed it about a year ago.

While I cannot talk about that specific set-up I can say that Jim and Adam are some of the best people in the business. I have known and used them for over 15 years and they have been a fixture at many trade shows for longer than that. Their service after the sale is fantastic.
They do make some of the most innovative set-ups...when I purchased my truss from them we designed a series of attachments and unique facades for the truss...many that they still sell today.
