That fixture you described was, I think, trying to blend both with a gimmicky result. Yeah - this is not a replacement for a spot fixture.

Had an LED ring around a regular halide assembly. The LED threw a bright wash - but it went everywhere. It's only real use was for a full UV look, or to wash the audience. Theatrically kind of a bust. Because the beam was so wide and diffuse, it didn't have any point intensity. At that time, I thought LEDs, great for cyc lights and any time a set element is close to the light, but not a replacement for a moving fixture. We'll see if that begins to change.
