Hello, all. I'm a soundman new to this forum. So, take it easy on me... 8)
I run mobile sound for mostly bands (rock, alternative,
etc). I have a fairly large (relatively speaking) system for local shows (8x18s for Subs and matching mids and highs.
FoH wattage is about 17k to 20k total.
So, I'm wanting to build a light rig that I can hopefully run off of the same 200A
distro as my sound (I know, I know...flame away...)
So, I was thinking of probably 10 cans and 4 moving heads. I was thinking 56's or 64's for the cans, and maybe some trackspots for the movers.
So, assuming I have my lights, what board and
dimmer packs are recommended. I really know very little about lighting, but I am limiting the work I can take by not having a basic lighting rig...
Also, any advice on where to go to get a 'deal' on a lighting package like what I mentioned here?
Thanks in advance for all advice.
Matt
