Arena Dousers
A local arena has asked me about adding mechanical shutters to their main high bay lights (Lithonia THP 1000M) so that they can dim them for pre-game events without having to wait for them to cycle back on. I'm looking at the Payne-Sparkman LiteShades - does anyone have any experience with these, or their control system? Interfacing with DMX? Other manufacturers?

re: Arena Dousers
I know Wybron makes dousers, but I don't know how large you need.

re: Arena Dousers
How many fixtures will be "dimmed?"
Sounds like a motorized Barn Door assembly could do the trick.

re: Arena Dousers
A motorized barn door assembly would be kind of a 'one off' custom construction. That's why I asked how many units he would need. My shop could make them if there is enough quantity to make it reasonable.

re: Arena Dousers
No, I haven't. It is however a simple mechanical concept that wouldn't be hard to fabricate.
