3" Frenels

[JP12687]

Does anyone know how many Watts each of these take?

I am doing a festival right now, with almost no lighting at the host school. So i am attempting to build in 3" frenels into my set, But i have very limited power supplys, and i do not think i can plug more then 1 Satalite dimmer in.

Does anyone know this?

Do you know what lamp is in them?

If not, have a look at the lamp and see what is stamped on it. This will then allow you to check the wattage of the lamp.

There was a similar question asked not that long ago by dim-watt (I think he changed it to dimwatt or dim_watt) and a search should help you to find his post. From memory it was his first post here.

Yea i do not have them in stock, we would have to rent them.

It is just an idea being thrown around, I'll do some research on it when i have some time later tonight.

Thanks

Well if you are renting them, just ask the rental company.

[JP12687]

I will, but no company is open over the weekend.

I did a little research and found that they are 100w lights, which is perfect.

[moojoe]

yup. theyre 100's though they can back a fairly good punch for just 100 watts

Good that is exacly what i am looking for.

This festival is so horrible, and we are doing Metamorphesis so we need more then just G325 front light.

So we are building in specials into the set

and along the front of the stage i will have 3 S4 Pars with Wide angle lens and a color scroller on them

And 2 50degree S4s with breakup washes...also with a Color scroller on them...they will be crossing the stage

We will then run everything off my ETC 48/96 that will be resting in a custom roadcase, with a pop up-swing out Flast Screen.

The satalite dimmers built into the case

And on the bottome. We are having a 6000w gas powered generator, with soundproofing around it.

We are completly self contained. This years festival only has 1 20amp circuit backstage....and we were warned that it was old and there was no gurentee that it will actually hole a full 20amps...and we will be pushing it, so we decided to self contain everything.

It shuold be fun...as we only have 5min to set everything up ons tage..and 5 min. to come off

[moojoe]

if you have all that stuff, then why is it so horrible?

[JP12687]

everything is being rented.

there are 12 schools, and We are the only school using this stuff. The actual situation is pretty bad there. We just arent letting it stop us, It just required some thinking outside the box.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the generator going under the express. What are you doing to ventilate the generator?
