Star Your Lighting Inventory

I'm curious what sort of scale everyone here works on, so if you have a few moments, please post your lighting inventory, maybe a rep light plot or something of that flavor.

Here's what we have @ Oconomowoc High School
  • OHS Little Theatre
    • Fixtures
      • Source Four
        • (x2) 26°
        • (x2) 36°
        • (x12) PAR EA
        • (x8) PARnel
      • Source Four Jr.
        • (x2) 26°
        • (x10) 36°
        • (x6) 50°
        • (x4) 25°/50°
      • Strand
        • (x6) 6" 1kw Fresnel
    • Dimming/Control System
      • ETC Express 24/48
      • Unison DR12 cross-bussed rack
        • (x24) Dual 20a dimmers
      • Architectural Stations

It's not a lot, but we're also currently displaced, limited only to a 125-seat space, which will be under renovation until October. Once we get our new Arts Center up in late November we'll be purchasing...

  • Oconomowoc Arts Center
    • Fixtures
      • Source Four
        • (x6) 10°
        • (x25) 19°
        • (x20) 26°
        • (x20) 36°
        • (x12) 15°/30°
        • (x12) 25°/50°
        • (x24) PAR EA
      • L&E
        • (x5) Broadcyc (3-cell) units
      • Strong
        • (x2) Canto 1200 Followspot
    • Control & Dimming System
      • ETC Congo Jr. (1024 outputs)
      • (x3) ETC Sensor+ 48 Dimmer Rack
        • (x140) Dual 20a dimmer mods)
      • ETC ER4 Processing Rack
      • Architectural Stations

What do you have?

Looks to be a nice, workable space. (But I must inquire as to the wisdom of a Congo Jr. in a space with no moving lights, or for a high school in general.)

To answer your question, my primary venue, a 16,000-seat arena, has 10 Strong 2K Xenon Super Trouper LTs. That's all. All other lighting is rented and brought in on a per show basis. It's really the only workable way, as each show has different and diverse requirements. It's the same reason Broadway theatres provide only Houselights and power.

Isn't really much wisdom behind it. They decided on that sometime last year before an Ion was available. They didn't spec a master playback wing for it either, but I've requested once the facility is handed over to us from the contractors that we strongly consider purchasing one, but since they don't even know if they'll have the money for risers, I don't know if that'll go through. I know we are getting a Wenger concert shell system though, for a couple hundred thousand dollars, plus pit fillers, but not a hydraulic lift, but that's alright.

It'd be hard to say there won't be moving lights; I know we won't have any, but it will be a roadhouse available for rent with shows coming through which we've contracted in, so I wouldn't be surprised if every once in awhile something intelligent shows up, but it would be maybe once or twice a year, if that. Not a lot to bank on for putting a Congo Jr. in, but mind you, the specs were made before the Ion was announced, though I did mention it to the project managers, but apparently it's too difficult to change something that's already on paper.

They outdid us on the sound system. Yahmaha LS9-32 digital mixer, bunch of wireless mic's, speakers, the works. So I can't say I have much to complain about until we walk into the space and I can ask, "Why did we buy ____ when we should've purchased _____?"

I hate to tell you this, but your cross-section sheet looks like something that came out of Sim Tower.

I don't see it, but I've never played Sim Tower.

Our theater is a 360 seat house owned by the city and provided at a small percentage of the "door" for a community theater. I am paid as a master electrician, on a per show basis. Because I am retired with a decent retirement, and don't want to deal with self employment taxes, I use the money to buy lighting and sound equipment for the theater. I make the decisions of what to purchase, and usually look for equipment on ebay. I look for equipment, that may need minor repairs to get the most for my money. About 40% of what I will list was purchased by me and the rest was at the theater when I arrived four years ago. The theater is just now starting it's 39th season. We also have a small blackbox theatre that seats 60.

66 Source 4 bodies
24 50* lenses
29 36* lenses
14 26* lenses
10 19* lenses

5 Colortran 30*
1 Altman Microelipse

15 Electrocontrol 8" fresnel
9 Electrocontrol 6" fresnel
7 Altman 8" fresnel
10 Altman 6" fresnel
28 ETC PARNel
27 ETC PAR
12 PAR 56
12 Electrocontrol Striplights 4circuit 12 PAR 40s
12 Chauvet LED color pars

EDI rack with 120 2.4K dimmers
Electrocontrol dimmers in custom built rack for house lights 5 x 3.6k
84 1.2k dimmers in various configurations that I manufactured
15 pulse width modulation dimmers that I manufactured for use in dimming LEDs

Compulite Micron 4D console
ETC Express 125
Chauvet stagesetter 48
Behringer LC2412
Jands 24 channel
(Some of the consoles were given to me broken and I rebuilt them) the Compulite is my own personal board.

6 Apollo Q6 scrollers
9 Rainbow two 16 scrollers
5 Original Chroma Qs
5 custom made scroller power supplies

I'm sure that I have forgotten something, but this will give you the general idea.

Wow, it's already evident: "The size of the boys is the price of their toys" (or something like that). I was remiss in not stating my venue type; I think that is an important criterion for this discussion.
