Good priming is always a good idea, yes.

We used to use quite a lot of MDF. The surface treatment resists the odd spill but a good soak will work its way through. The edges soak up liquid like blotting paper. Once wet it "blows" and swells quite badly. Takes acrylic stage paint quite well, though. We've never had a real issue with...

If Amber is too pale try an apricot - L147 perhaps, or straw L103?

I guess so.

Datasheet says auto sensing PSU, should work on 110-260V 50/60 Hz. I'd check the handbook.

I've seen suggestions on FB to run a 4K 2x2 video wall controller and split that into multiple projectors. Not sure how that works, personally.

@techieman33 have you reported this errant behaviour to ETC so they can look in to it? Sounds like the sort of thing they'd want to investigate.

Also a very good question, which leads on to are there any architectural controllers in the system, and how is it cabled otherwise? any mergers and splitters that may be misbehaving?

Same basic design as the ones in our ageing Mac550 - the threaded end of the lamp goes through a slot and is held between two sprung pieces of metal, without using the finger nut that the lamp is supplied with.

Doughty still manufacture stage braces - maybe they also sell spares.

Essentially how I'm working at the moment - PC with twin monitors connected over the internet to my desktop PC in the office 18 miles away. In this example I'm running over citrix, but that's just a detail to allow me to RDP to any of several machines I'm enabled for in the office, but there are...

A colleague of mine told me of a time he and his band were rehearsing and the lead guitarist got a shock off his guitar. It was only when he fell over that he broke the circuit. He said he was convinced he was screaming for help. The rest of the band said he hadn't made a sound and the first...

Lots of smartphone cameras mirror the image so it looks like you're looking in the mirror. Usually you can toggle that feature.
