    Recommendations for tool lanyards?

    If I could get solo time in the space or get anyone to wear a helmet, it would give me a heart attack. This is the kind of space that still has their original 1979 crank up manlift who's clutch if trashed, and although 2-3 more lifts have "replaced" it, and it requires special permission to...

    Chauvet IP 3-Pin Adapters?

    That type of connector is used by offroad winch manufacturers. I'm sure I've seen just the connector for sale before, but I have no clue where.

    Recommendations for tool lanyards?

    Update:I just received a pair of the Ergodye Squids 3100F(x)'s(10lb), a Squids 3177 anchor strap(60lb), and a pair of the 3171 belt anchors(5lb)as well. I've also ordered some of their tool tails, tool shackles, and tether rings. I'm sure as I get things worked out, I'll be ordering a couple...

    6kW is 4-5x more than the 6 additional ProPars would draw so I'm not worried about adding them.My month math was a typo.

    Hey, I thought we could share pictures of our shows...

    Me and a few pictures of the HS production of Shrek I recently did. None of the pictures are mine, and If I saw a video of it, there is no way I'd say it was a HS production.

    Digital scripts? What are you using?

    I work with a HS for their local musical every year. They've used a scanned PDF of the libretto for their planning needs, using Kami for noting comments and cues. As I'm not part of the school, I don't have access to Kami(which only became apparent a week out from production, when I'd already...

    From what I recall, there are yellow ones, and another color. I know the yellow ones for the VL800 Propars.

    No ETC fixtures in the space. On the Conventional side, Altman Shakespearse, zipstrips, StarPars, and 6" Fresnels; and some 1990 vintage Colortran Lekos. On the LED side, Strand Cyc lights, Varilight Propars, showlines, and moving heads, and Prolight Eclipse FS lekos.For my purposes, it's...

    I'd rather be extra cautious, than risk a fire. I've had enough electrical fires in the past year to last a lifetime. My dayjob is in a recycling plant, and we had a 480v 60hp motor overheat and arc out last summer. When it arced out, it tripped a 200a 480v breaker. I was the first to get to it...

    4 dual relay modules each rated at 20 amps(so 8 circuits at 20a each.) I'm using 110v as a safety factor, as voltage here is in the 115-120v range.Your math is exactly correct. (8) 20 amp circuits equals 160a, which equates to 17600w at 110v.I've got (8) 20a relay circuits feeding this...

    The system is a conversion from a dual 20a dimmer system, replacing some modules with relay modules and swapping the fixture end to edison connectors. I've loaded most of the circuits to near their 20a rating, and had most of the lights on for brief times(i.e. curtain calls) without issues...

    Making Hay Bales

    Find a local farmer, assuming your in a semi-rural area; or I'm sure you have something like a tractor supply around. Get some actual bales, give them a flame retardant treatment, and coat in a heavy covering of clearcoat, or a glue of some sort. Make sure to note on the bottom that they're...

    Trying to reconfigure a 3yr old LED fixture installation by moving (6) VL800 Propars to thew FOH grid, when they now live over the stage, so far into the wings as to be useless for shows.THe FOH grid has 2 electrics, each having 4 non-dim circuits fed by ETC Sensor+ R20 relay modules. That...

    Wireless mic issues only when there's an audience in the space?

    It's a HS auditorium. The entire system was installed as a package as part of a capital project, so I'd assume the all the frequency coordination was done at that time. The building is out of town about 3 miles, so not much odd RF from low power devices other than what the school has.Part of...
