Derek is correct in his cad drawing. I have 2ft steel 95lb bases and they can fit 5 sandbags on each. Thank you for your help. Where do you get the formula for 15psf x safety margin from? Is there an industry standard?

I am hanging a 3x10 banner and attaching it to 2x10ft truss towers that is connected with a 10ft horizontal piece of truss. I am building this outdoors.Question: How large should me truss bases be? Question: How many sand bags? Question: Does my sign have to absolutely have wind slits if there...

Also I have found that with the newer generation colorblast 12's you can extend the 4wire cable out to 80ft instead of the normal 60 feet without line loss or doing damage to your pd.

Where is your warehouse? I might know of a buyer or be able to work out a way you can just rent them out.

I'm a repair tech/spot operator/ld. I would retro fit the troupers as their maintainability is easier and it is better suited to picking up your cues whether you are a novice or expert. I would choose electronic over magnetic 10/10 times. the legacy ballast always have capacitor issues and...

Try 4wall out of NY or Baltimore MD. They have legacy parts in their warehouse. Or put in a parts requisition at LightParts.com - The Parts and Repair Source for Entertainment Lighting. I have had great luck with getting my parts to fix ancient fixtures.

The ghosting most of the time is not the pd. Most of the time it is the actual fixture.

If you have CB 12 or CB blazes that are ghosting. I repair them for a reasonable price. You pay 2 way shipping of your choice plus the glass.....I charge $135 to fix it. I take pay pal and checks. My turn around time is less than one week. (301)213-3242 Also if you have any brand moving light...

If anybody has any colorblast 12's any generation that cannot be fixed using a Zapi, I have found a way to repair them. Philips/Color Kinetix will not fix out of warranty led lights and so this fix I found will save you a ton of money.

What console are you using? Is it analog or digital?(analog consoles that are old have a delay in sending data over long dmx runs) How long is your dmx run? Are you using dmx wireless?

I finally posted a gobo test shot for all to see. Does anybody think I can find a company to help me produce this fixture?

That is very true. I am trying to find a manufacturer that will help me make it more polished. I have had it on a couple of film shoots,still shoots. I would be interested to see it at a couple of weddings. It is only 28 watts and it can throw a gobo very evenly.

It is only about 2000 lumens. Eventually I would like to get it up to about 6000 lumens and fully dimmable. This is not a s4 replacement but rather a smaller footprint ers.

I have heard good things about the rc4 system but I have yet to get my hands on one.
