I have been looking at putting together a new lighting system for my junior high (nothing has been committed yet), and the SmartBar 2 looks like the best option to replace the existing EDI SCRimmer Stiks for which replacement parts have been hard to find and even replacing some parts we haven't got some to work. However, the only mounting options with the SmartBars is on a stand or with c-clamps where then the fixtures bolt into the bar. The existing dimmers are mounted above the batten with a pair of custom batten clamps that leave room to hang an instrument underneath the dimmer bar. The issue that I am worrying about with the SmartBars would be having to mount the hanging underneath the batten with the c-clamps, taking up valuable room to hang instruments and when I had to place an instrument where a SmartBar is hanging, having to remove the c-clamp and get out a custom bolt assembly. Has anyone here used SmartBars in an essentially permanent installation or know of a comparable product that's above DJ quality? I am looking at a dimmer strip/pack system so that I can use the existing 1 phase, 120V, 20A twist-lock connectors on most battens and negate the need and cost to pull wiring for a rack-based system.
