We are doing some renovations in our building and are looking to replace our Existing mismatched metal halide fixtures/lamps. We have 12, that we use as generic "non-show" Houselights/Worklights.
We tried a "corn cob" style LED lamp replacement (Ballast Bypass) on a single fixture the active fan cooling on it made an audible background noise for a fixtures situated 40 ft in the air. 12 of them would have been an unbearable amount of background white noise for the room when just working in the space/rehearsals etc.
We are looking at a Fixture replacement from 1000bulbs.com that places the active cooling above the ceiling which we think will be better for noise in the room.
The fixtures are mounted about 40ft in the air over the House seating. They are mounted in a wooden Slatted Ceiling with "attic" access to the top back side of anything we install.
Have any of you other venue folk made the move and have suggestions. our current 12 fixtures are 400w Metal Halide of varying color temps. we've never had all 12 matching and working at the same time So i'm sure we'll be happy with something like 17klm to 20klm from a 4k color temp new fixtures.
