We are working on starting a lighting business in a midsize college town. We anticipate lighting frat parties, weddings, maybe a few shows at music venues, and whoever else will put up with us. We have a contact who deals Elation and American DJ lighting among others and we're planning to get started with a few LED PAR cans. Regarding specific models we're considering, does anybody have experience with American DJ Flat PAR Tri18 or the Elation Opti Tri PAR? Anybody have other favorite models from either company?
In general, do any of you have opinions on what equipment is helpful for temporary, professional-looking installations at nice venues? Know any types of potential customers/venues we might not be thinking of? Anybody have a good source for truss? my partner has worked for a large-ish firm in Texas so knows a little; my background is in physics so I understand theory but I'm trying to wrap my head around everything specific to the lighting world. Anybody have general advice?
