    Blizzard - Not so good.

    I'm curious to hear peoples take on using blizzard lights. I have some of the Blades and the Flurry lights. I'm extremely disappointed with all of them. They work, no doubt, but the issues are endless. The blue LED in the blades is a bad blue by default. The Flurry lights have horrid motors...

    Coilng Cable

    Your statement made me chuckle. Same with the church under you.I had a guy that refused to under over my cables. I had brought him into where I worked and because he knew me personally he just decided he didn't have to listen to me and laughed whenever I told him to do stuff. He only took...

    MLC 16 alternative?

    I've used the NSI MLC 16 quite a bit and know it inside and out. I can get them used for around 300 bucks.It's the easiest board I've ever used for moving fixtures. My question is what is an alternative that works just as well but maybe is a bit newer or better? The biggest appeal of the...

    Audience blinder, LED or Conv.?

    It's not harsh if you know what you are doing. To many show I go to I see LD's fire blinders 98% of the show and it's terrible.Make it look epic without killing everyone.
