    Are Theatrical Relays Really Necessary In LED Based Systems

    Agreed. It’s better than using a dimmer to power an LED fixture. And in your situation it was the better option.Like I said, each situation is different. Replacing a $50 breaker every year over the course of 25 years will be more cost effective for some venues than buying a single relay card...

    Are Theatrical Relays Really Necessary In LED Based Systems

    In my opinion, just because it works doesn't make it the best way to do it. Sure, that standard breaker will work for years probably, flipping it on and off every night. But, it isn't recommended because they aren't made to do that.I can plug an LED fixture into a dimmer rack and park the...

    Oh so you don't swap relay cards around your dimmer racks depending on where the intelligent fixtures are?Do you find that you need to run cable all through your building depending on where a fixture ends up?

    Proper Way To Call Cues

    This is an OLD thread, but I ran across it so I thought I would add my 2 cents.I come from a theatrical setting, mainly straight plays, but also musicals.In my experience, pretty much all SM's call a show the same, and this is how it goes.SM: Stand by Lights 740 SM: Lights 740 "beat"...

    tool lanyards???

    I personally will never trust a belt loop again. Doesn’t matter who makes it. But, to each their own. I do like those tool lanyards. I have them on a number of my tools.

    Adjustable Ladder

    I too have seen some good rigs. A steeldeck platform with casters and we threw a single man genie up on top.Unfortunately, that isn't an option for me in this situation.

    Adjustable Ladder

    The ladder we currently use in this application feels totally comfortable. I too have been up on those ladders, being pushed around a stage at the top of the stick while focusing. The Genie is much nicer. I haven't found scaffolding to be a great solution for the majority of what I need.

    Adjustable Ladder

    Yeah, I know it's a tough ask, just trying to see if there is something out there that will fit the bill. The reason for the 1 person stipulation, is so that 1 person can set it up while the other person is grabbing whatever gear they may need. Not working alone. I do appreciate the concern.
