Hey all,I'm looking for a bit of advice on how to use an i-cue / dmx iris on an outdoor rig. There is no ceiling or roof structure, which makes it a bit more complicated. I'm in NJ, and the weather has been a bit crazy lately, so I'm not sure quite how to approach it.Does anybody have any...

There was no detectable difference in the lenses. I now have 11 Fresnels with Strand lenses and 1 with an Altman lens, and they look just fine.Thanks for your help.Hess

Thank you!

Hey, everyone!I haven't posted in quite awhile, but I just wanted some feedback. I have a Strand 8" Fresnelite with a cracked lens, and there's a 20 day lead time on a replacement. I could get a cheaper Altman 8" lens with no lead time, but I'm not sure if they are compatible.Does anyone...

Just out of curiosity, how many of Kreios fixtures did you use for your space? I'm looking at the IES file posted on the website, which is indicating that I'd need a significant number of fixtures to get an adequate light level. Any personal recommendations?

That was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much, derekleffew. I really appreciate it. And to clarify the original post for anyone who might have a similar problem, stage lights were coming up in recorded viewpoint presets. It had never happened before (we had used these...

Hey, everyone! I hope you guys might be able to help me (I know you definitely have in the past). My theatre has an older house lighting system. The panel (photo attached) says Lee Environmental Lighting w/ a homemade sticker on it that says "Viewpoint". We also have two "Panic" stations...

So, I checked when I was at the theatre, today, and found out some interesting things: 1) It clicks with any sort of intensity change (up) 2) The volume of the click heard is related to how fast the change happens and how much the intensity changes. For example, when the fixture goes to...

It is an internal dimmer. I will check when I go in, today, and let you guys know what I find. Thank you!

Hey, everyone! We have two VL1000 ERS Tungsten units hung in our grid for our current musical, and we have noticed an issue that we haven't ever had before. I'd love your input on what might be causing it and what any possible solution could be. Whenever we up the intensity of one of...

@ship:I am trying to create a Qlight system that uses a cable other than zipcord (which is what we use, now).My idea was to use XLR cable, since we have so much of it. The SM would have the QLight console with toggle switches, and the power would run through the XLR to the stage, where it...

I hadn't noticed that before. Thank you, guys! I really appreciate your help!

A 4 pin XLR is definitely an option, here. I hadn't really considered it. My university uses endless amounts of zipcord for our Qlights, and it makes me want to cry. So, I am making a Qlight system that used XLR and LED lights to make it a decent system that didn't involve wire nuts and...

Thank you, so much!

Does Pin 1 in an XLR Cable, which I've found is listed as the ground pin, need to be a ground? What I am asking is could Pin 1 send power like Pins 2 and 3 do? I was hoping to use all three of these pins to send power to a custom cue light system, but I haven't been able to find a straight...
