    The History of Bandit Lites

    Bill, I apologize if I have caused you any offence.It is difficult to stand by and watch someone, Mr. Beal in this instance, make unfounded allegations only to have another poster, in this instance you, imply my statements may not be trusted as I work for Bandit ("I could support you better...

    Changing a lamp in a Supernova

    It has been too many years since I last messed with one of these units. As I recall, there is no "easy access" and one must remove a large cover from either the top or the bottom to get to the lamp.I would say the bottom center panel is the best place to start... Again, it has been MANY years...

    What does this Russian lady want??

    Tubular Ripple might be the device to which she is referring.City Theatrical offers one in the US and they are common in the EU if I recall correctly.The Rosco X-Effects is a MUCH better version of the same concept though, especially considering the cost of the CT unit...

    At a minimum, the school, in order to minimize their liability, MUST have an engineer inspect and field certify the truss. "Homemade" truss is nothing short of a lawsuit waiting for the right moment to jump into the lap of the institution!!!Light Source offers some square tubing clamps, AND...
