I recently began working at my old high school, helping them with the lighting for their spring musical.The space is wonderful and has 5 electrics of strip lights, don't know the manufacturer, but they are 4 system strips (RGBA roundels) and have 100 lamps per strip. For the past 15+ years...

Awesome, thanks!

It's electronic. I have a model number, but can't find it on the internet anywhere. It's a Schiederwerk KZG 8-7 BK

I have a Elation 575E wash that I received used a few years ago. Recently, during the run of a show, I was having trouble with the lamp striking. It would sometimes, sometimes it would not. I replaced the lamp (it was near the end of it's life) and now the unit will always strike, but then go...

Thanks! I have had similar problems with the adhesive. These are going to end up being footlights that I am going to use in the future, so I'm going to go ahead and glue the tape to AL bar stock and then attach that to the frame. I imagine I'll have much better luck with the tape sticking to...

I've used a lot of LED tape in the past, but mostly for short term use. In our next show, I'm using it built into the set and it will be on, probably close to full, for the entire show. In this case, would y'all recommend adhering it to some AL stock for a heat sink, or would it be fine just...

I would just go to your local fab shop and have them weld a coupler onto a plate of steel and you're done

We are about to do a run of Pinocchio and I'm looking to have a voice come from the log, before he is carved into Pinocchio. We have a few nice bluetooth speakers in the space and I was looking at putting one of them in the log, but will end up needing a bluetooth extender, something like this...

I agree, this is better left up to the imagination of the audience. You are never actually going to hear anything pop, so you'd have to have a sound effect anyway. At that point, it could just be a empty grab, sound effect and a quick squirt of fake blood on the crotch

It's been said, but the CD80 racks are beasts, no need to do any upgrades, use that money in other places

Not too much to add here, other than you need to find whoever tore the ground pin off that LED PAR and give them a stern talking to. Go through your building, find all your plugs with these missing and re-terminate them.

Can we see it?

I would recommend finding another way to get this look. If you're just interested in the color of the strobe, you can gel a light that is designed to be left on.

I mean, I'd probably this is a "get over it" sort of situation. You paid a third (a quarter?) of what a Doug Fleenor splitter would be and this is just cosmetic. But, it sounds like you've gotten it taken care of, so that's good. But I wouldn't disregard a company that everyone else has good...

I read this as "bodily fluid stars" first and it sounded pretty.
