    Light in eyes bothering performers

    If you can have her walk the blocking cue to cue and ask her to identify it - if she does hit on a couple fixtures irritating her, you might try adding a cut of Hamburg frost to the gel in the fixture- if it doesn’t ruin your field too much. A tiny bit of frost can take the edge off an...

    Control/Dimming LED Par malfunction

    Aedan, First, everyone is correct, find and use a constant A/C source or invest in a relay module at the dimmer rack. The mistake you are making by setting a dimmer circuit to non - dim profile is common as venues are buying LED’s and movers and not taking care of how to get power to them. I...
