Currently shopping around for a local venue who is replacing their Elation 575E Moving head fixtures. They have been through the ringer and haven't lasted all that well. (Due to manufacturing glitch way back when)Anywho. I have a $10g budget price and would like to replace them with something...

Does anyone know what the BTU (British Thermal Units) is on a standard HPL 575w Lamp used in Source4 Lekos/pars?I need to calculate the heat output of my fixtures in BTU rating.I have seen the equasion (V * I) * 3.142 = BTU, but that number seams to come out way to high. [(Volts *...

This would be my same suggestion. From the photos, I would take an educated guess that both the com wires and the speaker wires are running out of the rack bundled together. And I can almost guarantee the shielding on the cables going to the speakers are lightly shielded with a thin piece of...

Re: followpost gelsI have a show coming up for a corporate shin-dig. And it is going to have follow spots. But I have no clue what kind yet. Going to have R60 in all my 575w Fixtures. What Colors would you suggest to have on hand to try and color match a follow spot?

I have seen many different versions on various cables, but I wanted to know, Is there a standard guage of wire for DMX cable and XLR cable.I think it's 24awg for DMX cable and 20awg for audio. Is this correct? and or is there a standard?

The Hog2 platform had a way to lock the console to prevent people from programming and or fully locking down the console. Is there a way to do the same on the Hog3 platform? I have searched through the WholeHog 3 manual, and all over Road Hogs and Road Boar's and can't find a way to lock the...

Yup, right after I originally posted this. I deleted all circuits and started again from scratch. Its faster me doing it myself than try and get LW5 to do something it can't do.

Yea, that's what I figured. And no, it's not a one-off. This show I am M.E.'ing runs for 2 months. and has 400 fixtures, stretched over 18 trusses. Using 60 socco runs, and two 96ch and a 48 chan Dimmer racks on Two 400A services. Looks like it will be a long night for me. I was tentitive of...

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good color correction for S4 Pars/Lekos with 575w tungston lamps to best match with Colorforce 72 LED (RGBA) Fixtures? I only have R60, L202, L203, L204 in stock at the moment, and none of them seam to being matching well on camera.The show venue that I have...
