Good news, I talked to our assistant principal and she's going to have the custodians deal with it, my wallet is happy :)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While I was typing, lightguyty pretty summed up the problem with the dimmers in more detail. Gotta be fast on this forum :)

What dimmer rack are you using? If it's a ETC sensor rack chances are you can manually override the dmx and set a single channel's level on the rack itself. I bet it can be done with other dimmer racks but I don't have any experience with others. At my school we used to power our LED pars from...

I don't have much to contribute here but I would imagine if the gobo you printed has a lot of black ink in it, it would absorb more heat and melt prematurely in the unit. Is there any way the pattern can be altered to use less ink if it does in fact use a lot of ink?

I tried flipping the bulb numerous time to no luck, Upon investigation, I found I could spin one of the contacts on the end of the lamp leading me to believe the wires inside burned up or were simply eaten away. After carefully mangling the metal part away from the glass part, my theory was...

Good point, after reading that thread I think i'll go to our assistant principal who I feel I can ask for something insignificant like this without the grief of going through our advisor, especially during end of year. Chances are if I explain to her the problem and why we need a light on the...

Thank you, I was hoping to be able to use the sockets again but it makes sense to replace since they get eaten up like that. Now if I were to replace a socket or two, where would be the best(cheapest) place to buy them? And ultimately is it worth doing considering the year is pretty much over...

Hi, this is my first thread here and I want to get some insight on the best approach on cleaning socket terminals. At my high school we've got 8 source fours with 575w bulbs in them to light our stage and pit. After the source fours were installed, the old 360Qs were retired. Still lying around...
