So as it Stands right now, we have this huge Strand transfer panel that whenever power is cut to the room, it switches the house lights from the dimmer racks to the generator/school power. I know that when the house lights were moved to LED, that was a very expensive project and required lots of...
I guess I shouldn’t have put that option on there, I’m like 99% sure we are gonna go all LED with no dimmers. However you do make a good point that DMX controlled house lights would work better. There is some weird curve issues with our current ones.
Yeah, we don't really want to go with any dimmers at this point. We would rather go all relays with a small dimmer rack for our house lights. Our house lights are already LED but they aren't controlled through DMX, they still have to be dimmed. Then get Echo Relay panels. Question though, if we...
You make some very good points. However for the dimmer situation, let's say that they do last a few more years, if a processor dies during a show, the Auditorium is out of commission for months and retrofitting would already be expensive. Plus I hate Strand Outlook so architectural controls...
We definitely talked over the idea of a consultant. We still may hire one because of how big an upgrade this is. We have had bad experiences in the past with our last consultant. We may not need one because BIG is helping us a lot with upgrade paths and options we have. (Still in pretty early in...
So I have had great experiences with the Martin Rush Pars. I LOVE them! And zoom is a super nice feature to have. I don't really care about RDM that much, I know it's helpful but it isn't a deal breaker for me. I will look into the Sola Frame 1000s, they might be overkill for us but to be honest...
We have like 45ish Source 4s so they would be for retrofitting. Throw is around 40ft and we are using 26 and 36 degree lenses. We are using 750 Watt bulbs in our catwalk. If we were to do this upgrade we would swap to 19s and 26s.

So here is the problem with Lustrs for us. They aren’t bright enough from our Catwalk so we would a ton of them. Source 4WRD IIs are as bright as a 750 watt bulb. We already have 12 Series 2 Lustrs and they are great. We use them for everything. We have shown this to our Facilities Director and...
So here’s the problem. Strand outlook architectural controls SUCKS! We hate it! So I would really like to look into Paradigm. Now, we could go with Strand vision.net but that involves switches to c21. We got a quote from Barbizon that was so high, that it’s not even worth the retrofit. I would...
Hello everyone, I’m currently in High School. Our high school was built in 2004 and contracted with JR Clancy and Strand to do lighting in our Auditorium and Black Box. Currently as it stands, we have a few LED fixtures and DMX locations. Including 12 LED Lustrs. Our current board setup is an...
