We've explored various breakaway urethane options, as well as candy glass, but neither seem to have the...

    Lee Colortran Lens Grippers

    Hi all, Big fan of all of your work, but I've rarely written in.Recently inherited 2 old Lee Colortran Elipsoidals, the kind where you can move the lenses and field stops around to change the beam size. They came with a box of lenses and little rubbery (silicone?) grippy things to keep the...

    Automated Fixtures I-Cue problems, wear & tear?

    Hi, and thanks for reading my first post on the forum. The theatre I work for has 4 Rosco I-Cue mirrors which we've been using in nightly shows for about 4 months each year, give or take, and they've always served us well. Well we've just entered cue-to-cue for this years big musical and 2...
