    Control/Dimming Powering down LED circuits to lengthen fixture life

    RVs? I think we got off topic. The problem is, according to th OP , that people aren’t turning the lights off and by extension probably not the console either. So regardless that the non dim modules will cut power when no DMX is present, if no one turns the lights/console off, the LEDs will...

    Using ETC Source Four for Broadcast Lighting - Lamp Intensity vs. Color Temperature?

    I do a lot of small corporate meetings that are video recorded, i-mag'ed and webcast, with a live audience.

    Which is better: Elation SixPar 200 RGBAW-UV LED PAR or Chauvet Colordash Par H12 IP for small community theater. 12' high grid, use as backlight/color wash. Looking for durability, reliability, good color uniformity across units.

    High school getting an update!!

    I would bump the new lighting console up towards the top( depending on what you have now) if you are considering LED fixtures. Many more addresses needed than most older/simpler boards offer.

    Getting Started with Nomad

    Touchscreens are questionable with Macs I think, and the Cherry keyboard is Windows or Linus only. LxKey(UK) or cmd_key(US) are pricey alternatives.
