    First Aid kits

    Jay - the kit looks great and should cover anything but the really big stuff. If you add a tourniquet and pressure dressing to it (part of the STB kit) it will help with that. I would forget the airway kit (very limited use) but add a pocket mask for your protection. Hopefully you won't need...

    As a Paramedic who dabbles in stagecraft, here's my $0.02.1. Any medical provider other than a physician is governed by a scope of practice and set of protocols that are established by state and local authorities. Anything we do requires a standing or direct order from a physician. Hence...

    Overcoming Backlighting

    I was asked to try to figure out a solution for a lighting problem at a local church. The sanctuary, which was built in 1994, is a 50' diameter circle in a 3/4 round configuration. with a stained glass window at the back of the stage area. The pastor either stands at the pulpit stage right in...

    Writing a grant for booth-y things.

    As an IT Guy who works with non-profits, I fully agree with @Aaron Becker. Every non-profit I have worked with are either as he described or had someone give them a grant for computers 5-8 years ago and are in the same boat as you now are. Rather than let everyone roll their own, the greatest...

    Leviton DMX dimmer leaves LED bulbs at level

    A number of years ago we were actively replacing the lamps in the 1960's era chandeliers in our church with LED bulbs. We initially left one incandescent lamp in each string, which worked well until it burned out. We put in a call to the dimmer manufacturer support (Lehigh Lighting) who told...

    Altman 360Q Focus

    @RonHebbard - Your little trick worked like a charm to at least give me an idea where to go. I did a visual of the alignment for centering, used your cap trick to determine which way to go, then moved each screw the same amount. I also took the lens tube apart and cleaned the lenses. Thanks

On pther Shure transmitters, i have found microphonics caused by poor/dirty connections on switches, poor battery contacts, and bad connections internally. the suggestions to wiggle...

    Thank you for all of the replies. The bulb that is in the one I brought home to play with is an FLK/HX600 - 575 Watt 115 volt. lamp. Playing with the bench focus I found a spot about 1/2 on the center screw away from where it was that looks better on the wall. I will see what it does when I...

    Altman 360Q Focus

    I am having trouble getting a pair of 6x9 Altman 360Q's to light evenly and the same. We are adding artwork on a very plain wall for Lent and are trying to illuminate it to highlight the shapes in it and set a color appropriate for lent. My issue is that I have 7-360Q's acquired on the used...
