Thanks for the input John and Tim. I've been a customer of Mike's many times and think I bought some dimmers from Mr. Lynch back in the day.I agree that running a storefront isn't particularly viable and that being a dealer for installs is where the profit is to be had. I posted this...

Hi all,Lately I've been tossing around the idea of becoming a dealer for a handful of brands that I commonly buy/rent/use. I own my company (a real LLC), and while sales wouldn't be my primary focus I'm sure I can pick up a few leads here and there in addition to myself. I know that brands...

Thanks Alan! I really appreciate the insight. I never really thought that there'd be such a difference in product demand between the two markets, but I'm sure your sales numbers can certainly guide product distribution much better than someone like me just browsing the new products page! In...

Thanks Ronald - that was my thought too but I just find it odd. I'd think that especially for DJs the United States represents a significant market share and thus it wouldn't make sense to exclude them intentionally. The same would go for the Europe market. I'd never seen this before for such...

Greetings,I couldn’t help but notice while browsing Chauvet DJ’s newest offerings that many items are tagged as US or Europe only. Can anyone comment about this? It’s the first I’ve seen of this type of distribution. As a lover of effects lights I’m happy to see new products in this...

Thanks for the input and conversation! Apologies for not getting back to this post sooner - it's been a busy past two weeks for me and I'm not a frequent flier on this board.Yes, Cobalt is definitely underrated. I wish it had taken off more in the USA prior to ETC buying Hog 4, but I know...

That’s correct Jay. I should have clarified that it’d be an either/or situation.While the primary purpose would be to run Nomad it’d be nice to have the backup capability should my MacBook Pros that usually handle audio duty be out of service or need to work elsewhere. That, or I run...

Greetings, I cross-posted this over in the ETC Community but wanted to ask here too since I know there's a decent number of us ETC users lurking around...I'm in the process of setting up a new system to run Cobalt via Nomad and wanted to get a sanity check on this to make sure I'm not missing...

I agree with James, and to elaborate on my prior post while waiting for details from the OP, a single moving light is not going to be impressive. Yes, there’s always the artistic angle to lighting design, but a single moving light just won’t be very useful regardless of how versatile it is...

Just out of curiosity, what is it that you plan to do with a single moving light? While the Axiom is an outstanding fixture, I’m not sure it’s the right choice for your application. Sharing more details about the proposed uses will definitely help.

Yeah, I might just know a thing or two about NASA thanks to my day job ;)

That's pretty much the conclusion that I'm coming to (and I understand the reasoning). I appreciate the input as well Chris and Bill. I took a look at Crown and Vestil, but it's the same story as Genie and Sumner - either all-manual or too heavy. I really like the Genie GL12 and is what I'll...

Hi all, I'm curious what's out there in terms of motorized material lifts and what anyone's given preference is. I'm looking for low capacity (sub-500 pounds) with a lifting height of at least 10 feet, though preferably in the 12-14ft range. Ideally both the lifting and driving will be...

Thanks Ford, I was hoping you’d chime in! Yeah, I think it goes without saying that I’d definitely be voiding my warranty by attempting this! Just reading through the literature, it looks so tempting to be able to snip across the three pads as indicated when cutting the tape down to size and...

Greetings! I’m working on a project where I’d like to line trussing with LED tape. I’m interested in the Chauvet Epix Flex product due to its tolerance of wet location use along with nearly plug-and-play use. I noticed that the manual states that while the product can be cut, it cannot be...
