A few years back I posted a thread trying to compare the types of available UV Light. I am interested in seeing if anyone has updated input into LED technology now that 4 years have gone by since that thread and the LED's are more powerful.More to the point : Aside from the pro level...

Anyone have a Broken Light Jockey Dongle they want to sell?

is there a hardware/midi controller or a proprietary controller that works with LJ? I am very familiar with LJ and have programmed numerous shows for clients on it. It's actually the only software package I have worked with however, I am a fan of real buttons and faders and joysticks over a...

anyone have a preference to a console geared towards nightclub dance lighting? I'm looking for a solution for club installs that operates such as the NSI MLC-16 but with more current features (such as effects engines and USB or better removable storage). In 10 years, and out of a broad range...

DOes anyone know if there is a good primer on Lamp Types (ie : Discharge, Halogen, Vapor, etc..etc...), how they work, their pros and cons and if possible, pictures next to each type ?? I assume there must be some written material (aside form buying a paperback book) to print out to give quick...

Thanks all. some good options here to look into. I forgot to mention that this was for a one-off party that lasted about 3 hours so I wasnt looking for anything more than a quick 1 minute set up on each fixture (aside from running the power above the ceiling tiles). It was four 1 pound par...

Hello, Does anyone know of a readily available attachment that will let you attach a par can (par56 in this case) to a drop ceiling??? I don't want to put a hole in the ceiling tile. They make a bunch of models for video/film lighting that scissor onto the drop ceiling frame but I can't...

Does anyone have any experience with the newer Antari HZ-500 hazer? Just looking for some feedback as to quality & performance. It's up there in price with some of the other top line standards so I would hope it's reviews are good. One thing I have noticed, most pro hazers do not list...

That helps in the comparison between those two for sure but still, the problem still within is the fact that the Chavet fixture is using 1/8 or 1/4 watt led's? Doesnt say on the spec but from the looks of it, i'd guess 1/8 watt? The Elation uses 1 watt LED's. Massive difference. 3 watt...

After reading deeply into the Black Light thread and slightly frying my brain, I come back with this question. Has anyone used the Elation Design 36UV? I am wondering how these stack up to traditional black lights suchs as the Wildfires, Altmans, UV Cannon, UV wash, etc.... basically any...

An NSI MLC-16 is a good moving light board all though it has little quirks here and there as do most boards in the lower prices. With a disk drive, it is about $1200 so I dont know if that counts for being on a budget but compared to real deal lighting consoles, 1K is a drop in the hat...

thanks for all the help. Between all the resources I have thanks to good insight from all of you, I should never be stumped by a client question. Phil has noted that some of you guys/gals are quite the superstars of real world production. I have a lot of knowledge to share from within my...

does anyone know other forums like this one that deal with professional lighting designers and top level gear? I want to bookmark as many lighting forum resources as possible but I don't want the ones that are small. I'm looking for the ones that are frequented by the industry leaders who tour...

I have not heard back from the techs yet at Elation but I addressed two issues with the fairly expensive (out of the lower end boards) Show Designer 3 Console. I wanted to see if anyone else has this console and if they have run into similar issues when it comes to "on the fly" playback. Can...

I spoke to my rep today and he kind of leaned towards trying to sell the lights instead of returning them (of course) and that Elation doesn't want to go shipping $3000 fixtures around the country for fun. Understandable, all though I felt a bit rushed by him offering a discount that expired on...
