In the market for some moving lights. These wont be toured and only in a theatrical environment. Here are the few lights that caught my eye:ADJ Focus Profile (looks the best & brightest for what I'd like to do but herd some reliability issues with the brand, and some their moving lights and...

While I'm still pushing for an upgrade, what else could go wrong with an ENR rack besides the actual controller modules? I know there are "blades" (not sure if thats the proper term) inside the rack that the dimmer modules connect to, but I think thats pretty much it. I know constant power cards...

Wow, I just did a clean out with a shop vac of the Colortran ENR and this thing is just built tough. Seems like mostly everything is up and working. I'll let a few lights burn a little to see what I'm working with. There still is some damage but at least it will buy me time to make a decision on...

Sorry you are correct, its the ENR series, our system has 192 dimmers total. Our surplus of parts actually came from goknight and a really cool guru out in Canada.Our saving grace rightnow happens to be that we have a decent amount of LED fixtures to get by with for now for stage. The idea...

In Florida, we just finished having catastrophic flooding, and unfortunately water got into the units. It was making lights begin to flicker on, on its own. The Colortrans D192 ENR has been with us since 96 and hasn't shown any sign of kicking the bucket up until possibly now. Armed surplus...

Good day,I have 2 Stage Maker SR01 1/4 ton Motors, no controller or pickle yet, had some questions about power.The label on the hoist reads 208V and then 115v 60hz 3 phase. I would like to know if I can use this motor off of a normal outlet supplying 115v if I made my turnarounds for the...

So I'm learning the Hog4 coming from ETC ION.Is there a way to do a light check sequentially, to help build a look without the light turning off as I go to the next light?Currently I'm using the highlight feature was indeed highlights the lights sequentially, but I can't set values for each...

So I've decided to get qoutes on the Lustr2, Altman, and a few others. I'm having better conversations with Reps from Chauvet to clean up some past dilemmas, and if it goes well, I may consider their offerings as well again. I've seen a 910fc and to be honest, those would do a perfect job and I...

ETC luster seems pretty good, Altman looks pretty expensive but if it is well built and last long, I'll consider going that route

Without going to far off topic, ill give my vent about Chauvet (feel free to skip to next post about actual lighting). 2017 my venue bought 8 R2 spots, 8 R2 wash and a Amphaze. Amphaze died 3months later with no serviceable parts and was discontinued. I asked if they could sell me a B-stock of a...

Fans are fine...I expect that will help extend the life of the light. Indoor is cool

So lighting tech is always changing, I want some options to demo some led lekos. Truth is, I'm tired of cutting jels and I want something that can get me some what close. I demoed chauvet, but while they look great, as a company they've really been letting me down, (way too many failed products...

Sorry forgot to mention that I was only doing a top row, no ground row. Does the B2805FC punch harder than the B1965? I was in the demo room and saw the 1965 and had wished that it was a little stronger vertically for my taste, this was almost 3 years back I believe though.

Hello fellow booth guys. Need help choosing some CYC lights. CYC area is 25ft tall by 36 ft wide. I saw the Chroma Q color force 2 and I loved the performance but not the price. I am wondering what can give me close to the same light output performance without destroying the whole budget for...

Thanks All! Gonna give ETC and Touche control a shout to see which works better for me.Thanks for arduino idea, but I'm gonna pass, as I don't want to have future employees tide down with coding incase something happens even though its open sourced
