Unfortunately, I can't just retire them. I am a freelance designer coming in and designing one show. This is what I have to work with. I might be able to go 750w, but I am also working with an ancient lever set up. The kind where you push the big lever up to turn on the lights and can turn the...

I have some old Kleigl ellipsoidals that still work but I need new lamps for them. They take the T14 medium bi-post 500w lamps. I know those have been discontinued for a while. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any other lamp that would work in that fixture instead. I will try to post...

The only placard that is on it says Kliegl Bros. Shop 22 L.I.C. N.Y. Made in the USA. I have pictures that I have to download when I get home. I will post those latter.

I have a Strand 520i board. Most of the time I am trying to convert from an Obsession lighting console to the Strand console. I can get Showport to convert a show into the Ascii format but what I need is to go from Obsession into Strand. I can convert an ETC file into an Acsii file but that is...
