    LED Tape - getting what I pay for?

    Ive used the supernight stuff and stuff from Hitlights. Expect to repair 1 section per 2 rolls, depending on how you treat it. When you have a bad section I've usually been able to repair it by re-soldering the individual LED's in that section, but worst case cut out the bad and stitch the...

    LED Tape Specific Plug

    I've used 6 pin XLR, but I use the non switchcraft style so dmx cannot be plugged into it by accident. 4 pins for individual channels, 2 pins for common. Rated at 7.5a per pin. Most of the LED dimmers I use are common +, dimmed -. I also use a 2-4 pin JST connectors for smaller applications...

    In search of something like Neoflex

    Had neo-flex rgb. Hated it. Finicky, smelled horribly of manufacturing chemicals, bad color rendering, failure prone. Neo-Neon is the epitome of a chinese maufacturer. Inconsistent lots, design changes with no documentation. Will not support you. Had multiple bad out of box fixtures that...

    Yes. Double yes. Talent should never be aware there is an off switch. Mic gets batteried, checked, and locked before it gets pinned. If it's a handheld, it's locked before going in their hand.
