I don't agree, it's not so great when someone wants a simple answer to a simple question. It creates a lot of confusion is my point which you obviously don't get.

This is why I don't come to this forum much anymore. You ask a simple question and it turns into two pages of rambling posts of confusion by certain theatre gods about a very simple question. Yes, you absolutely can do it, not an issue. Make sure you get a quality UL approved connector and your...

I think you can still get parts for the 360Q, just do a Google search for "Altman 360Q Parts", tons of current options come up.

What do you guys think about the Ultratec Radiance Hazer compared to the AmHaze II or Whisper. I own the Ultratec but am wondering if it is worth switching, I like the built in road case, direction control and the fact it has a menu system which is lacking on the Ultratec.

Going with a software option at this time might be your best option until you can source a board with a surface if that is what your really after. You can go with Chamsys which will give you 1 universe out of a USB dongle or use an artnet node such as DMX King and get up to 64 universes for...

It's like any electronic device that has a sartup sequence, turn it off for a few seconds and turn it back on to make sure the processor is fully powered down, not a big deal. If it has a lamp that requires a cool down to re-strike, then you might as well leave it off for 5 to 10 minutes as it...

Could it be for hoisting a fixture? Looks like a small hole to shove a saftey cable loop through if thats what it's for.

I love my R2 washes as well, not to mention the zone control is very handy for certain things, something you can't get with a COB fixture.

I'm a big Chamsys guy, the wing is $2,800 with two direct DMX universes or 64 using artnet, etc. I built a small setup I take around with me, I like not having a full console this way I can go as small or as large as I need. The software is very light, runs on anything without issues, the GUI is...

I'm not sure if I am reading this correct, but are the fixtures power coming off a dimmer? If that is the case, that would be the first thing you need to correct.

I appreciate the info. However when most of these general business insurance companies ask what it is you do, I get the "we don't have a plan for that type of business" answer. A lighting designer is one thing, but actually doing technical work or supplying equipment for a show seems to be an...

Selling a pair of Studio Spot 575 fixtures. These have all stock gobos and work fine. They have road rash and will need some TLC, one has no handles. They will need new front covers as the ones I have are damaged, I will give them to you if you think you can figure out something. I believe the...

I have done small projects for several years and have always gotten around insurance issues, not that it was the best thing. Now I find myself renting from other vendors when I need extra gear and they are all requiring liability as well as inland marine. I actually would really prefer to have...

This is what it says in the begning of the manual for the features: Two Gobos Wheels: o Rotating gobo wheel with 7 rotating gobos plus open, all gobos can be easily replaceable and gobo indexing o Static gobo wheel with 7 static gobos plus open with different speed gobo shaking and gobo indexing...
