    ST adapters

    Go and get replacement edison plugs and then get replacement twist lock plugs and an extention chord. cut the extention chord into 1.5 foot long peices. then wire on one end the edison replacement plug and on the other the twist lock.... there you go your custom adaptor... make sure before using...

    fuses blow

    Just what ever you do dont replace it with a .22 bullet... there pretty much the same size.. i say this because i have heard stories that if the surge happens again the bullet will shoot... probably causing injury

    Lighting a Forest Setting

    make sure that if you use many different Gobos that you use the same style and the same view. like the difference between a spooky forest gobo and like a park setting Gobo, make sure they are the smae theme. mixing them gives you an unnatural look.

    A question for those lighting designers out there...

    any color that looks good.... something dark will look like instead of being a spot its a positioned light and too light of a color will give the actor a ghost like look... try some out and pick what works best, i know that in our spot lights we have two ambers(so you can adjust the darkness)...

    Very minimal system

    use a amber color... it gives it a good light but will not make the performers look like ghosts
