It's coming out of 4Wall. I'm about to email to ask them if they have particulars about these but I know they're a big company and may not track all that info.

I know the R2's are brighter but I'm not sure how many hours are on the used batch I'm looking at. From what I've read both lights are well regarded and people that purchase them are usually very happy.I guess my question is should I risk the condition of the R2's and possible hours on them...

Yeah it'll rotate. Also side note I've been having a lot better looks with the medium or lower spreads for the lenses. A wide oval or round diffuses the light so much it just doesn't look very good. I suppose it's always about whatever the situation needs but I feel like going forward I'm going...

Going to second the use of Magic Sheets. Take a while to program but once you have it done it's going to change your world as far as ease of use. You can have multiple ones too depending on needs.Another thing I've been using because I'd love to have physical encoders but alas it's not going...

I'll second getting stuff from Rod from bodymics. I've been pretty happy with my orders there and the mic pack holders he sells are pretty great too. We have been slowly replacing our stock of homemade cloth with his much nicer neoprene stock.

The Osram Kreios is a pretty awesome looking light and I'm sure is on the top end of the LED flood/work spectrum but the 250-300 dollar price tag on them is pretty steep. Has anyone been playing with some of the cheaper models that they would recommend? I know you get what you pay for and all...

I'll probably get the external anyway just as a extra thing to backup the show with and also I'm curious myself how it'll really do. I think at the very least I'll try a couple of rehearsals with video getting pulled off it and see what happens. In my mind I thought 7200 was going to cause some...

A smaller theatre I work with has a lovely iMac 5k that has the high end specs that had been refurbished so we got it on the cheap. The only flaw with it is it carries a regular 7200 RPM hard drive. I'm already aware of how difficult it is to open a new iMac ("moderate" actually) so I was...

Hey there friends. I was wondering if anyone had knowledge of some of the freeware light programs that are RDM capable. Long story short we have a AMX worklight control panel that only controls the first 200 DMX channels in our system. Our LED stuff is past 200 which I would like to use in a...
