1st test is curing. I need to make 12 eyes. I chose to use a 12V COB LED I will run with a NiCAD rechargable pack and a switch. Although I might also use my RC4 dimmer to run it on our stage but when we rent the costumes out i will use the switch. Ill have to see how the COB likes the dimmer...

This is a great idea. Regarding the black olive, I suppose a fake one is best for this costume piece to live of forever.

I can certainly wash the area with UV. I wonder how the painted eyes would glow in the scenes where I have brighter stage lighting at the same time. Ill test it.

Thank you I will investigate

I am looking for a good way to make the eyes in a wolf costume glow bright yellow. I am thinking the eyes could be a glass type material lit from the inside.

I used an RGB Geyser when I did Aladdin.

Hooked up to a water faucet like a normal sprinkler system. It seems the sprinkler valves are not an instant off but must have some diaphram inside that closes as the pressure subsides. Takes 4 seconds or so which soaked the first several rows of seats.

I attempted the sprinkler system method with a 24VAC sprinkler valve from a place like Home depot. The water would instantly spray when power was switched on however the valve took way to long to shut off. sounds like the air canon approach would be be the way to go in the future. For my...

No I have not seen that. Sounds ellaborate.

This is how i use my follow spot using a Source four. Just get a dimmer that has a rating for it. I have a 1000Watt dimmer on mine

We are doing a production where someone will fall into water. i want to spray water at the front row. What is a good way to accomplish this. I would like to DMX control it.

You are getting lots of responses here. You can use either. I have some Elation 6 Par 300's and i see no performance differences. My understanding is that even though there are 5 pins they don't use 5 pins. the extra pins are for some functionality that was to come in the future??

I would consider renting mics and receivers. How long is your run? Just one weekend?

LOLWell I do run DC quite a bit using RC4 wireless DMX but I hear you.
