    Alec Baldwin involved in accidental shooting death on set of "Rust"

    Article is paywalled so not able to read it. But do we know if Mr. Baldwin was indicted as an Actor or a Producer. As stated earlier in the thread they are 2 things that can mean 2 very different things. Though it's also VERY possible that they aren't taking any of that into account and just...

    E26 Dimmable LED Bulb

    You can make your own, and I'm sure find them around the Christmas sites, it's just a resister across the two terminals. Here's a Wiki post about them: https://www.controlbooth.com/wiki/snubber

    E26 Dimmable LED Bulb

    ETC makes a dimmable bulb, I have not seen them in person but I know people who speak highly of them. They also say they are expensive lol. https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Architectural-Fixtures/ArcLamp/Features.aspx

    Permanent Outdoor Lighting for Sculpture

    For something like this I have used Mosaic in the past. When dealing with Building Electricians it's probably something they already know about too as it's used for Architectural Lighting all the time. The units aren't too expensive either. And it's made by ETC (kinda) so very compatible with...

    Alec Baldwin involved in accidental shooting death on set of "Rust"

    The press is obviously spinning it as the actor Alec Baldwin but I do wonder if the court filings are separating the actor from the producer. In reality he's the same person but it does make sense to sperate the roles he played to limit the liability of actors but still to make sure the...

    Disneys Villains Grove Lighting Setup?

    Most likely a Bliss Lights (https://blisslights.com/) in a custom enclosure. I've used them at the parks before, usually we use the older security camera housings but those are getting harder to find so I assume someone just took some steel and built an enclosure.

    First Aid kits

    Yeah an amusement park I used to work at had a "weird" rule for Aspirin and other pain killers. They could sell it to you in the gift shop but they were not allowed to hand it to you in first aid, even by the registered nurses they had working. But they also had a container of pre-packed dosages...

    Batteries worn on performers bodies?

    Looking for LEDs and some video products onboard a person. I'm don't have a full power draw yet (still waiting on some parts to come in) but it would need to be able to run at least 4-6 hours on a charge so a bunch of AAs wouldn't work. Our safety team says they can't have higher capacity LiPo...

    Batteries worn on performers bodies?

    I remember a few years ago seeing a rechargeable battery product that was designed and listed to be worn on a performers body. It had a bunch of special safety features, mounting options, and I'm pretty sure they went as far as getting it UL listed to be worn on a persons body. But I can't seem...

    Lighting Fixture distance to Fire Sprinkler

    Here we have a general 18" rule around sprinkler heads. Something to keep in mind is it's not just about setting them off by accident but also that if they do go off because of a fire they need room to spread the water to greatest affect. If something is in the way, say some lights, then they...

    Design I need to run 10 cables up a cinder block wall. How can I mount them?

    If permanent (or temporary but may come up again) I would look at UniStrut. A bit more expensive but more robust and gives you other attachment options later.

    Music Licensing Services

    Ride nights where we the ops didn't understand that you couldn't just tape the talk button down on the ride mic and play your phone through it. And us having to keep shutting them down. I always found it so annoying that they wouldn't just give us heads up of at least a day and we could have had...

    Cable Pass-Thru For Walls

    Ohh I like those ones for Fire Rated walls. In general we just head to Lowe's and pick up some PVC pipe and push it through the walls. Exterior walls usually end up using metal pipe just because they like that better. Try to get threaded pipe so you can thread a cap on when not in use. We...

    Flat Transporting Crate or Cart Options

    Building a Crate with internal framework out of 2x4 that supports the flats is easy enough. You can go full out and put a sheet of ply between the flats also which will keep them from touching during transport but that may/may not be necessary.Take a look at this page...
