    Control/Dimming LED Pars and traditional PARs

    Hi Sharyn, You mention the amperage on the 415s, but according to the user manual they say each channel can support up to 5 amps or 600 W per channel. Thoughts? I really don't understand this part. I checked my PARs are 500W, the source fours are 575W. Thanks, Dean

    Scrim, Cyc, Rear Projection

    Wow, thanks guys. This is the first time I've used a Theatrical Forum and it was well worth it. Now my head is really spinning. :) First, thanks for the rear projection answers. I definitely will not be going that way for a couple reasons that you guys mentioned: 1) Cost and 2) I only have...
