Been busy with school and show prep... I haven't been around here for a bit.This was not my idea and I was always a bit skeptical, hence sourcing community knowledge so I could give the crew that was proposing it feedback. I'm never going to learn any younger, and when I give feedback and make...

We are finalizing the designs for a large robotics competition held in several weeks at our University's main auditorium/arena. We hang two 22' long black curtains to divide the arena floor in half, essentially. Usually, the curtains are tie-lined to a 50' span of 20.5" box truss. This year, the...

Thanks all for the great advice and experience. I made the change in requiring them last week and have gotten great adoption from a majority of our club. People have commented how it's saved them from knocking their head on truss and other things many times in just the last week they've been...

Do you require hard hats in your personnel lifts/MEWPs? I am reviewing some of our safety policies and trying to make a decision on whether to require hard hats for those operating or riding as a passenger in our scissor lifts. Leaning towards requiring them, but couldn't find lots of info on...

We have an Elation eNode4 that, when connected to our ETC Gio with ArtNet, strobes on all 512 channels. Change intensity or what have you and it still strobes. Unplug the Ethercon carrying the ArtNet and the strobing stops, so it's clearly dependent on receiving data from the console for this...

ColorBlaze 48/72 are older and you would have to purchase used, but are excellent fixtures that I believe would fit your use case. We own many ColorKinetics products, including 8 ColorBlazes, and they have survived a hard life with us with no issues...

Something like this (https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40070378/) or really any of the 3M double-sided bonding tapes will probably get it done for you.- Nick

We have many ColorBlast 12TR fixtures. A good number of them "ghost" - i.e. dimly light up certain colors (mainly green, some blue) when they are supposed to be off/out. This issue follows the fixture and is not tied to any particular controller (we have 5). PCK had no useful troubleshooting...

Well, I'll be darned. Could not get the issue to reproduce. Back into service, until it happens again...Thanks for all the advice nontheless.- Nick

Thanks all for the advice. Heard back from Lep today as well. Going to try some of these suggestions tonight and will keep you posted.- Nick

We're having a strange issue with a 36-channel custom Lep dimmer rack we have. I've sent a few emails to Lep but haven't heard anything back yet. The rack is well out of warranty (2006 build date) but I'm still interested in getting it fixed.The rack has a DMX in and a DMX passthrough. All the...

We have a CS20AV. Being honest, compared to anything Eos it seems like a children's toy. Wouldn't want to use it for anything but smaller events, and probably wouldn't have it as my console of choice in any sort of permanent venue on the level you described. It also does not have an iPad app, so...

Well, not quite...

Sounds exactly what we designed and built our website (the "LNLDB") to do. It does a couple neat things - maintains user lists for members of the club and clients and it manages events from the initial request for service all the way to sending the final invoice, among many other varied tasks...

Jon, nice to have you here.We've had our Strand 200 for many years, and recently gave it a refurbishment and cleaning last year. It has served us well and still makes the occasional appearance.More competition in the industry is always super valuable. You're doing the right thing and it...
