Hello!We're looking to replace our HES Colorpro FX units due to their consistent malfunctions (they're way past warranty unfortunately)Does anyone know of any suitable LED replacement unit? If not, can anyone recommend a good, reliable star curtain that twinkles?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! A show im designing thats coming up is in desperate need of more lights and the only things we have left are this pitiful altman 1KLs that are shutterless! I've been hunting these shutters down for a while now!

I'm personally a bigger fan of twist lock, when your highschool cheaps out on cables runs that require heavy tension on the dimmer packs, having stagepin connectors falling out isn't fantastic by any means. I just find twist locks to be much safer, and they save TONS of money instead of having...

Hi all! I've got this peculiar issue with my wybron coloram 2 scrolling unit. What I am trying to do is have the coloram PSU set so I can control the color on the strip inside the scoller with a fader on the lighting console (this is normal right?), then have our normal dimmer pack chained...

My school is cheap. very cheap. for every purchase we make we have to go through this whole long crazy ordeal to get the adequate funds for it.So, I was wondering, is it possible to just solder connectors on to speaker wire? (i understand some things need to be shielded and such, but im not...

thanks for the input guys! and thanks for the heads up Les, that will definately help me in the future, I've had to work with the DMX address switches before... they aren't the greatest.I'll try what you guys said tomorrow and get back to you.

Hi guys, I'm the head tech guy at my highschool (I apologize I'm not professional, please bear with me if I don't know terminology, but im pretty solid on the basics)So here is my issue, I have a variety show coming up, that i am designing the lights for. My school had 3 Strand CD-80 dimmer...
