    LED and incandescent mixed?

    Wait, so you're powering a relay with a dimmer, and then turning power on/off to your fixtures by switching the relay??? This isn't gaining you anything, other than an added point of failure. What kind of dimmers do you have?

    Hey ETC, Don't kick us when we are down

    So I've got to ask something nobody thus far has: How often do you get a rider that is THAT specific about console AND code? If they care THAT much they'd carry a desk. If not, you can rent a board for that ONE show in the next three years that NEEDS the new version. I can't imagine any...

    Fixtures on Electrics

    There is absolutely no "standard"....please keep in mind your parameters given are so incredibly vague as to be almost useless to getting the real answers you want. Is this a plot for a school that doesn't typically change (my presumption from how you asked the question)? Does the physical...

    Controlling LED strip with dmx

    Can you be more specific? What do you mean by 'strip lights?' ColorForce Strips? LED Tape?

    Belt Lighting Wiring Question

    That is NOT true of the product being discussed. 4 hot legs, one 'common' (if wired for AC this is the neutral).

    Printed Gel??

    Printing the cut pattern on the gel (customer specified)?

    Design Another hypothetical for all the lighting guys

    Type/programming of facility? Who operates it?I will say I _hate_ floor pockets. They're never where you need them to be/have the right combination of circuits/etc. Can't put a floor over them (dance or show deck) and still use them.

    Salary Question

    Hey there....That's low, but sadly not out of the range of what's paid for a lot of the non-union work in town. PM me.

    Dimmer Beach & Racks Cable Management

    One of the best solutions I've seen: threaded pipe flanges welded to the top of the dimmer racks (one on top of each corner). Screw in pipe and add a couple cross pieces. Worked great for that production.

    Control/Dimming No Company Switch

    If you can either find enough wall circuits, or if you can change a bunch of dimmer cards to non-dims/constant current then you can use these: http://www.quick220.com/-A220-20L.html

    Martin Atomic 3000

    If one wanted to change the lamp holder, what part/part number would one request from a company such as Barbizon?

    Opto-splitter and ETC Sensor not playing nice

    What kind of control card does this dimmer pack have? MPE (the one with rotary dials to set the address), CEM (lots of buttons), CEM + (a couple buttons: up, down, "check", etc), or newer?

    Newest addition

    Yesterday 11/9/2013 at 1:49PM, my better half Elizabeth Coco and I welcomed Grace Louise McCarthy to the world. 8lbs 6oz and 20". Other than sleep deprivation and the usual discomfort, mom and dad are great. The junior member of the team is sleeping like a champ. The world is a much more...
