Oh, thank-you! That makes sense. Each dimmer will have a 450w fresnel and two practicals, I just hadn't added the fresnels yet. I can sleep easier. Thanks!

I have two-wire practicals that I am plugging into portable dimmers. They flicker unless they are up at 80%. I am so tired right now and up against an opening this Thursday. What is the issue and how do I fix it?

Hi All,I'm updating a course which primarily focuses on Lighting and Sound and looking for a textbook. I have a few I'm reviewing, but finding one would be the ideal choice for college students.Ideally I'd like it to cover the history of both fields, design theory, electrics and signal...

Designing "Guys and Dolls" for the spring and I am looking at an inexpensive way to create neon signage. I'm wondering if anyone out there has ever used an adapter/inverter to run EL wire through the dimmer system, so each sign can have it's own channel and I don't have to rely on run-crew and...

I am doing a quote for a local Non-Profit who needs Nutcracker growing tree and was wondering about passing along the extra cost of the Rosco Artist's Choice for the paint. It will be used about 5 times per year, and will store in a box accordian style. I'm not sure about the temperature they...

Just joining the CB community as I have just been offered a TD position with Fresno Pacific University. There is a lot I know, but soooooooooo much more that I don't and it will be great to have access to a collaborative community. I have a long history of teaching in the public high schools...
