    Looking for Meat Racks

    I'm looking to buy 2-4 Meat Racks to be used in the design of an upcoming production. Does anyone have a couple they'd be willing to sell or know of a good place to purchase some?Thanks.

    Lumiere's Hand Torches?

    Multiple Gobos, single fixture, beam splitter

    Problem with LED mini strips

    Hello. I just recently purchased some Chauvet LED mini strips. To my dismay, they periodically "flash" brighter during scenes when they are set at a static color. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue before? I have ordered a DMX terminator for the last unit in hopes that will solve the...
