    Anyone interested in 5-channel LED tape?

    I developed an LED package that could be put onto LED tape but then did not pursue any farther. My time got sucked up by other businesses.

    Designation of Filters for Theatrical Lighting - 1938 DB Judd

    This year I read a paper published in 1938 regarding how gels are named and numbered. In the year prior members of the Illuminating Engineering Society (you've heard of them, the IES founded in 1905 in NYC) had approached the esteemed color researcher DB Judd to solve the problem of how to name...

    Anyone interested in 5-channel LED tape?

    It wouldn't be the first time I've specified some new LEDs ;)I do have a few companies in mind that I've started this conversation with but it's going slowly as I have gotten bogged down in other work and for the particular project that was interested in this we decided to go in a different...

    Anyone interested in 5-channel LED tape?

    The "/" is indicating "or." I haven't quite decided on the final color scheme yet. Need to look at some LED specs and do some math to get the choice right. I'm thinking 24V, that seems to be the preference of the MFR I'm currently planning on working with.I'll be sure to share a project...

    ETC S4WRD Color?

    There are a lot of people in the CPWG who are currently working on just such ideas. Membership is open to all who are affected by the work of the CPWG. (That's everyone who is reading this forum ;) )

    ETC Selador VIVID/R Refurbs?

    I could see calibration becoming a dealer service or what ever the system is for other techs to be certified by ETC. It's a bit hard for me to imagine a random org doing it themselves with a rented machine though.

    Anyone interested in 5-channel LED tape?

    I am thinking about having some LED tape / strips custom made with RGB Cyan and Lime / Amber LEDs. I haven't decided on the exact final LED selection yet but it could be interesting to a few people looking for wall washes or some color critical application. The expanded gamut in the cyan region...

    ETC Selador VIVID/R Refurbs?

    I think that a refurb with a new LED PCB should be doable. I've taken apart some of those and I don't think it looks impossible. There is a needed calibration step though. I wonder if ETC TS will start offering this as a standard product. I imagine there are thousands of units that people want...

    Hacking LEE Filters - What Pigments are Inside?

    Yes I did make all of those animations. 99% of my code i share freely with my peers. This one, not so much. it's a lot of work to make them and I want my name on them. However, if you have some target fixture in mind. I can make one for you, PM for details.

    Hacking LEE Filters - What Pigments are Inside?

    Yes. Anyone aspiring to be a lighting designer today must fundamentally understand that there is more than one blue, what that means, and how to access them with the consoles and fixtures that they have. Frankly, every art teacher or theater teacher I have ever personally learned from did not...

    PETER CLARK AND RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL

    The basement below RCMH is a maze. I've been told there was a way to get to blue bottle from the tech server room but I never figured it out.

    ETC ColorSource Spot Jr Announced

    I really like the direction that ETC's industrial design is going the last few years. And I really like the color source line. Looks like another great product.

    Hacking LEE Filters - What Pigments are Inside?

    I'd love to take a look at that! I have a Rosco book and can do uv-included uv-excluded measurements to see if there is anything there. Just need the gel number. And my lab to open up.

    Hacking LEE Filters - What Pigments are Inside?

    I've thought about that some. It's interesting. However, I would guess that the gels you are referring to are just saturated in some hue. most colors are not super saturated in the world, especially compared to the objects around us and the white point.The reason I don't think that...

    Hacking LEE Filters - What Pigments are Inside?

    Hi all, I finally got around to writing up a project I did a few months ago. I wondered if I could apply spectral analysis techniques on the transmission curves of gels to figure out what pigments get mixed together. I originally wanted to measure Rosco gels on the spectrophotometer at my lab...
