Thanks all...

A Theatre company I work with just picked up 4 Chroma-Q M5+ scrollers. We initially got them to use as a douser for some UV pars we were using in a show. Now I'd like to task them for their intended purpose. Unfortunately I can't find 17" gel stings. Everywhere I read, including here, says...

The reason I can't go with dimmers is because this unit would be replacing a switch board (of sorts) that currently controls two relay panels, one 12 relay panel that is about 40 years old (at least) and another that is even older.As for some of the other company suggestions, it all comes down...

For a few years now I've been looking for a DMX controlled 24 channel dry contact unit to replace a manual (home brew cir. 1975+-) lighting switch board.Until now all the solutions I found were $1000+, way more than the $0 budget of a volunteer technician / lighting Dir.I came accross...

I don't think LED-rgb and low budget really go together when talking about replacing conventional sanctuary lighting with LED. Anyway... As for ideas, a few years ago we went with 70 Philips Color Kinetics, 35 a side bounced off the white ceiling. It's works well, but did take a little...

I was thinking, at least in a marina he'd be close to water when they go up in flames... :twisted:

+1 for the Pentel Energel, I use the 0.7 myself. Very smooth, no smudge, relatively cheap when bought in bulk.

This is very true, however with most up to date computers you shouldn't see any problems. I've been using the Enttec Open USB for 3 years now with my laptop without any issues. That being said I do plan on spending the extra money for the pro for the insurance of having the current state...

I've been in many venues (mostly schools) where the HVAC is not separate with-in the Theatre. Needless to say 30 seconds or so after using a smoke machine the fire alarms start.In one facility (which actually had a separate HVAC system in the Theatre) we set off the alarm during the first...

There have been several posts saying the LED wouldn't be bright enough. Our church recently went to the Philips Color Kinetics lighting in an installation that has the light bouncing off the celing and even then it's plenty bright even in when just using one of the three colours.

On that same note, you have to remember to turn the lamp on.Lamp on Value: 228-237 %: 89 - 93

I work in two theatres that don't have CYCs, who have not only put up a plain white wall but have incorperated a crossover too... The wall works pretty good with the right finishing. That being said I still prefer a CYC myself...

I've been using a Gerber for about 10 years now... after going through two Leatherman (broke one handle and the jaws of the other). I just find the Gerber has better tools on it, Fiskas scissors, Ledgendary Blade. I also have the two different Swiss Army tools, they are well built I just don't...

I have to go with the majority with this one... it's a BIG NO NO... Even way back in my high school day there was no way this practice would be tolerated. As many have already said, it's just no the professional thing to do.One group I'm with has pictures of all the cast AND crew in the...
