Hello!Just had my design budget slashed due to a set overspend and so now I'm on the hunt for 9 budget LED pars that will take DMX control.I need them ideally to be RGBW, have strobe capability and be under £150/$180. If they had custom accessories like hats or barn doors that would also...

We do a lot of LED tape install on our various sets, and we always question the best way to attach the tape to the scenery/prop/etc. We've used runs of velcro, packing tape over it and stapled down, hot glue, double sided tape, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting about. A lot of the time we are...

I am in the market for some static LED wash lights for our theater. My grid is at 13'8" and looking to cover an area approx. 30' wide with 5 fixtures. I think I need something between 20-30 degrees. I am hoping you all might have some thoughts on what will provide the brightest most vivid...

Has anyone compared these fixtures? Any thoughts? I was thinking about purchasing a mix of them as I hear the Ovations have more saturated colors. I was thinking Ovations for high sides, back lighting, some front lighting and for the stage wash Source Four Series 2 Lustrs.I know buying...

Hey Folks, I am mounting the show Crimes of the Heart and have just been told (the week before tech) that open flame will not be allowed without a fire-watch from the local FD (I should have known this, but hoped the College had an internal training). The scene "requires" that 30 birthday...

Alright, we've decided to go with LED Source Fours or a similar fixture. Is there anything we should pay attention to?Series 2 Lustr or Daylight HD or Tungsten HD or a mix?Any other Source Four LED alternatives?Should we swap out existing lens tubes? How many of each degree of tubes is...

A local venue I work at has pondered replacing all ERS (front lighting) Lekos (currently conventional Source Fours) with LED Moving Heads. Obviously doing a 1:1 swap would be insanely expensive. But if we replaced our stage wash with say 4 or 5 Ayrton Ghiblis on each batten.They believe that...

Hello; anyone out there ever tried replacing MR16's (EYC) in their L&E Mini-Strips? We're currently researching the best way to get life out of the units - the sockets seem pitted since on a weekly basis we're either losing a unit to burn out or just charred pins; not sure an LED would solve the...

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with some LED tape.I have a billboard in a show I'm working on. There are 4 lights at the bottom. Inside the housings are 2 runs of LED tape. RGBW 12v, and tunable white 24v. I have Environmental Lights DMX decoders for them all. They have DMX down to the...

A little data base of mostly LED movers I've been making for myself for some time:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L6OvISKP9gDXWKORqukHEzNQSeiBq4C56kcnkLEAXro/edit?usp=sharingAlso includes LED fallow spots and static framing profile fixtures.Feel free to post corrections or requests...

We recently build a new performing arts center and went all LED. One of my biggest issues is complaints from the dancers that the LED's are just too bright. They can't see. The issue is mainly with the ETC Source Four LED Series 2 Lustr units with the enhanced definition lens system and the...

We are doing some renovations in our building and are looking to replace our Existing mismatched metal halide fixtures/lamps. We have 12, that we use as generic "non-show" Houselights/Worklights.We tried a "corn cob" style LED lamp replacement (Ballast Bypass) on a single fixture the active...

Hello everyone I am here to ask anyone who has had an experience upgrading their House Lighting from Unison/Lutron systems using fluorescent tubes into an LED based house lighting. There is a potential upgrade for next year and I want to know more about the various systems there are nowadays. I...

Hi all!I was debating posting this in multimedia but I figured that it would get more attention here. I work in color science / color management of LED display technologies. I've been asked several times over the last year for a list of reading materials / books / links / etc... that some one...

I have a number of clear CK color cove LED tubes on a show and am looking to wrap them in a material for more of a visible solid tube of light effect (so it looks more like a fluorescent tube or those frosted LED pixel tubes) rather than being able to see the individual emitters and was...

Ok, from my viewpoint I could not even conceive of pushing a power cord through a grommet, provide free shipping, and be able to do it for $9. So, curiosity has got the best of me about these Chinese DMX LED PARs selling for $9, or specifically four of them for around $37 shipping inclusive...

Looking for an RGBW LED tape option that lets me ADD white to a tuned color.The ones I have in my kitchen can tune a color OR white but not both at the same time. Is that the way the tape is designed? Or is that a limitation of my controller at home?The guy I just spoke with at...

I am wondering if anyone has any products in mind that would work my the show I am building. The design calls for globes in a tree that are all RGBW, DMX controllable, and wireless. I have found a lot of LED gear out there but nothing that meets all three requirements. I don't need to it be a...
