Hi everyone! I'm an undergrad trying to light a ~13ft light box with LED strip lights. We've been trying to figure out how to control them with our ETC Ion board. We don't know exactly what materials we need other than the board, strip lights, and dmx box. Also, if its possible, we also wanted...

I'm currently looking for some LED wash fixtures with a zoom feature. Being in a thrust theatre our trim height is 22'. I've looked at the Rogue R1 washes, but they dont seem to give the footcandles we need (Min 100 @ 20'). We're looking not to spend over $1000 per fixture. Any suggestions would...

Help! I need to replicate lighting matches and having them burn out for a show. We can't use actual matches due to fire code restrictions (no budging on this--it's for competition). I'm a complete newby to special effects/electrical/LED stuff, but have some smart students/parents that can...

I work in a 110 seat black box which produces intimate theater in thrust or arena staging. Since the "grid" is about 14' off the deck, the noise from dimmers that are currently in the air is sometimes distracting. So we are looking to upgrade to LED fixtures so we are not using these dimmers. I...
