Hi All,PRG is trying to sub the VL3515s in my order for their Best Boy HP Spot (the 1500w version) so they don't have to ship the VLs out to Chicago. They sent me a comparison form (attached) and it makes it seem like its everything the VL is and more with no drawbacks. Does anyone have...

I'm running a Chauvet Intimidator 355z IRC on an ETC Element Console. The way the fixture is mounted when you put the control in the center the light points at the ceiling. Does anybody know a way that you can change this position so it homes to the center of the stage?

My tremendously outdated theater is taking the next couple of weeks to try to incorporate moving lights. I'm borrowing a couple of movers from a friendly vendor today but I'm pretty sure these things are hot, because there's no identification or manuals involved with anything. Sorry to do this...

Hi there! I work in a blackbox that's about to be renovated, and our lighting budget is looking pretty darn healthy.
