Audience Blinders other than a Bardswell type
HPL type lamped
PAR 64
fixture are typically using
PAR 36 or rarely
PAR 64 type lamps based off the Mole Richardson Mole light bank
system. Typically for rock audience blinders the
PAR 36 size will be used and either if actual Mole Light the FCS lamp (amongst other types in beam spread or
color temperature) or the more normal Thomas type design using a DWE medium focus normal color temprature lamp amongst other above options for lamp. Different lamps - one has screw terminals, the other has ferrules but otherwise the exact same lamps.
Both and all versions of them are rated for 25 hours which is why I laughed at one
point a few years ago at a venu that wanted to use such lighting for
house lighting. Given that lamp hour... sure you could use these high output lamps for what ever you with but it most likely would not be cost effective.
Again use them for what makes your art but it's a 25 hour lamp in the end and very possible that you could persay not have enough of them by mid-show if using their high output punch used too much. Blinking as with flashing don't persay hurt them if warmed by the
dimmer much more than a long stay on with blinding the audience. Depends on the use given the lamp life as statement.
A VNSP
PAR 64 S-4 is bright but a different beam spread from a typical
audience blinder. Did you mean
audience blinder using
ACL lamps #4596 lamps also with 25 hours to them? Two S-4
PAR 64 fixtures verses a bank of like eight
PAR 36 beams of light won't have the same
effect either if even
intensity of the run in series 28v 250w lamps.
Fun with scrollers... it's a thing but in general if thinking
audience blinder they would not be as the concept wondered about. Talking about a bank of lamps verses two fixtures.
