Well I guess that's not really an issue with us since we're above and behind the audience, but it makes sense I suppose. I never really thought about it.
Now I want to go paint the inside of our booth black, just for the heck of it...

If its a serious problem, and you cant paint the walls for whatever reason but you can hang soft goods, a scrim in front of the light booth can help cut down on distractions inside. Thats how our black box is set up, and it works really well for us. SM and LX can see out well enough to call the show, and the audience cant see in too well. FWIW, our space has been set up in a 3/4 thrust configuration for a while now, due to time constraints and labor concerns, so 2/3 of the audience used to be able to see straight into the booth.

You are not losing it.
The 24/48 is being used for conventional lights and the 48/96 is being used for movers. I'm not sure why; the 48/96 should be able to handle both, I just need to learn the Expression software! As odd as it sounds, I've never worked in a theatre with an ETC board.
Since the systems are approaching 6 years old and we have 30 movers, I'm going to start pushing for an Ion. At that point the 48/96 will go in the black box, the 24/48 will go in the lab theatre and the Smartfade will go into storage.

Heh, Technically the 24/48 can do everything : p Unless the lighting op prefers having most mover control on the channel faders. But if your looking for new consoles, out with that idea if you have 30 movers.
(I just want one : ()
Better booth pictures (these ones have already been posted but weren't very clear) that I took tonight.

I had a pair of those for 6 months, they got the job done. Turns out they didnt like receiving phantom power via the DMX in though.

I am SO GLAD you posted a picture of your console. That is the same board we had in my high school's old theatre. They tore it down right after I graduated, and I have since tried to find out what console it was, without luck. When I was there, I wasn't as interested in the nuts and bolts of theatre, so I never paid close enough attention to what I was using.

When I uploaded the picture a year ago, I was hoping we would soon have a newer, better console. Alas, we're still using it, ten years after we bought it new. It has issues, but it's still trucking along. The Lightronics TL 3256 has been, overall, a good board. I ran Jekyll & Hyde: the Musical on that board last fall. 128 cues (Lightronics calls them scenes, as the Fade In and Fade Out on each "scene" are considered cues, so it really has 255 cues), and had to do a few of the FTBs manually when we started running low on cue numbers...
