Hey guys,
We started to do some remodeling and the next major thing is changing the lighting and putting it on an affordable dimming system. We have a master electrician in the family, so we just need suggestions on types of light and equipment we need to get the job done. We want everything to be very modern, so we have no strings attached to the traditional look. We'll have a large sound booth built in the back, and eventually running Jands Vista software with a basic JV M1 lighting board to control future LEDs , intelligents, etc. (Can the house lights and future stage lights run off that board, or will it need a separate board?) We would like everything controlled from the booth.
The sanctuary is 100x50 with high ceilings that start at 20 feet and slant up to 40. We would also like all of the house lighting pointed down to hide the high ceiling and take away from the size (maybe some type of suspended cylinder down lighting). LED house lights are ouf of the question because of the cost...and as of right now he top consideration has been hanging some type of lights from a kindorf framing system. With the amount of energy those old fixtures are pulling, the electrician said we would be pulling a lot less.
I know just enough about DMX to get me by, but still learning a lot, so you might have to break it down for me. I understand the importance of a lighting professional, but I have no say in bringing one in, and were on a shoestring budget. Is it possible to be creative and get this done for around $4000-$6000?
