Hello All,
I am doing a show at the end of January and we start tech-ing in about 2 weeks.
I am the lighting designer and technician and have been given a request from the director. The show is called Push Up and it takes place within an office building. Going for a minimalist set design, the director wants to have a fluorescent 2ft X 2ft lighting fixture to hang in the office "space".
I have obtained the fixture and gutted it. I am wondering what kind of lights to put inside of the casing so that i can plug it into a stage pin circuit to dim the fixture.
I tried today to put a strand of 400 clear Christmas lights inside. The output was much too dim and almost amber in color. I was thinking about trying 800 white colored Christmas lights to achieve the intensity and color that i'm looking for. Any suggestions?
