Shakspeares suck

Hi I dont know where exactly to post this but i need to know how to bench focus Altman Shakespeares first gen. thank you
Even though it's called bench focus, I would not recommend laying the fixture down on a table. If possible, in a theatre I would fly in the First Electric to +6'-0" and focus onto the cyc. If no electric or cyc is available, I would mount the fixture on a sidearm on a boom and point at a white wall. Local control of dimming is handy, as one does not need to run the lamp at full for the entire 10-15 minutes it may take for some fixtures. Most should take under three.One thing that i know is that you set the instrument down on a table, have it shoot out a beam onto a cyc...
The primary lighting gear we're allowed to bash (in no particular order)...
Lightronics (pretty much everything including their Leko)
American Dj (namely the Accu-Spot and Accu-Fog. Their Opti-Par ranks up there in "questionable cloning")
NSI (some shoebox dimmers and some boards)
On the same note, most Leviton products
Anything Chinese (parcans, DJ lights, etc)
Colortran Mini-Elipses
Some Chauvet, but apparently they're getting better
Altman Table Lamps
BTW, Derek, EDC was my term, which I stole from some other forums. There's this whole culture of people obsessed with EDC, you should see how much they pack away on their person.
Incorrect. ETC launched the SourceFour™ in 1992. Altman introduced the Shakespeare Series 600 in 1994. I have the back issues of Lighting Dimensions to prove it....they were created before the SourceFour ...
