I hope someone here can help me. I know almost nothing about stage lighting, was an audio engineer back in the day, but that is doing me no good on this project. My boss, knows I have an audio background, has tasked me with this stage lighting project, oh boy!!
They want to use all LED lights for a permanent music stage installed in their restaurant. It will consist of 12 LED pars for the front lighting and 12 LED pars for the back lighting run on two trusses.
I THINK, after reading everything I can come up with on the web, each light will need a 120v power supply and one dmx cable. The dmx can "daisy chain" from one light to the next light for all twelve lights on the chain and with a 20 amp circuit, with each light drawing ~1.36 amps, 12 pars can be daisy chained on the 120v end as well.
With this kind of set up and the proper mixing board will we be able to control each light separately for color and intensity?
[FONT="]Will we need a mixing board with two dmx outs to control each of the 12 light circuits and each light separately? I have barely even seen a light mixing board and just assume you can get one with two dmx channels out.
Am I even close in my thought process here?
Thanks everyone in advance. I know I am way out of my league, but the boss dumped this one in my lap. I know nothing about this, and have being telling them so for weeks. My only saving grace is this is for a small concert stage and not real theater lighting!
