Would you all mind answering a question about a project I'm working on?
A small regional theater is being built from the ground up (no existing structure).
30' x 40' x 18' blackbox, modifiable stage and seating setup.
The builder (and part investor) has recommended we go with an all LED array, given the reduced cost in initial wiring, AC load (we're in the south), monthly power cost, cable, dimmers.
Basically, the infrastructure required for LED is so much less initially and month-to-month that it cancels out the 10x markup for LEDs. It sounds like the quality of light is comparable to incandescents.
Is there any reason you wouldn't go LED in my position?
What would you substitute for Fresnels on the back and sides? Fire and Ice?
Thanks. Great thread so far. Been extremely informative.
