Lighting Designer/Programmer Freelance Fees - Need advice from the veterans!

Hi Len,

I've read a lot of your posts on this forum and a few other forums as well :)

I agree, with the way the U.S economy has been, it would obviously be a good idea to just go cheaper than to have no work at all. Any suggestions on my console situation, as to if I purchased 2 Road Hogs and sell my iPC's, would that be a small upgrade only? I could sell the 2 consoles and hogPC software and purchase a GrandMA Full.

Thanks!
I can't really give you a range to rent your stuff for. Only to ask what the going rate is in your area. And I don't really have any idea since I don't rent moving light boards from or to anyone. I run a design/decor business which is heavily vested in weddings and other social events. Most of the events I do I can get by with a 12 channel dimmer controller. If I do use moving lights, I bring my Martin LightJockey (similar to a Hog PC).
Same can be said of what you should update to, if anything. I'm away from that segment of the industry and I don't really know what is being requested beyond what I read in the trade magazines.
