Hello everyone,
I've got quite a predicament. I work for a christian university, and new to the university this year they have implemented a new university wide worship program. They want some kind of lighting done, however they don't really have too big of a budget to do this with. The other issues that the sanctuary that this will be happening and has little to no power available. The only way we could get the sanctuary looking really good is to use LEDs, however those are way too expensive for our budget. I'm wondering if anybody knows about a low-cost high-quality light that would do well in an environment like this. I have worked instinctively with ETCs source four series, however this may be too expensive. I've heard decent reviews about Chauvet lights, but I've never actually used them. As far as controlling the lights goes, these would merely be static, and wouldn't need to be controlled via DMX. In the future, however, we may buy a lighting console, but for now only need to stay static lights. The other problem is that there is no where to really hang lights, so they would need to be hung from lighting trees or put along the bases of walls and pointed up. Any suggestions?
Here's a picture of our sanctuary: http://karlsdailyphotoscapes.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dp-199.jpg?w=914&h=620
You can't see it in this picture, but in the rear of the sanctuary is a balcony, which we could put light trees on but nothing more, because there isn't anywhere to clamp but the wood railing. Thanks for your suggestions!
