Does anyone know any reliable vendors in New Hampshire? I'm looking to get some quotes for lighting upgrades at my high school, and I'm not sure where to begin.
Where in NH? PORT Lighting is a great company. If you are in southern NH, you've got the whole Boston market to choose from. Next door in VT you've got Dark Star Lighting.Does anyone know any reliable vendors in New Hampshire? I'm looking to get some quotes for lighting upgrades at my high school, and I'm not sure where to begin.
What kind of upgrades are we talking? What kind of budget?
I'm looking to upgrade my dimmers, and possibly some of my fixtures. I don't know what kind of budget yet, because I have to get a few quotes, and then convince the school board and the city council we need it, or, baring that, sell a lot of candy and lobby local businesses. I currently run 4 LMI SD-12s (mounted in my booth), and 4 NSI ND-4600 dimmer packs (semi-permanently mounted on the lighting grid itself). And several of my fixtures are so old, the cords are asbestos clad.
Are you handling all the aspects of specifications, design, installation, code compliance ?.
I feel like their has got to be some sort of grant out there from the feds for replacement of asbestos equipment. Worth investigating to help with the cost?
...Anyone got a theater still using a piano dimming console?
Sorry guys, my pedanticism (pedantic-ness?) is kicking in. Unless it's 12x6k or 14x3k plates in a metal-lined wooden case, it's not a piano board, it's a dimmer, resistance installation. Calling a direct-control (or "manual") dimming system a "console" is quite the bit of a stretch. Do a CB search for Frank Adams and I think you'll come up with at least two resistance dimmer systems. I wonder if ETC has a piano board in its control museum? Some time ago meatpopsicle was searching for one as a prop for a video shoot. I don't recall if he ever sourced one....the place they moved to had a wall full of piano dimmers.
