ChromaQ introduces their Inspire MD LED direct replacement houselight, uses existing dimmer system. First 20% of power is used to power the electronics and then the power from 21% to 100% is what triggers the light to go from 0% to 100% on a nice dimming curve. Booth 951

I don't know if anyone is here Sat, hope it's okay to cover a few items. GigGear has an interesting hands free harness for an iPad. Looks a bit like a front carry baby harness. Unlike my baby harness, it also has extra pockets for...everything?
