@StradivariusBone Pay close attention to colo(u)r temperature and the heat in the beam.
Most AF of M
ers will be picky about the colo(u)r temperature and
foot candles reflecting off their scores and most string players will be really picky about the heat stressing their instruments.
Toodleoo!

I can definitely appreciate that, but 90% of the musicians we get on our
stage are middle or high school kids. The main goal is that they can see the music in front of them and most of the time we pull gels for band/chorus/orch because they don't mind either way and it saves us on replacing blues every month.
I was always told it was a Wenger shell, but the building was finished in 1995. That was a
bit before Wenger was as big as it is today, so there's not even a model number or anything on them.
Here's a few more photos to give a better idea of the task at
hand.
Lined up next to a plain jane S4
PAR. The
yoke diameter is very different, but there's a 2-3" difference in the height of the
yoke between the fixtures.
This is important because while the S4
PAR will fit the opening nicely, the bracket is about 2-3" too close to the
fixture body to work.
Here's a shot of the shells. Guess which one is the problem child?
And I mentioned this on the discord, but aside from the declination of the
PAR, we were somewhat accelerated into figuring out a retrofit due to discovering the
fixture that was out had been rewired at some
point previous to me and has some issues of its own.
Someone replaced a
socket, but used these
crimp connectors and the plastic insulators on those had degraded over time. Additionally, the
pigtail has one
wire that doesn't seem to have any
insulation jacket on it at all. Which seemed odd.
Anyway, I think the next test is to take an S4
PAR and see if tapping new holes in the
yoke will allow it to mount up properly. I think it will limit the tilt of the
fixture, but if it works, they're never going to
point anywhere other than down so it should be fine.
