BRILLIANT!
R3802 is a better choice Li' Gaff
I think R3814 would work better. All the light will be going backwards...
Not a stupid question, but inapplicable in this case. The Lycian Superstar 1.2 is only available with a 1200W HMI lamp....This might be a stupid suggestion, but why not change to a lower wattage lamp?
Negative. Most longer throw followspots have a handle on the side that moves the front lens. Intensity can be reduced and the beam widened by moving the lens toward the lamp of the unit, effectively shortening the effective focal length of the optical system.
Ok, so i'm having an issue with our spot lights being too bright for our space...
We have spot lights that run at 10000w and in a 237 seat house they are a little overpowering...
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to bring them down a bit on intensity without using the douser?
This is for the show Swingtime Canteen and the rest of our stock is 750w ETC units.
As JD suggested, you may be able to make a deal with you local Lycian dealer. Maybe you can sell the fixtures and then buy a couple Lycian Midget HPs. They run at half the wattage, but still give you the advantage of an arc source unit. They will operate similar to the units you have, but they are smaller and more manageable. If you are going to try to go this route you might also look into the Robert Juliat Buxie. My spot ops and I really like the RJ fixtures, they are easy to operate, light weight, and quiet. So, there is some food for thought.
