Our local high school has a well equipped theater and we are looking to develop a strategy for upgrading some/all of the conventional stage lighting fixtures to LED. The goal is to reduce maintenance and save money on power and lamps. Our budget will most probably require upgrades to be done over a number of years, thus the need for an incremental plan as opposed to a total switch out.
My fundamental question is what business case others have found when they have switched to LED fixtures? Also I'm wondering if it makes sense to keep the current lights and invest in a few moving spots or washes that could add new lighting design options?
The current system is based on a large configuration Strand dimmer rack (140 channels in an SD80?) and a Strand 200 console.
We currently have the following lights:
30 Altman Par 64s, 4 165Q Altman fresnels, 30+ Strand SL 23/50 Ellipsoidals & 5 Altman Scoops
Thanks for any thoughts.
