My favorite color is RX 107 though it's discontinued. I think you are going to be needing to
frost the heck out of your fixtures.
Some thoughts if you have more equipment available and were just limited by
power.
Just because fixtures are rated for 1Kw, doesn’t mean they have to have a 1Kw lamps in them.
4)
Ellipsoidal on the back 2x
1KL 6-40, 2x 1KL6-12
4) 8"
Fresnel DSL/DSR & Risers
Assuming that due to limitations in
power is the reason for eight instruments, what if you were to lamp down the Ellipsoidalis and Fresnels some?
For the 8"
Fresnel:
Altman #75Q 8"Fresn: BVT, BVV, BVW, CWZ are the 1Kw lamps recommended. Not much you can do with this unless you
switch to 6"
Fresnel fixtures lamped with 500w BTL lamps instead. Might get better coverage given half the wattage and double the amount of fixtures. Is it possible to do 6" Fresnels? This or at least use BTN lamps in them and get three fixtures per tree and just about as much punch over a more spread area.
For the
1KL fixtures, nothing says you need 1Kw lamps in them. Should be able to bring them down to a GLA 575w/115v lamp or a HPR 575/115v lamp, if not at least a often cheap FLK lamp and have just about as much output for in lamping them down for wattage, being able to use double the amount of fixtures.
Given the follow spots are using 1Kw lamps, that’s one
circuit all by itself. Than again, you can instead install a Osram HPR 575/115v lamps in them or at least Philips #6981P 750w/115v lamps in them and free up enough
current for one or two more fixtures. If you go with the new 750w lamps, you should have plenty of punch over that of the rest of the fixtures. If you go with the HPR in the follow spot and for the Lekos go with the GLA or even FLK lamps, again you will have plenty of punch and in this case free up lots of
power for more fixtures.
I expect the goal is both to have effective lighting and perhaps some amount of control over the design’s look given only 100 Amps of
power available. Such
fixture and re-lamping solutions would possibly provide a more efficient light coverage and allow for some design by way of color choice.
Assuming 4x8 platforms and the location of some of the booms, you could probably also down size further what size and types of fixtures are used. Say a 90w
PAR 38, 200w
PAR 46, 300w
PAR 56 or 150w Inkie for the
wing platform down lights, with another side
boom off the audience having other small instruments. 400w lamps are also available for most Lekos which could allow for up to six fixtures per
circuit if you have enough available. Some of your
throw distances are fairly long, but given wide focus Lekos, a 400w lamp in them might just be fine.
One hundred amps is a lot of
power given the size of your space. Lots you can do with it but your fixtures would need to be down sized a lot in wattage and size I think. More fixtures with less wattage equal more coverage and flexibility.
