You can also use a CP82 if you want to use the lamps for photography - I'm sure I've got a few of those at home.
-
Have a look at the medical peglegs for inspiration in how to attach something.
-
We've been using our minims at 500W for over twenty years without damage. I believe Gerry has been doing similar on his stage.
-
Stage Depot, Stage Electrics were first two I saw on Google, both showing stock. There are other stockists.

Or even a proper nut splitter? -
The Bose speakers among the seating have been replaced. We were there last summer and they had recently been replaced and a new system commissioned. The new speakers are quite directional - our sound guy was surprised at how little off axis sound there was. The big RCF subs were still rumbling on - grilles as rusty as you'd imagine, but still doing the job.
-
Making the changes in Manual mode, then pressing Store+Manual? Page 6 of the manual suggests that's the procedure.
-
I'm trying to remember what they have at Minack - I think they're an RCF outdoor speaker. They get left out in all (coastal) weathers. Might be worth asking them what they use?

This popped up on another site while I was reading this thread.

Part of the problem, I think, is that the public perception of a dimmable lamp is very different to the theatrical one. For theatre, we want a smooth fade from completely off to completely on. For domestic and commercial use the ability to vary between about 20% and full is all that most people need. So the lamps are really for different markets. Hence why LED houselights, for example, are a specialist product.
-
Birdies are likely MR16 or GU10 replacement. There are dimmable versions of these but they tend not to be what you'd call theatre dimming quality.
-
As Yorkie says, the AC lamps will work fine on DC, but you'll struggle to dim them. Most of them have a SMPSU which allows them to work over a range of voltages. Even PWM the power has no real effect.
-
May also be worth asking on controlbooth.com - you get more of a USA centric audience on there.
-
Maybe have a microdet go off at the site of the third target?
-
To be honest that's how I'd do it, and I'd get our workshop to mock up a nail gun in wood. Whether you can safely put anything in it to emit a puff of "smoke" when it goes off is down to you, of course.
-
Yup, we always used T28 in our 23s and 123s. Always got ours from Whitelight.
-
It appears from your original post that you're running your LED pars off the dimmer packs. Is that right? I'd normally expect to run those on hard power.
-
Welcome to the Blue Room. I don't think you'll get very far trying to MA2 on a pi, if that's what you mean. There are pi/Arduino projects to replace nodes, though if you already have a working node I think you'll just lose configurability by going that route. What are you trying to achieve, other than space saving?
-
If any workarounds exist, and I don't know of any, they'll be illegal. Do you want to put yourself and your show in that position? Best to take out a short term licence, as suggested.

McCoist in Stitches (Mail) What about the workers?

Apparently it's a well known prankster by the nickname of "jarvo". -
You didn't have the step rate fader set to a long fade time when you recorded, did you?

Indeed so, it seems to be being glossed over because it was "bants", a prank. I'd say some serious reviewing of security needs to be done ASAP. -
@mattotone - I've just downloaded it ok, so might be worth trying again
-
Something like this or this is what you need. There are various types, from amazon, the bay etc or from the likes of Enttec, DMXKing, City Theatrical etc. Edit: ah, Tim beat me to it 🙂 and yes, pixel tape eats universes for breakfast.

Probably the two large screw connectors are the actual supply to the LEDs and thinner push on connector is the supply to the control circuitry. Can you get a photo of the silver label unobscured by the mains input?
