Good service from the seller too.

UV isn't hugely powerful, but is useful output. Much dimmer than the rest of the colours.

The white is a nice clean white, and the amber is useful in colour mixing. I'd need to look at them again to comment on variance of beam angle across colours. I'll have them out tomorrow, if I get time I'll take some photos.

For the money you really can't argue.

I recently bought a couple of QTX hex pars for £79 the pair, and have been very impressed by them. Great light output and colour mixing, useful beam angle that doesn't vary hugely between colours. Build quality is reasonable for the price, they wouldn't cope with rough handling, they need to be cased and looked after, but they're not about to fall apart of their own accord.

A lot of orchestras are leaving an empty row between perc/brass and the next row of wind, and many are touring with wrap round acrylic shields for those in front of particularly instruments.

I'm an amateur percussionist, and often wear my moulded earplugs when playing louder repetoire, especially for things like clash cymbals and gongs/tam-tams.

Interestingly despite having worked for some fairly large organisations within 'noise creation' departments I've never had a baseline hearing test, nor been supplied with hearing PPE. Is the industry really taking this seriously enough?

2 isn't the current CCT minuette design, that has a funny notch to allow the shutter to get inside, it could be an older design though?

3 is an acclaim zoomspot

4 is a strand prelude, but these also fit quartets, and possibly minims? They are also rather short shutters and don't allow that much insertion before light leaks from fhe back edge.

Curious' DSM tweeted all company and FOH are out safe. Fire service official statement here.

Further reports seem to suggest that the dome over the stalls has collapsed, rather than a balcony collapse as first reported.
