danielsan Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm trying to buy profiles for the school I work in. They must be Cheap but good (difficult I know). What can you recommend? What degree do I need? 13ft grid, 20ft x 20ft black box stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallPaul Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 It would be useful to know the distance to any FOH bars before talking about which lenses to go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Without knowing wether you want to buy new or not, my initial thoughts are New:ETC Source Four Jr 25/50s (or 26, 36 or 50º) which are about £230Selecon Acclaim Axials which are about the same 2nd HandThere are plenty of Cantata's in different flavours doing the rounds at the mo for about £100 inc lamp, plug, hookclamp, safety etc. I'm reasonable sure we've had a 'small profile' thread before, might have been a little while ago.

F.O.H. bar @ 10-15 ft depending on seating arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO way round that I'm afraid. Does F.A.L. still stand for F***ing Awful Lights. Someone mentioned their Sagamatore 1000s to me the other day. Cheap, certainly. Rubbish, probibly?

GridGirl Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 For what you pay for them, Selecon Pacifics are great profiles. Versatile, you can change the beam angle easily with different lens tubes and you can get them with four different lamps - 1000w, 600w, MSR and 80v versions. And you can put acetate gobos in them cos they're cool lights. But I don't know that you could call them cheap, just good value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to put them on Ebay after next week, but if you want them for £100.00 each, PM me and let me know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
