Japcarroll Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi all .. I'm looking for advice on lighting a small area of our hall to make a focal point in the centre of about 10'X6' .. I'm on a pretty small budget and after sorting out the sound I only had enough left for 4 SlimPar 38 LEDs with a 3 channel DMX mixer. What would be the best positioning for the units if I wanted to spot light a podium in the centre and have the wall behind the podium filled with a colour , Any advice would be much appreciated.. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hmmm that sounds like a big ask for 4 low-end LED PARS.... Could you elaborate on what your '3 channel DMX mixer' is. You're making it sound a bit like a Zero88 Alphapack to me. If it is, that is not suitable for using with your LED PARs which will need a direct connection to the mains and probably at least 12 channels of DMX control. Say you used 2 pars for your podium and 2 for the wall you could probably get away with 6 channels, but in truth you're a bit short of kit there to make this work really.

paulears Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm assuming you mean the Chauvet fixture? They're not really going to be enough I fear. The beam is narrow in the centre and then gradually falls away quoted as 14 degree beam angle with a 23 degree field angle, but 75 1/4W LEDs don't mean brightness unless you are quite close. Some of the current crop are using multiple 3 or 10W LEDs so you can see it's firmly a great if you have tons product. I'd look for some higher powered alternatives.
