LED Batten Storage

[willjam39]

Hi Guys,

 

We recently got some LEDJ pixel battens and are are now trying to find a storage case/bag to keep the dust out etc. Pro light recommend a bag but it only takes one unit per bag and I would prefer more per case/bag if possible

 

Any recommendations for places to look?

Talk to a local canvas or tent supplier and see what kind of cost to have something made up

Hi,

 

Whilst not directly related to your post whatever storage bag / case you decide on always make sure the location they are stored is free from cold and damp. Time and time again we see kit that is stored in a place where damp has got in and damaged fixtures.

 

Hope this is of use.

 

Kind regards,

 

Dennis

Hi guys,

 

Thanks for the responses, I must admit I don't know if we have any tent makers around here so shall look it up.

 

Hi Dennis, Thanks for the tip, I have similar problems on old LCD screens on the desk. Issue is limited space in the house so hoping if properly dressed the other half wont mind them hiding in a dark corner as much.

Would a decent mic stand bag work for you? The better ones have individual pockets or velcro straps to stop stuff clattering around when in the bag.

 

Plenty to choose from on Thomann for example: https://www.thomann.de/gb/pa_equipment_bags1.html?viewMode=block

We found a bog-standard flight case, and had some foam pieces made up to size. We build a "batten lasagna" with six battens per layer and foam in between. You need to be careful that the lenses are sitting down onto the foam rather than bumping off each other.

 

This gives us 30 battens in one easily moveable case, and cost very little. 18 months on from building it, we don't have a single breakage.

Thanks for the tips guys :)

 

Think I have found a bag that holds two at a time which would be perfect for our needs. Wish I had enough to warrant a full flight case though ;)

Gator make a 4-bar soft case which might suit ......

In case it helps others, I use these modest 2-batten Chauvet CHS-60 bags which I've found quite good and (cost) effective:
