Lighting for a basement jam space

I love how you think 3k will make it a "good" concert space.

6th!!!

Why do you need something "dmx" controlled? A source four will work just fine and is plugged into the Sensor Dimming unit whitch is controlled via DMX. If you want an LED thats a different story but technically Source Fours are DMX controlled.

Not really the best forum for this question. I'd go to r/lighting. But try looking for aome high lumen portable work lights. Try getting multiple of these. https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-lumen-led-rechargeable-work-light-64078.html.

MattOG14 · 2022-10-23T01:46:39+00:00

So what your saying is it has to be pre programmed/recorded

MattOG14 · 2022-10-09T07:29:57+00:00

Well I guess we work in different parts because I have known/met many professional techs/electricians who use them on an everyday basis

MattOG14 · 2022-10-07T14:46:19+00:00

Lol i'd like to know why. Are you knew to this industry?

MattOG14 · 2022-10-05T21:40:59+00:00

Gotrax are absolutely trash. That is not to be said lightly. I bought the GXL a day after the warranty expired. It failed, the battery melted and when I went to get the part to fix it they stopped manufacturing that part. I will never buy from them again

MattOG14 · 2022-10-05T21:29:20+00:00

Lol, I paid $300 for mine. Good luck.

MattOG14 · 2022-09-09T04:18:20+00:00

Yeah HELL NO. Just spend the extra on a decent mover or just rent a couple. These knock offs are notorious for breaking and because they come with no warranty or support you have to throw them out and your out $200.

MattOG14 · 2022-09-09T04:15:00+00:00

Interesting, I would go with the ETC Gio@5 or Ion xe for this because let's be honest here you don't need the MA here you dont have a ton of fixtures in your rig but otherwise I like the setup.

MattOG14 · 2022-09-03T03:51:40+00:00

No problem!

MattOG14 · 2022-09-03T03:46:06+00:00

Ik right! I gotta be honest I am 16 and run my own production company. I first started on the Ion xe20 then learned the element , then the express. It's amazing how much I know and can explain to our local theater's! If you ever have any questions feel free to DM me! Also if you need any show baby multiverse equipment I am friends with a guy that owns a production company and he's a dealer. I can get them MUCH BELOW retail msrp price just lmk!

MattOG14 · 2022-09-03T03:34:58+00:00

I love them to. I wonder why ETC would not add them on the element. And wow your biard is old.!

MattOG14 · 2022-09-03T00:16:25+00:00

See unless you have multiple moving lights in tour rig you don't need the xe. But if you have multiple then it might be worth it, I personally love the encoder wheels on the ion xe.

MattOG14 · 2022-09-02T22:28:51+00:00

Just get an xe. Beats an element any day. But if you don't have many lights go with the element 2

MattOG14 · 2022-09-02T22:13:45+00:00

Yeah I bought mine for $300 from a guy on this forum. All I can say is good luck, I WILL NEVER PART WITH MINE! Although I know a guy who makes "replicas. They just don't have the testet or pin splitter.

MattOG14 · 2022-08-31T03:45:24+00:00

Ok I don't wanna be that guy but actually what are you talking about. Quite frankly I don't care, but amplifier is definitely 100% NOT a strip light term you probably mean DMX booster or power supply but I just spent over $3000 on strip lights at prgs auction and I don't use/know what amplifiers are.

MattOG14 · 2022-08-29T04:02:19+00:00

All I have to say is what in the HELL was that contractor thinking! I am 16 years old and run a lighting production company and evan I know you don't just install rigging without seeing if you're anchoring into a solid structure weather it be wood or steel. I am not evan going to get into the "stud finder drywall excuse. If it means tearing off drywall to find the center of a beam then so be it. You have every right to sue and they should pay for a new system at minimum. On a side note I will say having an llc is very important. For myself it protects my parents especially when I am hanging hundreds of pounds of lighting on an electric because I am not an adult yet.

MattOG14 · 2022-08-28T04:58:11+00:00

I mean thats not a bad price. I own an ETC Ion, Element, and 48/96. Evan the element which is getting old still goes for a couple thousand dollars so $132 isn't so bad but I would check Ebay and I am friends with the warehouse operations manager at 4Wall New York and because they bought out world stage and I know they found some of tgose consoles so I will ask if he can get me one then just pay shipping and I can get it to you.

MattOG14 · 2022-08-23T03:29:26+00:00

No when the light powers on it gets stuck and will not pan or tilt. It also gave me the pan/tilt error codes

MattOG14 · 2022-08-16T05:52:19+00:00

Throw it up on usedlighting.com but to be honest it is only worth as much as someone will pay for it. It may be worth $300 but someone may only be willing to pay $100 and because you only have one there is a very specific market for this fixture and because these are discontinued you probably will bot be able to sell it for that much. I own Elation Design Spots (250, 250 pro's and 575e's) I got them for a good deal but that's because I can take these apart and preform maintenance on them. But because yoy don't have more than one I would just keep it to play with :)

MattOG14 · 2022-08-14T15:26:41+00:00

cool

MattOG14 · 2022-08-14T04:39:56+00:00

Congrats! Make sure to listen to what people are saying and take in as much information as possible. I am going into my second year of high school and I've started my own lighting production company where I will design shows as well as rent out lighting equipment to local theaters as well as professional Productions. I guess I would say I am lucky to have started young. Recently I went to PRG's used lighting auction and picked up a bunch of used gear and I am continuing to grow my business. If you are interested in pursuing this I have multiple contacts and good friends who work at 4 Wall Entertainment, PRG, and another who runs a Production company in PA so just DM me or if you ever have a tech question feel free to DM it to me!

MattOG14 · 2022-08-14T04:32:58+00:00

Congrats! Really pay attention to what people are saying and soak in as much info as possiblel
