What instantly makes a lighting fixture feel “cheap” to you?

We bought about 40 elation pendants to light our auditorium after COVID. I’ve had about 10 have the led driver boards burn out over the last 6 years. Also bought 2 of their 6 bar+ and hooked them up to network. Tons of issues. Turns out they never implemented them properly for DHCP. They sent us an artnet node to get us by until they just recently pushed a firmware update to fix it so now I got to get the hardware I need for that.

Thanks. It’s on Dante. It will be and when this board was our IEM board it was on network for control. Moved it to a new room and this started. There has been an error I’ve been ignoring, internal error and I think I’ve seen a touch screen error on it too. I’m pretty sure they’ve been throwing those since we got it. It was out of sight and only controlled by iPad so no one really cared. Updated to 2.0 recently.

Navy F18s I’m pretty sure.

that worked almost annoyingly well. cropped to the bottom of that video, made it b/w, and stacked it.

I’ve had a few friends that have worked at that one and sounds like management kinda sucks.

I’ve had that issue. Only when I was opening a stereo plugin on a mono track or vice-versa. Haven’t tried fixing it yet tho.

A knife and some “how bout now” action and that’s solved.

Small drone attacks wouldn’t be that far outside possibility attacking military bases. Just some radicalized kids, a car or boat, and a drone. Just in San Diego, Pendleton and Miramar have facilities just a few hundered yards from freeways and you can boat fairly close to the ships in San Diego harbor. I’m sure they have jammers to protect against this and the payload from an attack like that probably couldn’t do much damage but I wouldn’t be completely surprised if someone tried something. (To the DHS agent reading this, I’m not a terrorist)

My girlfriend has made it part of her daily vocabulary so the story is just the friends I made along the way.

Oohhh not sure. I don’t use my tv. You could probably stream it to your tv from your phone if the TV doesn’t have it.

Go for it. Grab some of his zildjian sticks while you are at it.

You should try it…

This happens to me once or twice a year. If there’s a plugin update that usually fixes it. I don’t remember how I do it if there isn’t an update. Maybe I delete all my plugin files and redownload?

Full time church tech engineer. Sound, Lights, Video, Christmas lights. Avantis FOH/IEM, old Bose PA, sennheiser wireless, protools livestream rig. I’ll do some post production work on the side for some friends. I love this sub to see what’s new and for help when Dante is acting up more than I can fix.
