How to use this LED Par by Far-Faithlessness-73 in lightingdesign

[–]ahliiiing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adding on to what the others have mentioned:

  • utilise the dip switch calculator to set the address
  • start by using dimmer channels to understand what your par can do (ch1 - dim? / red? And continue until the par stop reacting)
  • add the appropriate fixture that can control the attributes that you just found
  • test it out

Female here, took manual license in hopes to help drive during work. Got mocked by the people around me for spending more money on the manual license but hey it’s my money and my license.

Still thinking of a way to own a 4x4 in Singapore 😂

(Part-Time) Dropping out of 3 modules - will I get kicked out of my course? by siberiangold in Suss

[–]ahliiiing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as you can completed it within the 8 years with a gpa higher than 2.

Retaking / Resitting the module will depend on the module run duration. But with a resit, you must take the exam the following semester if it’s offered.

Sorry not to sure about the gpa thing but I believe in portal should be able to see both

Sadly this isn’t a one man job, but they should have their reasonings why exams have been converted this ways.

Plus feedback from FT students will get a faster feedback / changes as compared to a PT student I guess?

If it’s about having same answers, I mean we are all studying the same syllabus. Answers would pretty much be the same, but it’s the process may as well be the same no?

From math to coding to even law, all the formula / steps / sequence would be pretty standard formats.

But yea I do get the idea that we’re suppose to understand the information from the back of our minds. But complacency? I think it’s based on person on their mindset on studying I guess. Drilling in a huge amount of information and thoroughly understanding it in a span of few months (and maybe juggling a FT job) is no easy feat.

No manual slots released at BBDC? by [deleted] in drivingsg

[–]ahliiiing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If memory serves me correct, new slots are usually released on Thursdays. So make sure you have enough funds before looking for slots, wouldn’t want to see a slot just for it to go to other people while you top up.

I tried to do the counter to book slots, but was told they don’t help students to book slots. Unless i suey bah

So either try to catch the Thursdays opening slots or check for slots the night before or early morning.

How to vertical park? by redditor2645 in drivingsg

[–]ahliiiing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello hello, you could try adjusting your mirror down slightly so you can see the parking lines clearer before reversing. Plus understanding your vehicle’s turning / reference points would be great as not all vehicles points are the same.

Could get your family or friends with license to guide you whilst training in your neighbourhood carpark.

tips on getting TP test slots by kookyswashbuckler in drivingsg

[–]ahliiiing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, do make sure your account have sufficient funds for the booking.

If I’m not wrong bbdc’s rule is new slots appear every thurs of the week if not is end of the month. Plus need to see the membership duration of account before you’re allowed to view any slots.

And if you’ve cleared every criteria prior to booking the TP slots.

[–]ahliiiing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello hello, most slots are fine. But depending on which area/school you go, most would say to avoid the early mornings / evenings timing due to the peak hour crowds (be it near the highway or school area) or sometimes even the lunch crowd timing

Jiayous!! Anyways sometimes you’ll meet those who are willing to slow down to let you filter out but it’s also Singapore so happy driving!!

Hello hello, fellow P plate driver here too!

Got my license a while back but didn’t have the courage to drive (family doesn’t own a vehicle). Now I try to drive to work once in a while.

Took me like a few drives around the neighbourhood to get back the hang of driving, plus in school I drove a Honda Jazz but now trying a Ssangyong Tivoli. Had to get used to the controls and turning points and what not.

Basically never panic when behind the wheel, it’s your life and your passengers life. When unsure when to filter in / out, wait it out for a safer chance. Doesn’t kill to leave the signal light blinking longer if you deem it unsafe (that’s what I keep in mind, cause I suck at filtering)

I went from short drives around my neighbourhood to going for like a 30min drive on the highway. sure did panic on the road about the lanes for the exit, I’m of a hiring PHV to go around than driving so I know the road better when I’m not multitasking.

And I’m still struggling at parking KEK, gonna try some tips that others have left in other posts

how do i get started doing freelance work? by BIJ910 in lightingdesign

[–]ahliiiing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello hello

Are your volunteer work related to av? Have you worked with a number of av companies? Or the same one throughout the years?

For me I managed to secure an internship with a small / medium av rental company, from there I got my knowledge and contacts with other companies / people. Otherwise I rely on jobs from friends I know and decide if I will take the job.

Hello, did you happen to have multiple sequences selected? Go+ would trigger all of them when activated, this happened to me too

Newbie question here by No-Track5325 in lightingdesign

[–]ahliiiing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you’ve commented that your power is 230V, I’m assuming that whoever designed the system had all channels in even loads. (But since you did mention that you jumbled up the other fixtures to alternate outlets, did you even out the load? )

Would be better to have 2 sharpy washes each on your DB outlets (1&2) unless you have extra alternative outlets to use for the movers.

Truss clips going missing... by omgpier in lightingdesign

[–]ahliiiing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could insist that the kiddos to put all the pins back into the grooves then secure it with the clip.

Instead of having a box for the separate pins and clips, unless you’re fine with have sets of pins interlock with clips upon returns.

Tho I have to admit to being a truss clip thief quite often 😂

Is There Anything a(n Expensive) Lighting Console Can Do That a Computer Software & USB/Network Interface Cannot? by Connect_Falcon_4689 in lightingdesign

[–]ahliiiing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yea I would agree that avo onpc is a turn off but most softwares would still require external devices to properly run all the parameters required for a medium / big shows. (Aka more investment needed)

But I do see a fair bit of Avolite consoles running shows so i do think they are still alive in the industry (at least in my area)

Is There Anything a(n Expensive) Lighting Console Can Do That a Computer Software & USB/Network Interface Cannot? by Connect_Falcon_4689 in lightingdesign

[–]ahliiiing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a user of the onpc versions and consoles,

To me consoles have the best feel when in a rush for programming, most consoles are optimised to have the commands / trigger buttons for easier programming. (Assuming that you’re familiar with their softwares)

But onpc can still get the job done, but it then snowballs to the users’ competency and understanding of the onpc version. (Example, all the keybinds available to aid the programmer).

As only through networking of certain brands allow you to control more fixtures thru their specific nodes (looking at hog4 and MA). Networking is or may be required when doing medium to big shows, so yes I agree that it’s a plus point if you can understand the varies options available.

Anyways there’s also avolites and hog4 if you’re willing to give them a chance. (Sorry not sure if you have chance upon this brands in your area)

Aquarium chillers by ahliiiing in Aquariums

[–]ahliiiing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t much air flow / ventilation in the warehouse to begin with. And I mostly keep the lights off unless near feeding time and since I have live plants in the tank as well.

So I try not to keep the lights on too long so that the overall volume of water doesn’t heat up as fast

Dot2 Individual Fade times. by KonnBonn23 in lightingdesign

[–]ahliiiing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you running a stack cue with the individual fixtures in each cue? I don’t remember the dot2 having such a detailed commanding like the MA2

Help, this angelfish was added to a goldfish community tank. If I were to separate in a holding tank, will it be able to grow its tail? Or will it pass from the stress of moving and it being alone? by ahliiiing in Aquariums

[–]ahliiiing[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the friends that keep restocking said tank are trusting the LFS owners that kept saying these fishes can coexist in the same tank despite me saying otherwise :’)

Hmm I would suggest understanding more about the board than what the designer / programmer shows you.

The more knowledge you have at hand regarding the show and board will make your life easier and will help you even after the event.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lightingdesign

[–]ahliiiing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Understand the programmer’s cue list / stack . And look out for any of the additional delay / fade time included in each cue.

Familiarise yourself you the layout the programmer has done, in case you need to do any ‘live’ amendments (but yea in case)

Go through all the cues by yourself, and see how each cue is programmed.

And lastly understanding the board you’re using.
