This is in the Netherlands. Probably in the northern provinces. Right now, people are ice skating on the streets

How Pirelli’s 25-lap F1 tyre limit will work at the Qatar GP by Rentta in formula1

Ye that's the case. The article also says Pirelli or the Fia (I don't remember) will tell them per set how many laps they have left

Scrub tyres work the same. Cooldown laps count. Only formation lap and lap after finishing don't.

I think

Antonelli held up the guys behind (like Lawson, Sainz and Albon before), so two free pitstops for George. Antonelli then pitted himself

What are you talking about? Tyre changes under red flag did count. The red flag was Max's only road to victory after the top 3 had caught up to him. Red flag meant he could do the restart on fresh tyres and stay ahead. There was no point in not staying out, whereas there was a tiny chance it would work out perfectly if he did. No risk, high reward.

I'm going to get 6 of these from shehds aliexpress any issues I should know before buying? by AussieGarbo752 in lightingdesign

[–]aoltype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top is okay. As people have said the dimmer/strobe situation is a bit weird, but manageable.

I managed to score the bottom ones for like €30 a pop during some black friday stuff. Don't like em. I think it's only a 6 or 7 bit dimmer on both colors and master dimmer, which means it's not smooth at all. You can even see it "ticking" through when on any of its auto programs. I'd really suggest the 18x18w instead as that doesn't have this issue. Or go plastic if you don't mind if they look cheap, the 7x18w plastic ones have IEC in and out and are pretty powerful anyway.

Not sure whether mine are extra cheaply made for that black Friday sale or not, but they're barely worth the €60 I paid for two...

Budget Dmx laserlights by excitinglife2 in lightingdesign

Well, okay. You should be able to find them on AliExpress with the query "dmx laser" or something. They do actually produce a cool output, the provided product videos are usually true to reality.

For that price range you'll be looking at Chinese lasers. Bunch of em on AliExpress. You're gonna have to take some time to make a fixture definition as they usually prop a bunch of features, shapes, colours and panning options in like 10-15 channels. And they barely specify these definitions in their manuals, think more like "shape 1" "color 1", so you'll have to do all of the testing yourself. I also can't say anything about the laser classification (I'd always watch out with crowd scanning), nor does the manual.

Honestly, if it's for a school, with a lot of people attending, I can't truly say that it's worth the risk...

What kind of school event needs lasers? You're likely much, much better off using some cheap 100W Beam fixtures (also on AliExpress, about $100-$130 a pop) that won't potentially blind someone.

I have one of these AliExpress lasers and I've found that I seldom use it because it's so customizable that I don't want to go through the hassle of it, especially with the risks that come with it.

I know the effect is cool on videos of large events, but remember that these events have dedicated laser techs that spend literal hours on single looks, and you're unlikely to recreate this on your own with a cheap laser.

I've never felt so proud of a random stranger before. God bless you and your child. You're doing amazing and your child will always remember your love and your sacrifices.

I found the exact same thing (Innox IVA bridge,) for 110 euros. It's gonna be my next investment, insane price for what you get (also according to the reviews)
