Power
The rig eats a lot of juice: It is fed from two 32amp Ceeform plugs on the wall (same wall as fire escape). According to the Mains Circuits page, both are on the Yellow Phase.
Dimmers
Pulsar status dimmers: (2 of)
- 8-pin Din analogue signal in, 0-10v
- With pre-heat (good for not shocking cold bulbs if they suddenly get turned on, this increases lamp life.
- 6 5amp channels each.
- If they're buzzing, they're happy!
Eurolite DPX-405: (1 of)
- DMX512 control Via 3pin XLR. Pass Through.
- 4 5amp channels each.
- No Preheat.
- 13a Plug currently.
Desk
Zero88 Sirius24 see Lighting Desk
Hardware
On the ceiling is a home-made steel pipe frame, with some IWB's here and there (IWB's not connected).
Cables
- Box of various lengths of 15a in Techie room.
Patching
- IEC Panels feed the plugs on the ceiling.
- IEC leads from dimmers. MAX 5a (1Kw).
Lights
Furse fresnel: (2 of)
- Old fresnels.
- TUNGSTEN
Selecon Asymetric floods: (2 of)
- Not old! - still incredibly popular as of 01/10
- Asymetric! not even spread of light. spread gets better, the further they are from the wall. Remember, big side at bottom.
- Use to light back walls evenly, rather than a large "splodge" of light at the top, and not much at the bottom.
- The above makes them very useful when doing Chroma_key work.
- TUNGSTEN
Selecon Symetric Floods: (1 of)
- As Asymetric, but even.
- TUNGSTEN
Berkley Colortran Floods: (1 of)
- Compact, yet bright.
- With bardoors.
- TUNGSTEN
Strand patt 123 Fresnels: (2 of)
- The funny egg shaped ones.
- TUNGSTEN
Strand patt 223 Fresnels: (2 of)
- Adjustment control hidden behind bardoors.
- TUNGSTEN
Pole-Op Fresnels: (2 of)
- With rotating barndoors
- adjust Pan, Tilt & Beam Via knobs.
- HALOGEN - these are more "orange", so try not to colour balance with them mixed with other things...
Gels
- We have some!
- Lee 192 (medium blue)
- Lee 132 (primary red)
- Lee XXX (purple)
- Unknown 199 (dark blue)
- Unkown purple (possibly congo blue, looks like UV - but isn't really)
- Unkown green (various)
- Scrim - looks like tracing paper, but made of plastic and not nearly as flamable. Like gels, will melt if touching the glass of a flood. Use this to soften light - you can also put over only some of the fixture (called half scrim) to soften light e.g near to the source only. Very useful, but underused.
- 1/2 CTB. Looks grey. decreases output of lower CR's (orangeyness reduction). Make thing noticeably dimmer.
