Wait. 30 universes for a ground package? Okay, not exactly all of them are lighting-only universes, but they are universes nonetheless! Being a house LD is a great gig, and it's even better when you are also the guest LD and bring your touring friends to your home town.

Reminds me of some of the 32 ehrgeiz helios 7 lamps that we have. Sometimes they need to be reset before they will accept DMX commands and other times they just need some time to "warm up" after being turned on.

@vampeel 4 жыл бұрын

I would call that a design flaw, the lights dont remember their settings.

@christianjackson 4 жыл бұрын

vampeel well, the issue is that only a few of them did that. They are supposed to keep the settings. Usually that is because of a dead battery inside. Not necessarily a design flaw since these are older fixtures. Batteries die eventually and then none of the memory will be retained

@xanderstuff7 4 жыл бұрын

@@christianjackson I guess there's no real way to get around that unless you want to change internal batteries before every show haha

@matthiasdb1 4 жыл бұрын

@@xanderstuff7 Just mark them as "defective" and let the guys in the shop put a new battery in. That's the only correct way. No need to change "internal batteries" before every show because these CR batteries should last a long time. They are like the CMOS battery in your computer. When it dies your pc also loses his date and time. Same goes for these fixtures, but with mode and address.

We're planning on using 16 of the Robe LEDBeam 150s on 4 vertical trusses behind the DJ on our next big event. Do you think those fixtures fit? Cause there's gonna be 8 Sharpys mounted in the ceiling in addition to 8 JB P7 and 4 Robe Spiiders. I can't decide whether to use led bars or the ledbeam150s (we already have two Martin rush par 2 as a backlight)
