Hello lighting folks -
Sound guy asking. I'm looking for a recommendation for ideally four, or at the most six, lights.
These are not to run a "Light Show" but instead to illuminate the stage with fairly natural looking white light.
If we need a lighting show, we bring in a lighting company. These are for bluegrass festivals, relay for life, first night fireworks events, etc. Think decent looking work lights
What I am looking for is a fixture I can have the staging guys hang easily on the front of the roof of an SL100 or SL250 (16-20ft from the stage deck). Or I can put on a pole on an ultimate stand or Applied L16.
I was thinking something like a waterproof LED mole?
Here are the requirements, I believe, let me know if this is realistic:
- Able to be fitted and mounted with cheeseboro, clamps or bolts to SL100 or SL250
- Enough "brightness" and dispersion to light up a 32x24 stage from 20ft. I'm not too worried about keeping the light on the stage, a little spill is OK for these, and obviously if the stage size and height of the roof changes each gig, then there will be a little fluff.
- since they will be used on different size stages, they need to be able to dim gracefully
- Waterproof (often put up the day before when the stage roof goes up, etc)
- Only need white, but needs to be decent white. Not perfect but decent enough for amateur photographers not to gripe with me all night.
- DMX control, linked together. We will bring in a baby console to turn them on when we arrive.
- need all four or six to run on one 20amp 120volt circuit, ideally linking to each other without needing additional cabling, but if I need to I can get additional waterproof cabling.
- The idea is simplicity. Since I am relying on the staging company to mount these fairly often, they need to go up easy and not have a bunch of buttons that can be bumped and need a 25ft ladder to reach during soundcheck...
- hoping for a sub $300 per unit price. What's out there?
Thanks!
Jason
