Yes unless it’s all preprogrammed to a click track which is what my goal is. So then my drummer can just hit a button on a computer or iPad and the click track will start along with the lighting that’s preprogrammed for that track.

Yea I can see that being tough. Besides a couple medleys we have we play our songs basically the same every time so the automation would work pretty well for my band. If we did have a situation where something unusual happened like an extended solo or if we extended a chorus I figure I could...

This may need a separate thread but do any of you do preprogrammed light shows? I’m trying to figure out what the best software is to use for click track and to trigger lighting along with it (so not the software or hardware to program lights but just to trigger them). This will be done by the...

Can a powercon connector be attached to one of those ? Or I need all powercon fixtures if I want to daisy chain them?

That’s a good idea!

Is anyone on here a qualified rigger?

Ok I have a few of the furman SS 6B power strips. For clamps I was going to use the full wrap clamps. I also intend to use wireless, all my fixtures so far have the D Fi USB. I live in a city so hoping I don’t get interference.

Yea agreed, I would only need to do 3 fixtures at a time daisy chained together for power. To put lights on vertical truss I can still use the same clamps as if they are going on horizontal or no? For instance would a half clamp work or would that just slide down the bar ?

I need to make sure the other lights I buy use powercon correct since my colorbands only have that type of connection? And then I’ll end up with one power connection from each truss that I’ll need to plug into a power bar, so I’ll need 4 free outlets. That sound correct?

What would be the best way for me to power all 12 of these lights (3 per truss) and use the least amount of outlets? I know my colorbands have powercon ins and outs. Haven’t decided on the spots or pars yet so not sure on those.

Agreed won’t be as much light on the band from the back with these being setup lower but I think I’m ok with that.

Hmm good point…. We do IEM but we have three amps. Bass player has the tallest amp which is about 3 feet and I know the colorbands are about 2.5 feet long vertically so that only leaves a foot for the other two. I could mount the colorbands horizontally if needed to solve that issue.

Luckily my bandmate has a van, my car would not be able to transport the 2M either. Hmm yes I’ll have to do the math.

Actually they have a 2m. Invalid Link Removed the base plate is the only thing that worries me a little….this is the only one they have that connects to it and it sounds like it’s not very heavy. Invalid Link Removed

It would just be 4 separate vertical ones rather than having a horizontal connection between them, if that’s what your asking.
