Low power portable theatrical lighting
Aloha all!
Way back in undergrad, I was a theatre lighting guy. Even won a couple of regional awards. Then I graduated, got a job in video, and haven’t looked back for decades.
Things change. My boo has started a new theatre company, one with a commitment to “in your space” theatre. And, in the process, drafted me as both the video guy and the lighting guy.
As far as I can tell, what “in your space” really means is “no heavy wiring.” Most of the spaces we’ve examined have only 2 or 3 circuits, and those are typical 15 amp household breakers.
So, thus begins the search. I need a lighting system that:
1. is portable
2. uses very little power
3. is DMX compatible
4. costs no moneyObviously #4 is an issue, but for purposes of this discussion, we can ignore it. Thankfully, I am not the business manager!
I have, of course, done some Google searches on the subject, and found more information than I can categorize, much less assimilate. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Mahalo,

I was going to suggest 12-volt automobile headlights, until you asked for DMX control 🙂
