Hi Todd,

It will be used for video distribution via the Internet once we get setup. The plan is to do episodic web TV shows followed by special events broadcast live via the Net. It is similar (though not a clone) to the WWE model if you are familiar.

I have no problem using tungsten to get started. The room is air conditioned so heat shouldn’t be a problem regardless. The ability to have custom color lighting profiles out of the gate is certainly alluring, which the LEDs provide, but I am much more concerned with giving us the highest production value for the buck while the wrestlers are in the ring. Having the ability to make entrances look unique is a big deal, but not the biggest.

I guess my question is how much control can I have over PARs as it relates to dimming. It seems that blows the budget up quickly but again, I probably have no idea what I am looking at lol.

Thanks!

Nope. In fact, I amy be able to get some used equipment locally through a friend who works with a touring company. He’s a sound guy so that’s why I don’t lean on him for this but he says they have equipment just sitting around the company might be willing to sell at a discount.

Thanks for helping on this Mark. Really appreciate it!

Yeah I realized after I clicked post I had left a lot out. I was frustrated lol.

One quick correction, it would be a 28×28 truss.

I want to keep it under $5K. I don’t even know if that is possible. I have $5K allotted elsewhere but that is a killable project if I need to bring it over for lights. That’s about all the blood I can get out of that turnip.

I very much want to be able to blackout these lights for ring entrances if possible. If I could also dim them for video projection that would be ideal.

To be honest I was just going to order 36 of the “low profile” DJ led cans thinking that would give me colr options but I decided to seek input before I screwed everything up.
