May I recommend showing or talking about throw distance? Or coverage on a big stage (90’ wide by 40’ deep) open stage (no proscenium or side curtains)? In other words, suitability in small or large venues. This would be applicable for DJs or theatre productions or church services. Please consider it if it will fit your audience.

[@musikomago8120]

Yes for this!

[@djsmoothmasterz]

Thanks David 😊

I would rather a more vibrant blue. Always found that HEX pars that have UV tend to have a less vibrant blue. For colour mixing you’ll want a blue on more on the violet side. Your pinks will look better, more realistic lavenders. I think fixtures with weaker blues need the UV to give the blues more of a punch when mixing with other colours. I also think a green that shift more towards yellow will be great for creating yellows and golds. These are some of the hardest colours to make accurately. Great rundown on both.

Great video. I bought 8 lights similar to the eliminator but an getting lots of buzzing noise on my JBLs. I bought a couple of power conditioners and try to keep stuff separate but no luck. All buzz especially with all white lights. Would be great to get your advice on that or even better a video on that topic. I'm sure I can't be the only one. Thanks

[@CometaMusic]

[@samueldeter9735]

I like the wall on your left background what type of material is it?

[@TylerMarletteNY]

I’m looking for a powerful par with a really tight beam angle (like a zoom wash fixture zoomed in) for the look of the beam only not to illuminate anything Suggestions?

[@LearnStageLighting]

We'd probably look at pars with interchangeable lenses or ones that zoom - feel free to fill out our quote request at www.learnstagelightinggear.com with a little more info of how far it'll throw and what other lights you use with it, and we can give you an option that fits your needs a little better.

Nice vid can you do a tutorial on MagicQ software

[@LearnStageLighting]

Hi Nathan - I've chosen to only cover ONYX on the professional-level so that I can provide complete and up-to-date resources. Here's a little more info on why I think ONYX is the best choice for many of my viewers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYTRk32fqLuabas

[@TFaminu]

Thanks brother! Jesus loves you!!

[@RallyGord]

I’m wondering if the difference in UV between the fixtures might have been due to wavelength? With a classic UV tube being about 365nm and led fixtures ranging higher above 400nm. (More visible light less actual black light effect)

[@lauramariadelrealavila7843]

hi! i'am looking forward buying some lights for musical theatre shows here in latin america specifically in Colombia. do you recommend any enterprise or company that will definitely take care of the machines during bringing them and once they arrive here to my country? thanks in advice for your recommends!

[@LearnStageLighting]

Yes - gammaledvision.com - they are good friends of mine and are actually Columbians too!

[@udayabhanu6210]

I am searching for a light for a shadow play. I want the shadows to be projected on a big curtain and they should be life size. Can you please suggest a good light for me?

[@LearnStageLighting]

Without having more info, I can't give an exact recommendation. But that's okay. What you are looking for is a Spot-type light (not a par like this video discusses), and then the lensing needs to be correct so that it fills your screen at whatever distance you are shooting the light. If you have 20+ feet to shoot the light to the screen you will get better results than if the light is closer to the screen.

[@1mgberg]

Slightly off topic, but.... I couldn't help but notice the sic acoustical panels on the wall! What are they and where did you pick them up? Oh, and it's Gamma all the way.

[@LearnStageLighting]

I wouldn't call the panels acoustic (they are not), but they look cool and are on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Art3d-Decorative-Panels-Diamond-Design/dp/B00S2JQEME/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=wall+panels&qid=1651079522&sr=8-5

[@LearnStageLighting]

When I bought them, the tiles I got were "plant fiber', which is like cardboard....they now make this model in PVC, which I'm not sure I like as much. But, look at "wall panels" on Amazon and you will see many options.

[@Aslantics]

What about 7x9? Is it worth it

[@LearnStageLighting]

I think so
