The lighting in the main hall isn't working and our site team has advised it's the controller that's the problem. There's a DMX out and in where the old one used to plug into. I'm guessing we only need a controller that does DMX out but I just want to make sure that's correct. If so do you guys have any recommendations??? Also I know that cable looks dodgy but apparently they have done "All of their tests".

I've been assigned another job role that involves me working with drama to make use of all the equipment (sound and lighting). We have loooooads of space and a decent stage. However, I also get to shop around for new sound and lighting items. Does anyone have any good recommendations? Ideally they need a website, cheap and have a good record with your school. I've googled a few items I have been told to order, but the cheapest places are eBay. eBay are selling items extreeeeemely cheaply but the quantities we are after would not be ideal doing it via a school account. Thank you! Much Appreciated!

I've just been told to get for Thursday my 'ideal' lighting setup for our new build 280sqm hall with 12sqm(expandable) stage, 220+ capacity, . Including weights and rigging. I'm not too sure where to start, found a basic package that looks good from an australian company, but can't see much without having a site survey (of a room not yet built) from UK Companies. Anyone want to share what you've got/what your ideal system would be? This is to go with school shows, and even if we can't get the actual lights permanently, the rigging needs to be able to suspend what we'd need for a school show... I've also got a 140m2 hall to think about having lighting effects in too... I'm a bit stuck!! Thanks, Laura
