Does anyone have any suggestions for LED houselight replacements? I seem to be hitting a wall in terms of what we have vs what's on offer. Our house uses a massive number of incandescent generic flood bulbs in banks of 4 in track lighting configuration. Best seen here. We only ever use the houselights proportioned... Orchestra at 67%, Balcony at 43%.
A "suggestion" was made by facilities to upgrade to CANTOUSA Retro Series.
The idea of spitting out this much pocket change while still using the conventional dimming system isn't sitting well with me. Yet the thought of having to install data to 250 smart fixtures like Chroma Q or The Light Source is more daunting. (Switching out an ETC dimmer card to a Constant Current card is easy.) The one place where you could really use Lumen Radio equipped devices and you have nothing.
Anyone have any suggestions I'm not seeing?
I am currently looking into changing the house lights in my venue over to LED lights. There are some concerns over brightness compared to the old halogen lamps. I was wondering if anyone has moved to LED houselights and what your thoughts were. The house is a two tiered house that seats about 1700. Average house light throw is about 40 feet.
Alright folks,
I work at a small regional theatre, and for houselights in our main auditorium we're currently using 15x 650W fresnels which are hardwired into our dimmer rack and can be controlled independently of our LX console using panels similar to a ChilliNet.
For a myriad of reasons (chief among which is that they keep blowing, they're a pain to access, and T27 lamps are expensive) we're looking to replace them. I've hit on the idea of swapping them out for dimmable LEDs, but have no clue where to start looking, or even if it's possible to do without a full re-wire. Any ideas?
tl;dr - Trying to replace tungsten houselights with LED. Need ideas, because I have no clue.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?

Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
I won't be doing that today!
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
