Lighting Information and Resources

We know that not everyone will be joining our team with the same level of experience or exposure to the equipment that we use on a regular basis. Veterans and Novices alike can find useful information and resources about our lighting equipment and what we expect on our events here.

Tools

We expect all of our stagehands, production technicians and automated lighting technicians to come prepared for Lighting/Electrical and General labor tasks that can be expected within the special events industry. Listed below are tools and accessories broken down into mandatory everyday carry items, as well as items that we feel increase an individual’s productivity. Tool List

Source4s & Ovations

We have both traditional source4 and the newer ColorMixing LED Ovation units from Chauvet Professional.

Astera Fixtures

Astera Wireless Fixtures are a significant part of the designs and solutions we provide our clients for each and every event. There is a wide variety of fixtures, from Effect Tubes, Battens, PARs, and small uplights. They all work in their own App-Based ecosystem, but can also be setup to be controlled via W-DMX or CRMX DMX signal from a lighting console. Here is a quick starter guide to the Astera Eco-System, as well as several videos (Needs Links) to help you master these fixtures.

Consoles

We have 3 types of consoles in our inventory, basic 2 Scene Fader (12/24), LED ColorMixing (Jands Stage CL) and moving light consoles (GrandMA2 and 3 Series). Smaller events that do not have any moving lights or very complicated effects will typically use the Jands or 2-Scene consoles. We rely on our MA2 and MA3 consoles to program any of our events with moving lights. Our programmers and show call technicians bring their lighting expertise to life with these consoles, and their talents have led them master these consoles. Here are some introductory videos and guides to the consoles.
