Reviews say they are very small clips
I printed several sizes of these type of clips, and in the end I didnt like using them.
My tech rider has a 20A circuit just for my rig (not for the rest of the stage gear, the PA or lights). It often gets a raised eyebrow, but boy do people get crotchety 2 minutes into the first song when the stage goes black and part or all of the FOH goes dead.
Makes sense to me, and I'd do the same. I mean in reality a tech rider is just a request anyway. Years ago when I was a talent buyer at a night club, we'd get all sorts of riders with silly requests, and I'd just get out my red pen and start crossing things out, then send it back to the agent. They wouldn't always be happy, but were already pretty much locked in at that point, plus they should have read my offer sheet better, where we clearly wrote "house sounds and lights". My buddy is a sound guy, and he has it on his rider that he won't use certain consoles unless they buy him a bag of weed. He says that he has gotten several bags of weed that way. I also remember way back in the day when I was on tour, I once had to run a long extension cord to the kitchen just to get a free 20A circuit for the small lighting rig we carried.
OK amigo, I am no electrician but I've done a good deal of it. I usually pull the breaker and check the gauge of the wire for said circuit. If your wire is 14 gauge or larger, I would up that breaker to 20 amps. I also pull a few receptacles' and check the gauge at the box as well. I bought an old home in Colorado which was wired very poorly. It seems that in order to pass inspection the previous owner spliced 6" pieces of 12G copper to the receptacles then they just wire nutted that to the 14G Aluminum which the whole home had. I rewired the entire house in 12-2 wg just so i could feel safe. Never assume what came before you has been done correctly. Good luck...Good point. Now that you mention it, lights on a surge protector might not be a good idea either? My breakers aren't necessarily my worry, its more the wiring I worry about. My place was built in the mid 70s and I'm not sure about the quality. It would be extremely difficult for me to change out the wiring and seeing how my room is on a 15 Amp breaker, the wires are prolly not that great.
Thanks for the tip. I'm not an electrician by no means either. I did wire a grow room in Cali back in 2011 with both 120 and 240 and had to create the 240 circuit. The box didn't have a main shut off so I had to do it while it was live.
Pleasantly surprised with these. bought one for my grandma and liked it so much bought two to replace my veg light.
Does seem like a nice light. Which light did they replace?
Replaced a mars hydro ts600, relegated the mars to over wintering my jacaranda
So many clubs with really shitty power or who haven't bothered to figure out how the power needs to work. It used to be smaller clubs or bars when it used to be things like the beer fridge would be on the same circuit or maybe the window neons, etc. Later it was bigger rooms but we'd find the 'production' (lights, smoke machines, etc) would be tied into the same circuit...that shit is hard to suss because you're not using it during check, but come showtime, all that is running and what was clean and perfect for check gets ugly fast.
Thanks for this. Grabbed at 11$ with tax. Even if it it doesn't last forever and I outgrow it, the extra snips are worth it alone.
Shit looks like I gotta buy this just to see what a $65 dehumidifier looks like lol
If at the very least so you can sleep next to it mid-summer at 45db while it pumps out all that heat.
Just noticed I never added a link
The code is not working??
