Lighting Equipment Maintenance

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Thu, 14 May 2009 18:08:00 +0000

ANNUAL OVERHAUL

ELLIPSOIDALS

1) EXAMINE CONNECTOR

Is it installed properly?
Strain Relief?
Proper wiring? (green wired to green = ground, black wired to gold = hot, white wired to silver = neutral. Hot separated from ground and neutral.)
Need replacement connectors? Edison/PBG? Stagepin/GSP? Twistlock/TLG?

2) EXAMINE WIRE LEADS

Check for cuts and abrasions. If wire is cut or damaged, replace it. For a quick fix, isolate wires carefully with electrical tape.
Does wire have a protective sleeve? Consider adding a nylon sleeve.

3) REMOVE LAMP BASE (lamp housing)

Remove lamp from socket
Don't touch glass with bare hands. Use a clean cloth.
Need new lamps?

Check for:

Corrosion in socket? replace socket.
Very mild corrosion can be treated with Cramolin.
Loose connections to socket? tighten them.
Ground attached?
Signs of heat/arcing damage? Look for the cause, a loose connection, stray wires, and repair.
Is the lamp the correct one for the fixture?
Reinsert lamp and set base aside someplace safe and clean.
Need new sockets?

4) REMOVE OR OPEN LENS BARREL

Remove lenses and clean with glass cleaner and paper towels.
Make sure you have the correct lenses for the fixture.
Replace broken or badly chipped lenses.
Dust out lens tube.
Reassemble lens barrel.
Make sure appropriate clips, retaining rings, fieldstops, etc., are in proper places.
Tip: If lenses are broken, check that the new lenses are a little loose in the housing, to allow for heat expansion.

5) CHECK SHUTTERS

Insulating knobs on all shutters? Replace knob or shutter if they are missing.
Too tight? Try graphite spray lubricant or 4-Tec DryMoly (no oil lubricants allowed)
Too loose? See if there is a way to add tension to the assembly, or tear apart shutter assembly and see if any plates are missing.
If you do tear apart shutter assembly, keep track of what order the parts belong in.
Too warped? Hammer against a steel plate, or replace.

6) VISUALLY INSPECT EXTERIOR

Can it use a bit of paint? High heat stove paint works well. Do painting while fixture is disassembled to avoid getting paint on lenses.

7) CLEAN REFLECTOR

Use a soft cloth and water or very diluted glass cleaner (ammonia).

8) CHECK ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE

Yoke bolts, handles, etc., all present and working?

Anything stripped, worn or not 'holding'. Replace bad hardware.

Check main c-clamp bolt: does it move freely by hand, or do you need a wrench? Replace bolt if bent or stripped. Lubricate clamp bolts with WD40.

9) REASSEMBLE INSTRUMENT

10) ALIGN INSTRUMENT

Adjust the relationship between the lamp and the reflector for maximum even light output. Method varies by manufacturer, but all adjust both the lamp's depth and its angle in the reflector.

Note: Always compare instruments with others of the same type to tell what parts are needed.

FOR FRESNELS

Same as above, but skip section 5, and you won't need to remove lens to clean it.

On fresnels, check the lens train (spot to flood adjustment) for smooth operation and proper locking (or friction) hold of flood position.

RECOMMENDED TOOL LIST

crescent wrench
screwdrivers
stand for aligning
paper towels
glass cleaner
gloves (to protect hands from heat while aligning)
pop riveter (useful for repairing some instruments, and for replacing insulating knobs on shutters)
"Rocco Wrench" lens ring pliers (or long-nosed pliers) for removing and replacing lens rings
Pin Splitter (for maintaining male stage pin connectors)
4-Tec Dry Moly or Graphite Spray for shutters
Cramolin De-Oxidizer for treating mildly damaged
sockets
GamCheck

Extension Cables for Your Theatre

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 01:37:00 +0000

Why can’t I just use extension cords for my lighting instruments?

We can think of five reasons right off hand:

They’re illegal for use in theatre. Our cables meet the current National Electrical Code for portable stage use.
They're usually made from smaller gauge cable (usually #16) which is easy to overload with high-wattage stage lights.
Their jackets are light-duty. Ours are heavy-duty and built for abuse.
Their jackets are often made of thermoplastic material that can melt when touching hot lights. Ours won't melt.
Their jackets are bright orange or yellow. Ours are a tasteful flat black.

Be smart and use the right kind of cable. We recommend50' Stage Pin, 50' 20amp Twistlock, or 50' Edison / PBG depending on your fixtures. If you need more or less, check out the various cables we have.

The lighting cables we sell are made specifically to connect lighting instruments to a power source (wall outlet or dimmer pack). All are manufactured with black 12/3 SOOW (waterproof SO) cable. For ease of use and storage, they're labeled to indicate cable length. We stock open cable that can be cut to any length and a range of adapters. We offer the service of making custom cables in any length and with any adapters you need.

Creating Fire Effects On Stage

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 01:18:00 +0000

How can we create a fire effect on stage? What about rain and snow?

The easiest way to create these effects is to use a GAM FX Film Wheel with a fire, rain or snow film roll. You can also pair the snow effect with stage snow, re-usable shredded plastic pieces that fall realistically to simulate snowfall.

For fire, we also recommend Le Maitre's Le Flame. Le Flame is a silk flame effect. It uses a combination of air flow, light and fabric to create a realistic flame effect. Perfect if need that fire effect under a cauldron or in a fireplace.

There's also the Martin Mania effect unit, that generates intense, hypnotic flame effects. Allows you to blur edges and vary speed to change effect from a cozy flicker to a raging inferno. No cool-down periods are needed, so the fire can blaze as long as you do.

Priming / Base Coats on Flats and Drops

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:07:00 +0000

What should I use to prime or base coat my flats and drops?

That depends on your final desired effect, and how you plan on getting there. As usual, different methods will yield different results.

Priming serves to:

* Size (tighten) the fabric

* Provide a smooth painting surface.

* Saturate the fibers so they don't soak up expensive pigments

* Flameproof (when needed)

* and, in some cases, provide the base color for the rest of the painting.

Several products can be used for priming drops and flats, including scenic paint (a special primer or regular scene paint), gelatin glue and whiting, white glue, or starch.

Leftover Scene Paint: If a brown or gray base color works for your design, mix leftover scene paint together, add white if you need more paint, and water it down to a milky consistency. Add Flamex if you want to flameproof. What a great way to cut down on waste and save money!

We don't recommend mixing leftover house paint to make a primer. The fillers will gum up the fabric, and the binder may not hold well when watered down. Your flats may look chalky and will crack before their time. Also, Flamex may not mix properly with all house paints, but is designed to mix well with all Rosco Scenic paints (Iddings Deep Color, SuperSat, Off Broadway).

Priming White: You can't beat Rosco's ready made primer for speed and ease of use. Priming White, designed for priming new muslin, is less expensive than other scene paints, yet offers the same quality treatment for your fabric. It dries off white, a nice neutral starting color for the rest of your painting.

Gelatin Glue: The traditional primer is made from gelatin glue, water, and dry whiting. Soak one part gelatin glue in one part cold water for one hour, then heat in a double boiler until glue is completely dissolved. Mix one part of this hot glue with ten parts hot water to make glue size. Mix one part glue size with one part dry whiting and you have got your primer.

Laundry Starch: For translucent drops, try priming with Argo Gloss Laundry Starch. Dissolve one pound starch in one gallon cold water. Then slowly pour the starch into three gallons of boiling water, stirring constantly. Let it cool, then strain into a paint sprayer. One person sprays ahead while a second person follows brushing the starch solution into the cloth.

White Glue: If you have a lot of white glue In your shop, try mixing it very thin and using it for a primer. It dries clear but not flexible, so is not useful for painting drops.

Regardless of the primer you choose, these guidelines should be followed:

Keep it thin. The primer should be watered down to the consistency of milk. Don't apply it too thick; just enough to soak the fabric but not leave much of a layer on top. The thinner your base coat the more layers your muslin will take before cracking.

Work it in. Use a big brush and crisscrossing strokes to work the liquid into the muslin. Don't let it just sit on top.

Flameproof now. Flameproofing is most effective at this stage. You can use Rosco's Flamex alone as a primer, but mixing it with scenic paint makes it easier to apply and saves the extra step. See Flameproofing info on back.

Conserve money and energy. Choose your primer to match your needs and accomplish as much as you can with that coat. When possible, prime and flameproof all in one step. It is often useful to tint the prime coat with dry pigments or scene paint to a pastel of the following base coat. For instance, a brown base coat will cover beige better than it will cover white. But don't add too much pigment.... the whole point is to keep it thin and light.

Practice. The more you work with the products, the easier it will be to choose the right primer for the job.

Priming Foams and Metal And Other Surfaces

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 01:48:00 +0000

What about priming foams and metal?

A. Different products are geared for priming different materials. Rosco's Tough Prime sticks to almost anything, and is designed for priming metals and plastics.

Q. The columns we just built have a variety of surfaces that may or may not take paint the same way, what can we do?

A. Sculpt or Coat will cover a variety of different surfaces including foam, wood, fabric, plastic, glass and metals. Use Sculpt or Coat to make one uniform and paintable surface. Great for props and maskmaking. You can also use Sculpt or Coat and cheesecloth to prime and strengthen the surface in one step. This method is also used to 'even out' different surfaces to make them appear to be made of the same material.

Q. We need to create durable ponds and pools of water on stage. What can we use that is water-resistant and will create a useful texture?

A. Foamcoat, the only water-resistant priming product PNTA carries, provides a durable coating that withstands chipping and cracking. Use Foamcoat for coating foam, concrete, fiberglass and other tough-to-cover materials.

Different Types of Filters

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 01:33:00 +0000

Are filters used just for adding color, or are there other applications?

Filters are used for a variety of effects:

Color changes the mood or look of your stage.
Color correction changes the color temperature of a light source.
Neutral density filters cut a light's intensity without changing its color.
CalColor is a series of effects filters designed specifically to the spectral sensitivity of color film.
High temp filters are more heat resistant and help to reduce saturated color burnout.
Diffusion softens a beam of light.
Reflection materials made of durable, washable plastic laminate are used to surface reflector boards.
Polarizing filters help reduce the glare of reflection from glass, water and shiny metal objects. For photography, they are especially effective when used in conjunction with a polarizing filter at the lens (cross polarization).

Portable Sound Systems and Feedback

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 01:23:00 +0000

We’re using a portable sound system and getting feedback. What should we do?

It's important to keep the microphone out of the coverage pattern of the speakers. You want to set up the system so the speaker energy goes out to the audience, not back into the microphone.

A basic rule of sound systems is get the speakers up, preferably at least three feet above audience head height. This ensures the sound will get to the audience members at the rear and doesn’t blast out the people in front.

Set up the system so the speakers are in front of the microphone. The mic should not be pointing at the speakers. Don’t walk right in front of the speakers with an open mic.

Also, avoid using too much gain. If you find that you're holding the mic over a foot from your mouth, reduce the system gain and work six inches or less from the mic.

If you are looking for a good reference books, PNTA recommends the following:

Sound And Music For the Theatre

Sound Reinforcement Handbook

Theatre Math!

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 00:35:00 +0000

How do I calculate the coverage of an ellipsoidal?
You can calculate the coverage from any throw distance with the following formula:

Multiplying Factor x Throw Distance = Diameter of Area Covered
(MF x T = D)

One of PNTA's favorite resources is Photometrics Handbook, it contains full specs on virtually every instrument a lighting designer is likely to encounter. It's clearly and consistently formatted, this is an essential tool for any designer who never plans to leave home.

FAQ: Fog and Haze

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:48:00 +0000

I’m not sure whether to get a dry ice fogger or a chemical fogger. What's the difference?
It depends on what you want to do. Dry ice fog hugs the ground, dissipating relatively quickly much like real fog will do. Chemical fog floats and disperses in the air, taking a longer time to dissipate. The overall effect is more like smoke. Sometimes a fog machine will be called a smoke machine.

We recommend the Rosco 1900 Fog machine for more realistic smoke effects and the Le Maitre Peasouper Dry Ice Fogger for more realistic fog effects.

How is a hazer different from a fogger?
A hazer fills a room with long-lasting, even mist or haze for atmospheric effects that enhance the visibility of shafts of light. With haze, you can turn your dance floor into a 3-D canvas for moving lights and lasers. Hazers use low heat and very little fluid and they produce a dry, odorless haze.

One of our favorite products? Haze-In-A-Can.

The Basic Types of Lighting Fixtures

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:48:00 +0000

Needs some lights? Not sure what kind?

Lighting instruments can be broken down into four main categories: focused, wash, intelligent and specialty/task.

Focused Lighting
Ellipsoidal, reflector-based instruments, such as the ETC Source Four™, Altman 360 series, Altman Shakespeare and Strand SL allow a focused or purposely unfocused light to illuminate a specific area. Shutters allow you to “frame” the beam down to a defined area. This is the main tool of the stage lighting designer. “Mini” or “baby” ellipsoidals serve the same task on a smaller scale. A tight beam can be used for a special and a broad beam can wash an entire area. Zoom ellipsoidals offer even more flexibility.

Fresnel instruments are most useful for short throw, small area lighting and have a soft-edged beam.

PARs are little more than a housing for a lamp and clips for a color frame; the housing reduces light spill. Their job is to add color and light to specific areas of the stage.

Followspots, while perhaps deserving of their own category, are essentially an ellipsoidal on a stand with handles added to control everything.

Wash Lighting
Scoops, borders and cyc lights are all intended to cover large areas with light. Scoops provide a wide-spread, soft-edged beam of flat, even light. Border and cyc lights are good for down-lighting and for drops; they can also be used on the floor. Often they are multiple-lamp units, available in various lengths and circuit configurations. They provide soft, even light and very wide coverage.

Intelligent Lighting
These instruments perform a wide variety of tasks, including pan and tilt, color change, focus and iris, all controllable from a lighting console to preclude the need for multiple instruments to perform a set of different tasks.

Specialty and Task Lighting
This category includes music stand lights, Littlites and a wide variety of work lights for lighting everything from a sound console in the back of a dark theatre to placing a gobo or other image in the exact place you need it.

Edison (PBG) Twistlock (TLG) and Stage Pin (GSP)

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:52:00 +0000

What’s the difference between Edison, twist-lock and stage pin connectors?
Edisons (PBGs) are the standard three-pin household plug. Twist-lock connectors (TLGs) have three pins arranged in a circle. Stage pin connectors (GSPs) are flat with pins arranged in a row.

What’s the right way to install a 20A stage pin connector?
The green (ground) wire attaches to the center (longest) pin.
The white (neutral) wire attaches to the pin closest to the ground pin.
The black (hot) wire attaches to the pin farthest from the ground pin.

What’s the right way to install an Edison connector?
Attach the green wire to the green screw at the U-shaped prong and tighten the screw.
Attach the white wire to the silver screw at the wider blade and tighten the screw.
Attach the black wire to the gold screw at the narrow blade and tighten the screw.

What's the right way to install a twist-lock connector?
Attach the green wire to the green screw on the L-shaped prong.
Attach the white wire to the silver prong.
Attach the black wire to the gold or black prong.

PNTA's Basic And Favorite Gel Colors

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:24:00 +0000

I just want some color. What are the basics?
Basic theatre colors are amber, blue and neutral. To get an attractive wash of light, aim amber from one side of the stage, blue from the other side and neutral straight on. Colors currently most used for lighting productions are Bastard Amber, Surprise Pink and No Color Blue. If you want to keep a variety of colors on hand, check out PNTA color packs for theatre, party or film. They give you a convenient mix of colors in pre-cut sheets.

GAMColor 364 Pale Honey, is also a great alternative to Bastard Amber.

Some of PNTA's staff favorites at are:

Roscolux 39 Skelton Exotic Sangria - is an excellent gel for parties

Lee 027 Medium Red - one of the best deep saturated blood red, perfect for concerts and parties , great for creating dark moods on stage too

Lee 323 Jade - another fun party color

Roscolux 34 Flesh Pink - Creates a happy atmosphere, perfect equivelent to Breast Cancer Pink

GamColor 930 Real Congo Blue - 'Awesome', similar to the purple hue given off by black lights

Lee 088 Lime Green - a versatile bright springy green

Lee 707 Ultimate Violet- we're in Seattle, casually known in our shop as 'Husky Purple'; also a beautiful saturated purple

GamColor 845 Cobalt- nice deep saturated cobalt blue

Roscolux 376 Bermuda Blue - nice and romantic blue

How To Create Scars

noreply@blogger.com (PNTA Web Guru) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:57:00 +0000

How can we create scars?

Scars are made with liquid latex, Ridgid Collodion or with nose and scar wax. With liquid latex, create a mold, pour in liquid latex. When dry, remove and affix with spirit gum. Remeber to powder the latex to keep it from sticking.

Kryolan Rigid Collodian is effective for realistic cuts and scars. For scars: Apply with brush. Scar "puckers" as it dries. No additional makeup required. Very cool, quick effect. You can also ise collodian for creating wrinkles; just stretch skin, apply, let dry, then release skin.

Nose and scar wax molds easily to ones face so you can create a scar as large or small as you like.

For a more realistic look, you can add Fresh Scab or Thick Blood.

Ben Nye also makes a Gel Wound Kit that is available at PNTA’s Online Store and Seattle showroom. It has everything you need, including detailed instructions.
