Lighting Equipment

This is the equipment we have for lighting the dance floor.

It is all DMX controlled.

DMX Controllers

DMX controlled lights

Power cables

Note there are two kinds. Neutrik PowerCon is the old kind("blue and grey"), shown here on the left -- it is not designed to be unplugged under load. Neutrik True1 is the new kind which can be unplugged under load and is therefore safer.

DMX cables

DMX cables come in 5-pin and 3-pin variations. Note that ten of our PAR lights use 5-pin and everything else is 3-pin.

Did you know - DMX cables, used for lighting control, look the same as XLR cables, used for speakers, but they have a different impedance, so don't mix them up.

The last "output" in a chain of DMX cables must have a terminator on it.
