Desklights are non-dimmable

[mrfrog]

During a recent show with the Bullfrog we needed the deaklamps to be dimmable and upon entering the menu we found that unlike our previous board they were not. Obviously we had our scripts (white paper) under the lamps and the spill lit up the lighting booth like a floodlamp, and it also ruins night-vision (trying to see when the stage is clear etc). It would be great if this feature could be implemented in a future version of the Frog. Thanks

Had that problem before, just put a small piece of color filter on your desklamp. Just watch out with the color, you don't want people to think the are in a 'red light district' 8)

If the desk contains the STMain 2 processing board (which all Bull Frogs have), then theoretically this would be possible with a change to the software.

 

Frog Reference No 5492 - Desk Light dimmable under software control - to be reviewed.

LEE 119 does the trick

Or 220: reduces 2 stops

we normally use a separate dimmable gooseneck light

Install a separate dimmer pack in your booth so you can implement your gooseneck´s in the plot 8) :mrgreen:

 

Please don´t take me serious.

That isn't a stupid idea, just get one of those el-cheapo 1 ch dmx dimmers

Just program a decent show, install a footswitch and you've got no use for the entire console The GO button is a wonderful thing

I want your easy live Ice

 

Are you Programming one show per month or more ?

 

I program every weekend a one or two new ones - they aren´t perfect - that´s why I have to use all the desk abilities.... at live situations ...

Thats almost as silly as the parcan pizza oven we installed in our dimmer room and programmed into the console, so that by interval the pizza was perfectly cooked... mmm.... lol on a serious note we could just use a spare dimmer channel cus the dimmer room is right next to the booth.

 

Thanks for the ideas and the Frog Reference
