Worst piece of equipment you ever bought?

Do you still use the 40w tube?

No. I have an S&H starcloth booth, so it wouldn't go on the front of the deck stand where I used to put it.

To be honest i think that UV Cannons has had its day and has now been replaced either by LED star clothes, LED effects or alot of lighting has built in UV on the colour wheels.

Infact the worst piece of gear i owned was a gemni mixer where i over drove it for a few seconds and the master channel got damaged causing it to fade songs when ever it liked and you had to bash it to get it to come back to the right volume.

Slightly off topic but while star cloths are in conversation I'm considering buying a star cloth. I've seen and heard all about the cheap Prolight 1's, S&H and NJD. I want a star cloth with a none shiny material so I've found out that S&H use wool serge material which I believe is a none shiny material and they charge around 500 for a relatively small skirt. Now NJD do a wool serge star cloth for a very sensible 150 quid which is coming in at around 3 metres by 2 metres. I think you pay for the name really. Why spend 500+ on something you can get for 150 quid?

I've never understood why they charge so much for Starcloths, considering what they are. There are far more advanced pieces of equipment selling for a lot less, and the materials in a Starcloth are not particularly expensive either.

Skirt?

It's not just a cloth - it's a booth too and the cloth fits it impeccably.

Not sure about the others, but the S&H one is fire proof.

No, my conversation isnt directly aimed at your booth but S&H in general.

So is this, that still doesn't justify £100s for it.

Does your use LED or the pea light type?

Have you ever had to change the LED/pea lights? How easy are they to replace?

I suppose 1 can take an emergency box which has say a fire blanket, a fire extinguisher and maybe a few other bits n pieces.
