Hi Guys & Gals,

any good ideas on a light controller to go with a standmate extenstion?? have trouble finding one that has the right connections for it. :bang: :please:

also what do you reckon if you had a choice firebird or valera for a good all round light effect??

Are you using par cans or pinspots or something with it Matt? Anything with a "Bulgin" output connector will do the job. Just check the max load per channel.

thats what i'm after, but i really prefered a 4 channel one that lets me select certain light at different times. but thats great what you've suggested.:beer1:

Well this (http://www.terralec.co.uk/prod.asp?i=19154&1=PATTERN_CHASER) is the one up from the last one i suggested and I'm pretty sure it does what you want. You can stop it on any channel and manually "step" through them. Thus giving the effect of Selecting a light? Or did you want something to run effects from? Like a mushroom or double derby or something. If so then you might want to swap the bulgin plug on the end of your standmate with an IEC, and run it into a switch panel.

Both of the ones shown are chasers, I think what is wanted is something like the effects sde of this NJD 4004s (https://secure.handzon.com/itechapp/admin/checkout/?storeid=205&prodid=5644&storereferer=http://www.capitaldiscos.co.uk/?pageid=5527#) which has bulgin output compatabler with standmates.
If you use spot boxes &/or screens too this is the controller you want.

We still have some of these in use from the days before iColor o switch the lights on our smaller rigs (the chase side isn't used)
