From Karl Ruling at ESTA:


Draft Guide for Luminaire Inspection Now Available for Review
BSR E1.32 - 201x, Guide for the Inspection of Entertainment Industry Luminaires, is available for public review at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php through 25 October 2010. The document is intended to provide guidance in the inspection of stage and studio luminaires used in the entertainment industry to evaluate their safety and any needed maintenance. An employer could write his own safety inspection procedures from scratch as part of his duty to provide a safe workplace, but borrowing from or adopting the final version of this document might be easier and lead to a better set of procedures.

The public review is over when the "Review End Date" shown on the website of October 26, 2010 starts. Comments should be submitted before then.

Reviewers also are requested to look for protected intellectual property in the document. ESTA does not intend to adopt any standard that requires the use of protected intellectual property, unless the use of that property is essential for technical reasons, and can be licensed and used by anyone without prejudice or preference for a reasonable fee.

Hello guys!

I’ve just added a discussion to the group "Lighting Designers" about the theoretical side of a new trend called ARCHITAINMENT and I would appreciate if anyone could go there and help me a bit. It’s for my Graduate Architecture School’s Thesis…and the deadline for my pre-thesis paper is about 3 weeks away.

I need to take 2 theoretical points of view (at least 1 author per POV) regarding the main topic of my thesis: architectural lighting and architainment. I then need to confront/problematize them with each other in order to come out with a main problem to be studied/investigated as my thesis. I have an idea, but would like to hear some of yours. Here’s the link for the discussion:

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!

Good tools for the toolbox!

When you have equipment with 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connectors the CPOINT XLRJ45 adapter will come in handy. There are four different version available, 3-pin or 5-pin male or female. All you need is a RJ45 cable and you can make any kind of DMX cable.
Made by CPOINT available from TMB.

We have built a 3" square DMX/RDM 100 watt 4 channel LED driver card with all the bells and whistles to power our innovative FantaLED fixtures which we will be introducing late summer. We are looking for independent test sites or custom config's for the board.

Hey Richard,
Pretty much the same scenario as you guys across the pond. Things did slow down quite a bit a few weeks back but thankfully they have recently started to pick up again. Hopefully the trend will keep up for all of us.

How's business since the economic slowdown? I spoke to Robert Mokry at LightParts (your counterpart in the US) a couple of months ago and he said their business had slowed down. That surprised me b/c I thought people would hold on to their gear longer and opt to repair it rather than buy new in this economy. But then I spoke to him yesterday and he said business had picked up considerably.
