Richeh   10 #27 Posted August 20, 2009 Entire lighting set up is about 760,000W...  You could almost power a time-travelling Delorean with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mughead   10 #28 Posted August 20, 2009 i saw these lastnight.. at first i thought id spotted something rather exciting but then i realised it was just light beams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jengo   10 #29 Posted August 20, 2009 It's probably the 4500W BigLites up at Don Valley. There are 8 of them in use, and they have a very narrow beam (~5deg), so can be seen for miles (outdoor use normally requires informing the CAA). Entire lighting set up is about 760,000W...  That's not a lot - thats only 1,000 amps a phase... They must be scaling back 'cos of the lekky bill! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jengo   10 #32 Posted August 20, 2009 Well its not how many lamps you have its how you use them is what I always say. I remember working on Meatloaf and they had these stupid truss towers with christ knows how many strobes what were constantly on - I have no idea how Meatloaf didn't have a fit.
