Yeah, we know you haven’t thought about COVID-19 for like…ten seconds, but here we are anyway, talking about it. At least, like, a little. It’s the episode featuring the OG Lighting Nerd, Gavin Lake! Say hello, Gavin.
In this episode:
- Industry news:
- God almighty, the mother effing coronavirus.
- Wash your hands, blah blah, let’s commiserate about how super effed we all are.
- New fixtures / gear
- Are high-powered arc-source moving lights a thing of the past for good? Craig and Gavin ponder.

- Now we can have EVEN MORE X4 BAR
- Cable testers: handy to have around, not as handy when you don’t have both ends as the same standard: https://plsn.com/featured/whirlwind-power-link-tlt-line-cord-testers/
- Screen calibrator: The Hydra is a thing that exists, I think the tech will become more used and the prices will drop, and we’ll start to see these as standard on more shows to keep LED screens looking good.
- Notable personnel movements
- Tyler Truss now owned by Glenn Cleland, previously owned by Mark Dodd of Dodd Technologies, which seems to be a production company.
