Lighting Equipment How much would it cost for lighting equipment if I were putting on a play at Delacorte Theater.?
I'm doing an assignment for my theater class and I'm having trouble finding information. I need an approximate cost for lighting equipment if I were putting on a play at Delacorte Theater in NY. I've been trying to find information on how much has been paid in the past for theater lighting at Delacorte Theater. But I'm not having much luck. Any info would be helpful.
Y ou have picked an impossible subject. The Theatre does not have anything except the empty stage and curtians, an a few pieces of house owned equipment. Each show that plays there, only rents the space and the house owned equipment, they must bring in everything else for each production. YOu see, you don't put on a play at the theatre per se, you produce the play and then rent the theatre for a chunk of the box office each week until the receipts fall below a certain amount and then you are evicted.They don't give out that info to the public because of the enormous waste of equipement that is involved in professional theatre. They actually scrap all the lighting equipment except for certain 'house owned pieces' such as follow spots and switchboards perhaps, but the regular spotlights and the cable to connect them, etc, would all be thrown out or sold as used as the end of eah production. Thus, it all has to be installed new at the begining of each production's stay at the theatre. You can only imangine how terribly expensive allt that would cost. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars. All the scenery is carted to the dump when the show closes as well.

Indoor Gardeners Experience Many Benefits From the Supernova LED Grow Light
Indoor gardeners are agog with the introduction of the latest LED grow light to hit the market--the Supernova LED. This family of LED grow lights offers improved light output for a fraction of the cost of using HID or other ordinary types of grow lights. Gardeners are impressed with its light coverage, increased light spectrum control, and cool running temperatures, among a wealth of improvements it brings to ordinary grow lamps.
The Supernova grow light offers an increased light coverage when compared with other LED grow lights. While other good LED grow lights offer a three foot by three foot area with good light coverage, the Supernova LED adds an additional two feet to that, for a total of five square feet of coverage area. These grow lights are designed to be space saving yet very powerful. The Supernova LED achieves this large coverage through the clever use of seven individual circuit boards. This allows the light to flow out of the unit at different angles, and this unique design provides for its improved light coverage that your plants will appreciate.
When you purchase an ordinary grow lamp, it comes with a particular color temperature and color tone built in. This is also the case with the Supernova LED grow light, but with the major benefit of allowing you the flexibility to change the color spectrum as you wish. This is accomplished through independently adjustable spectrum control. In addition to this flexibility, the Supernova LED also comes in an enhanced spectrum version, providing you with six more custom LED light spectrums at your fingertips. While young plants require the blue light spectrum for growth, mature plants need red and orange light in order to produce fruits and flowers, so if you can adjust your light to meet their specific needs, they will experience much better growth rates. This unique light allows you to fine tune your light to exactly what your plants require, unlike any other grow light available.
Ordinary grow lights have a side effect, after being on for a length of time, of increasing heat temperature, so much so that extra equipment must be used so that the lighting equipment does not overheat and malfunction. LED grow lights such as the Supernova LED avoid this issue because they have fans built into the units. This keeps the Supernova LED lights cool, and avoids entirely the need for ducting and air-cooled reflectors, which offers a tremendous cost savings to the the indoor gardener. The grower can use these funds to purchase hydroponics supplies and equipment for other areas of their gardening enterprise.
A Supernova LED grow light is a new innovation in indoor gardening lighting that will offer superb lighting for your plants while saving you money.
