Cheap stage lighting system for theater?
I'm doing a play with a small theater group. Really, really small. Homemade stage and all that. I need to get 4 flood lights on stands that have the ability to be turned on and off remotely. Cheap is the key word. They necessarily have to be "stage lights", just flood lights on stands that can be controlled remotely.
Thanks
I have done what you are attempting with halogen shop lights. The have the advantage of being relatively inexpensive. You can get them in 250/300/500 watt bulbs and they often come with stands where they are doubled. A big advantage is that you can also dim them with a standard dimmer. Extension cords will make all the connections you need.
A "board" for the control is the only thing that had to be made. This consisted of a box with a series of dimmers on it. Be mindful of the dimmers capacity and don't exceed them or you will burn them out. The dimmers on my box went to receptacles that the extension cords could be plugged into. You could do the same thing by connecting the dimmers to cut off extension cords.
Many of the parts you might be able to borrow if this is a short production. Email if you have other cheap production questions like scenery, props etc.
