Members djiceman1575 Posted July 7, 2013 Members Share Posted July 7, 2013 Anyone ever used some basic work lights (like these) for blinders on the cheap? I'd like to pick up two to use at a show this weekend since they're really cheap...I don't think it would be too big of a deal. They would be set up on a switch pack. Thoughts?

Members mate_stubb Posted July 7, 2013 Members Share Posted July 7, 2013 I have heard of people doing this. Look for black ones, as yellow is not a good look for the stage, and mind the current draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundlight Posted July 7, 2013 Members Share Posted July 7, 2013 They work great. As suggested, look for the black ones. I got a pair of black 250 watters at Lowe's a while back and they work great. I'd stick to 250 watt units for current draw, heat, and to not blind the audience *too* much. The ones that I got had a yoke between the light and the base that I was able to put a clamp on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members djiceman1575 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2013 How big of a crowd would you use 250 watt ones on? This show coming up will be pretty big...plus would something like a 150 watt work ok for front lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vort Posted July 9, 2013 Members Share Posted July 9, 2013 We use work lights as blinders. Since we currently don't have dmx control, they are plugged into a momentary switch pedal that the drummer controls. Here's a sample: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
