It could be good, but you can pick up 4 real par lights for $60... might just be better to pay the extra $30 for the real thing dont you think?

weh?

@thumper250464 i would watch out however about who sees that. One look at that from a lighting operator or rigger and you could find yourself in trouble.

@jacobtrowbridge true, sorry, i was talking about New Zealand safety standards :P
I assumed they would be the same in other countries
-
@christjan08 actually in some states a safety cable is not required when hanging a fixture. so it may not be illegal.
-
Good idea, but lacking design.
is there a place to hang barn doors or gels?
If you make a second version, consider making one with slots for these.

Mate, I work lights in a professional theatre for a living.. Making your own lights is seriously not a good idea.. Modern stage lights are expensive for a reason.. Plus with the chipboard backing, there is a rather large chance of light escaping through the back which isn't so good.. Ahh, also, I couldnt see any safety chains on your lamps which i believe, is illegal. And it's not a good idea to use wood for your yokes either..
Good concept, but just don't do it. Buy them instead. Less risk.

Don't do it. Think safety my friends.
No vents for heat to dissipate. Wood will burn and smolder. Tipping hazard with a in appropriate stand. Just to name a few issues.

@anselmoday Nah mate, it's never even got hot. But, just to make sure I drilled some holes in the back for extra ventilation. As for the stand, I'm not using it because I could n't be bothered carrying around although it's pretty steady. The lights just sit on the floor these days. cheers

That was great, but does this mean you have four plugs?

@AJohnnymous
Hi mate, yeah, afraid so. But you can run these into a four input power board or run them seperately off a lighting console.
cheers

I dont know much about this type of stuff. But i am wanting to get into the tech type part, of musical theater. By this question you can probly tell, i dont know anything about this but is there a special type of light socket YOU used or can i run to the thrift store, get some cheap lamps, diescet, and use the socket from the cheap lamp. Or are they a special size or anything??????

@WildernessSurvival Hi man, it's pretty much a standard do it yourself spotlight that you should be able to buy at a hardware store, (a thrift store in the US?)
