Thanks for all of the great advice. George, I didn't realize you had posted so much about lighting here at the Café. I'm definitely going to spend the next several days reading up on your essays. I'll also see if I can locate a small theater with a lighting desinger who is willing to share some time with me. Maybe he can even point me in the direction of some good classes at a community college.

I actually made this same mistake before when I was getting into sound systems. Not knowing what was out there, I spent tons of money buying the wrong products. It wasn't until after a couple of years that I really figured out what I really needed in my sound system. Now, I have one really good system and about 10 others that don't fit my needs.

Thanks for helping to prevent me from making the same mistake with lighting!

You're more than welcome, Kent. Best of luck with your project.
