Hi Folks,

I have now got a decent grip on FS and now near to my first gig. I was wondering what the best way to provide power to the fixtures would be. Bearing in mind many small venues more than likely have just UK 13 amp sockets. I am thinking that just stringing 4 blocks all the way around may work as I am mostly using LED fixtures. But then I see big three prong plugs and wonder if I should be using that type of setup. SO I am just about at the stage of buying the power links and was wondering if anyone could advise the best way to do this please. Thanks very much in advance. Rgds Mac

hi i just use many differnt Power cables / blocks
because each Show is diferten and thefore need differnt amount/Lengths.

i also do a Stadard show, With 4x mac krypton, 4x 4bar, Backgroud sport and 2 LCD's
but we made a Cabel tree for this situation. 2x BIG multi cabel with 4x Dimmer+2x 16A 220V inside and 1x DMX cable. and lots of other Cabels to give everything power and DMX.
all to 2x 4K dimmer with a 32A 380V connector..
it Sound Perfect and Fast.
the only problem is that there is allready 4/5 cables broken in the mean while and it means you need to Strip out the whole cable replace and Fix everything to getter again.
now we dont use the Cabel tree anymore but just separte cabels it more reliable
