[SML] What are people using nowadays....

[Stuart Wheaton]

We have also used Environmental lights products. They give good 
service.  Some of the clones on E-bay are also quite good.   What I look 
for in any of these products is fault tolerance, when working with LED 
strips it is very easy to get an accidental short circuit, if that 
trashes the dimmer, I do not want it.  My biggest gripe, would be that 
far too many 4 channel LED dimmers have the settings switches on the 
sides, making it difficult to cluster them together.

Generally we just use MeanWell Power supplies from whatever vendor has a 
good deal.  they cost a bit, but we have never had a power supply failure.

For self contained portable things just run right off the 12Volt battery 
( via appropriate fuse blocks).  For wireless we Use either RC4 or City 
Theatrical Show Baby,  The most important thing would be to try to sort 
out ahead of time who is using what parts of the total EM spectrum.  And 
to look at the theatre architecture to make sure you can get a good 
signal to the receivers.
