Work great, but pricey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197485284151138961.post-1733142235313698762008-06-30T21:32:00.000-07:002008-06-30T21:32:00.000-07:00LED's are a GREAT IDEA!Next booth set up I do, I'm...LED's are a GREAT IDEA!<BR/>Next booth set up I do, I'm totally going over to LED.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Greg!Some Audio Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458007836541750167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197485284151138961.post-47355224829854721422008-06-30T21:06:00.000-07:002008-06-30T21:06:00.000-07:00your solution works for the environment that you'r...your solution works for the environment that you're currently in, but in a booth, I'd steer people towards lighting setups which use LEDs. I got on the kick after spending some time with the folks from the Discovery Channel, who had converted nearly everything in their recording studio to LEDs. Very little heat (if any), no noise, and better use of electricity.<BR/><BR/>I've since converted most of the lighting in my recording areas and control booth to LED based lighting, with more than a bit of positive opinion from folks who have used the studio for their own projects.<BR/><BR/>Just tossing out another opinion, for what it's worth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
