Bonfire Barrel

Bonfirebarrel

Overview

The Bonfire Barrel is a cluster of three wooden barrels mainly used as dressing for SR bay 4. The barrels are on air lift casters to enable them to move. they have a trailing Trueone and 5-pin DMX connection. The barrels have a collection of 2 Chauvet COLORdash Par H7 IP, 8 Gantum Led spots and a Look Solutions PowerTiny.

Build

The fixtures are afixed in to the frame of the barrels with wood screws (this includes the two gantoms on the outside of the barrels). The PowerTiny has a wooden shelf it is sat on, it is blacktaked on the front to piping to distribute the smoke to the front to barrels where the smoke can exit through the holes on the top of the front barrels. Power is supplied via a True One cable (there is a break in the loom as no power is required for Act 2), the True one is split to an IEC multi block that powers the Gantum PSU's and the other way of the True One powers the two Slimpars. The PowerTiny is Powered by its own internal battery, the charger is permantly connected to the inputs as the piping makes it difficult to access it. The dmx is shared in as a daisy chain as normal, the PowerTiny receives DMX via a Look Solutions DMXit unit mounted on the side.

Tip

The Charger is stored in a sandwich bag to reduce the amount of residue left on it.

Scenes

  • Pilgrim's Trail
  • It emulates fire (it's pretty)

Maintenance

  • Check: The loom is stored on the SR bay 4 portal, it is paged out by deck LX as a part of their show track.
  • Maintenance: As the PowerTiny is enclosed in the barrels the smoke leaves residue inside this requires occasional cleaning. There is a mesh bag affixed inside containing silca pouches in order to help the damp.
  • Consumables: Fluid for the PowerTiny
