@BenDoesLight LedLenser are definite go-to! If budget's tight, the only version of that generic focusable torch you find everywhere without annoying strobe or dim modes that I've found come from Sealey: https://t.co/PPHMK5J5oe

[Will Monks @WilMonks]

Trying to find a forgotten show/image. I think it's opera, German expressionist vibes. Someone pokes their head out of the set and they're in the middle of a giant spiderweb. Thought it was by Robert Wilson but can't find it on his website. Ring bells for anyone?

@VAULTFestival is nearly here! By far the most tech troubleshooting phone calls I get are about the link between QLab and lighting desk for OSC. Here's the cheat sheet for setting it up that I tend to send out with tours. May your fleeting tech sessions be fruitful! 💡🎭💻
