Quick Update

Morning, well I have arrived back safe and sound from Hauntcon, I have to say it was an excellent trip. I have some pictures to share with you however i will put that in another post.

So May is marching on, with seasonal events already being planned and kit being prepared we also have some panels to build in response to the Halloween Show we attended last month.

The emergency panel has taken off, with people realising that safety can be built into their events without compromising the integrity of the designs they have in mind. We have also been working on a unit for customers in the USA and have created the same high standard to suit the 115 VAC market. There is a small amount of clarification left for this but I believe it is just crossing the"T's" and dotting the"I's" now.

Also after many months of working with manufacturers directly to produce a safe LED fitting we have our pre production units for final testing. Yesterday saw a couple of us actually trying to destroy these fittings both mechanically and electrically.

The results are excellent as is the size, 12V DC units, that are capable of being dimmed, using our MOSFET control units or DMX decoders.

HAuNTcon 2013

Three days to go before I leave the shores of this island and head to some warmer climes. Dallas Fort Worth is the destination for the next FunFear road trip. I am heading to HAuNTcon 2013 to explore some amazing haunts and attractions in the pre show tours and then on to network with operators and suppliers thought the 3 day trade show. As well as the opportunity to brainstorm with product suppliers it is always a pleasure to enjoy the education sessions and seminars. This all builds to what is usually an excellent evening of outrageous drinking and partying at the costume ball, this years theme being a "Texas Chainsaw Masquerade". To say I was looking forward to this would be an understatement. I will take pictures and share those on my return.

On another slightly different note, after the months of development time spent on our polarity safe LED fittings, we have a new product coming from our manufacturer. Apparently they have further developed our initial design and have made some minor improvements, we will carry out some testing ourselves next week. I am also happy to announce that we will be offering a matt black version of the unit in the coming months. This has been an enormous challenge and athough the external colour is rarely of importance, (especially as you are supposed to be scaring the guests....not giving them time to be looking at the installations) we have achieved what at times appeared to be impossible.

I will keep everyone up to speed on that and a new updated website is being developed which will incorporate a product page with all of our LED products and control system options on as well as our recommended sound stores and MP3 player.

Further updates to come so watch this space.
