Chistopher Rice 02/17/2017 4

Not surprisingly, the cost of both electrical power and labor increased from their 2014 levels among nearly every venue surveyed (see 2017 survey below). Floor power alone is now averaging $157 per show for the lowest tier (typically 500 watts) ...

Why Shiny Stuff Sells and How Lighting Can Enhance This Phenomenon   What do a diamond ring and a brand new car have in common? They’re both shiny and they’re both expensive.
