i have a martin centrepiece with 2510 controller - 1200w discharge lamp source. Look it up, could sell for £120ish

Is that £120 for the light and controller?

pretty much yes, the controllers a rackmount 2510 jobby, never used it but it does light up when turned on - guy i bought it all from said he used it mainly to blackout.
 
As said i need to gather all the bits n pieces together and make it whole+clean again. You interested?

I need my bins!

But other than that it is slowly building up  Bride's been on the floor all night so that's good.

You were right about it being a spacious room - it's the lack of solid walls!

I bet I'm pissing off the Saab Owners Club who are camping about 300 yards from me!

although you are one, sod the saab anoraksWink!! they could use a spot of living. Kinda wish i got off my arse and came over now, ended up spending the night reorganising my film and music collection - turned out i had over 30gb of duplicates.
 
Believe me, around here a decent pair of fullrangers is a vast improvement over the usual crap. I had a brilliant market around this area hiring out sound and lighting rigs to weddings etc who booked their own dj's and didnt want their 'mobile disco'. Was at the racecourse at least twice a month - appart from i was taking in 10x minimac profiles and a sizeable PA Thumbs Up

I challenge you to drop in 'pieces' by chase n status somewhere into the set, thats ure fun challenge for the night lol!! Always used to set my dj's a song challenge (normally inappropriate to the gig) to get in. Good luck!
 
Ive just had the centrepiece going, bugger me it lights up my pretty large garden very well, even some passing drunks wondered in looking for a party to gatecrash hahaha!!!

What's the spec on the centrepiece? (we've done a complete thread hijack here!)

Edit:  Just found the user guide on the martin website - it practically needs it's own mains ring!

Cooooollllll!

haha yeah, when firing the lamp, it needs to be on its very own 13A feed or the fuse/breaker pops!! Once warmed up its not too bad at all, just the initial 10minutes.
 
Least you are close enough to pop over here sometime. Just so you are aware im off to ireland mid-next week and shall be going job to job for the best part of a month before coming home - possibly going to my missus's tho if she cant make it here!!

that's cool mate.  I need to convince my missus that I need this light, but don't worry it's less than one gig and we might actually get to meet up at last!
