@Ga4rd2en0er, Dido man. Huge fan of older SNL cast's (David Spade...meh). I didn't think I was getting old, but I guess this is a sign that I am, haha. My pop culture references stop at around 2009-2010. No one knows the hell I'm talking about anymore.
And ya! Where the hell did Myers go... You're probably correct and he's just dozing on a pile of Shrek royalties, hahaha. Hopefully he comes back in some capacity.
@JinksyGrows, thanks!! I love it when people get my references. Now a days whenever I quote a movie and get no response, I have to remind myself that I am now in the old category and this generation knows nothing of comedic genius Chris Farley and well mike Myers really hasnt done much since he got shrek money. Late 80s to mid 90s snl fan here.
What model roleadro do you have? I have a few of the 1000w. Just lost my first diode on one after 14 months and they sent me a new light with no issues. Really happy with them!
@Ga4rd2en0er, yeah obviously much better lights out there but they were great starter lights for me on a budget and a nice supplement to the QBs I use now.
@Wicked_Stix, I think it's their claimed 300w model but pulls 110 from the wall. It's rather old and bought it 3 years ago but doesnt have as many miles as my viparspectra from the same time frame which I think I'll be retiring. I need a new veg light soon
