Hi Andy welcome.gif another local onboard

I Still use light Screens Although i make my own Last count 126 foot of the buggers made from ufo & turbocaps same as what they use on the fairground lighting boards. I do give the punters a choice of what equipment they would like though and most of the time they prefer the screens to the starcloths as they give more light in the early hours of summer so the guests have something to look at before darkness.
Must admit that i like just the effects lights & Starcloths for easy setting up though.

Quick answer Andy No I had a year building screens for everyone burning my fingers with the solder stripping Hundreds of strips of wire drilling the same holes hundreds of times' Building cabinets Painting em' sitting the holders in putting the bulbs in then screwing all the caps on' Really repetitive although i can give u a link to the components supplier www.remcosigns.com
They might do u some but they mostly do fairground lights and christmas displays
