James Thomas Engineering Blinders

James Thomas Engineering Ltd began February 1977 in a small garage located in Bishampton, England. James Thomas and John Walters engineered and built the first spun aluminum Par Lantern which has become the industry standard. The company moved to Pershore in 1978 to a converted office unit and then to a 5,000 square foot unit in 1980. James Thomas Engineering started manufacturing truss and soon after the General Purpose Truss came into being. The total product range began to expand with additional sizes of Par Lanterns, Lighting Bars, Par 36 Spot Banks, Pinspots and other sizes of General Purpose Truss. In 1983, James Thomas developed the original Pre-rigged Truss System which was used by a major rock band on its world tour. In 1984, the company relocated into a 10,000 square foot factory at Station Approach, Pershore. The first Ground Support Tower System was also developed that year. Then in July 2000, the UK office moved to a 52,700 square feet facility with additional welding facilities, shipping warehouse, electrical department, drawing office, and administrative offices. Meanwhile in 1990, James Thomas Engineering began manufacturing in the USA to allow simultaneous production of truss on both sides of the Atlantic. This operation continues to expand and now occupies 15,000 square feet of space. In 1992, the Supertruss system was designed and has proved that the innovative skills at James Thomas Engineering still lead the way in the industry. In 1996, the company started production of the Baby Tower. In October 2001, the US office relocated to a new purpose built facility providing 30,000 square feet on a 6.28 acre site. This has allowed James Thomas Engineering to continue to offer the service the industry requires. James Thomas Engineering offers Truss Design and designs including Roof Truss Design, Steel Truss Design, and Metal Truss Design.

Blinders

Blinders are incandescent or LED stage lights which are directed at a relatively low angle toward the audience or stage. Designed for stage flood lighting, these intensely bright lighting fixtures are technically PAR lights. PAR lights or Parabolic Aluminum Reflector lights are so-called because of the actual material they are composed of. They are of halogen nature, that is, in place of a light-emitting filament, they have a halogen capsule that gives off light. When electric current runs through the halogen gas, the resulting chemical reaction allows the capsule to emit phosphorescence or light. Blinders normally have a parabolic-shaped aluminum base. The curve of the base is so designed to capture and directly focus emitted light. The aluminum construction is intensely-reflective and is intended to take the greatest amount of light possible and focus the captured light on a specific area. The PAR lights in blinders are categorized according to beam and size. They have a bulb life of approximately 2,000 hours, with the higher watt levels going at around 500 watts or 0.5 kilowatts up to 1000 watts or one kilowatt. Their beam ranges are much wider to illuminate much broader areas. The bulbs used in blinders give off a more white-colored light with higher color temperatures ranging from 3000 K (Kelvin) to 3200 K. They are classified as warm-colored lighting, in this case. These bulbs are also frequently sold with PAR specifications that are either PAR36 or PAR64. The number following PAR corresponds to the individual bulb’s diameter measured by the number of eighths of an inch. Thus, a PAR36 bulb is around 4.5 inches across, while a PAR64 bulb is exactly 8 inches across.
