We were actually discussing this in a class earlier this week, and I think this is very similar to the auctioning off of a frequency range earlier this year and the devastating effects it is and will have on the sound world. I think one of the big things about the regulation is that manufacturers won't even be able to produce fixtures that do not meet these standards, which could be devastating for some of the companies as well as the theatres. We were also talking about how many of our LED fixtures do not even comply with these new guidelines, meaning the fixtures that many people have been pushing for in order to address energy consumption will also be deemed obsolete, when just a minute ago they were at the forefront of this issue. I hope, like many of the sound equipment manufacturers have done, these companies will institute a buy back program of something similar so theatre do not lose entire inventories.
