It's not trade only - but it's only advertised in trade magazines.
www.plasa.org.uk will get you the details. This years show lived up to
the normal expectations - several excellent lighting shows (Clay Paky
was the best, IMHO) - and lots of new toys. Some stuff of interest to
home automation - people like Mode lighting do architectural lighting
systems, for hotels etc, and have nice pushbutton control panels and
hidden dimmer systems. I'm thinking about installing some of this - it's
all based on 0-10v control systems.

Several manufacturers also have multizone amplifers, which might be
useful for whole house audio. There's also people like Canford Audio,
Studio Spares, AC Lighting etc, who supply all the useful
connectors/cable/cable glands/widgets that you need if you're going to
route audio and video about the house.

However, remember professional equipment means professional
prices.......

Cheers,

Colin.
