Hello, My name is Will, I am the Lighting Supervisor for a theatre in Iowa. I've been reading this forum for a while now but have always been able to find what I'm looking for and never needed to post.
Our Lighting inventory is made up of ETC Source 4's 19, 26, 36, and 50 degrees. The way that we have always stored them is by sorting the instruments by degrees and hanging them in there own spot on a half cat (5 or 6 feet off the ground). This works well if we ever need to change out an entire instrument. But since we basically do everything off the REP plot, we hardly ever change out the entire instrument, instead we just change out the lens. So we end up with a bunch of lenses that we are not using sitting on the floor of the cat, or the dimmer vault, and a bunch of instruments without lenses on the cat.
I was thinking about taking the lenses out of all the instruments and storing the lens on a shelf in the dimmer vault and keeping the instrument on the rail. This would be inconvient if I had to hang a new instrument, but it would save me time if I'm just changing out lenses.
Anyone else have any ideas on a better way?
