The hard part of teaching by words and line diagrams is for the teacher to know the student "gets it", and is one of the reasons we don't see many 'step by step' directions posted about electricity, rigging, and Things Needed Engineering Review (TNER-instant acronym!) so much of what I post is background or 'why' rather than 'how'. I also believe that when somebody understands the 'why' they are better at seeing the logic behind the 'how'.Hi thanks for this. I am not planning on doing any wiring as I have no theater to do that in at this point. My lighting Dimmer Rack and board and lights are now in a storage unit due to the COVID and closure and sale of the theater building that my theater group used to operate out of. But this is good information to know for the future. Thank you
I wouldn't expect you to wire the theater, but knowing what you'd need to correctly repair a fixture, and be able to recognize poorly done, prior work are good things for the long haul. And with any luck and many vaccinations perhaps we'll be discussing those particulars sooner rather than later.
