This is what I'm facing: At the end of this last school year, our school's digital media class gave us 3 big fresnels (they might be even larger than 8"). I have two questions. Why do all the other departments at my school have better theatre equipment than the theatre?
But my real question is this; the new lights all have male stage pin connectors, and our theatre's channels are almost entirely L5-20F. We have a couple stage pin sockets left in the wings, in floor boxes, but these are too far away for us to run the fresnels on the battens. We need adaptors. We have no money. Should we create adaptors ourselves out of old stage pin leads and a few new twistlock connectors, or wait for money. We don't need these lights, but we'd really like to use them.
