I agree that two-fers or three-fers would be the right decision for this situation. Unfortunately, the school year ends tomorrow and I probably will not ever use it again. However, I will explain to the "lighting-designer" (who is a teacher) that if she wanted to hook up the other lights, she...

Thank you all very much for your help!! The idea about using some ULD pack's is a very good point. We have at least two of these, each with four stage pin connectors on them. Does anyone know if these pack's can be mounted on the bar where all of the lights are mounted?

In response to Sean: All of our lights are stage pin. I have pigtails on the connector strips which are female stage pin on one end (the one that connects to the cable from the light) and then the "mystery" connector is the one on the connector strip itself. All of the connectors on the...

I think they were purchased at the same time, but I can't be sure because the grant we got for the lights was all done through the town. Also, we already have lights that are stage pin that are connected via the pigtail cable to the connector strip. I agree that replacing the stage pin's for...

Sounds good. Thank you all very much. I will post back on this thread after Tuesday -- or around 5:00 pm eastern time.

The different sizes of twist lock explains a lot. I'll take a picture on tuesday and post it if I still can't figure it out. Does anyone know how I would go about un-pluging a twist lock? Im guessing it has something to do with locking and twisting, but that's just a guess.

Okay, so twist lock looks a little big for what I remember being on the connector strip, but again, I will check soon. We do have pigtails, so I'm happy to hear that pigtails won't be as much as a hassle as a flush port. Unfortunately, there is no other staff member, custodian, or employee in my...

Okay, I'll check on Tuesday to see if they are twist lock. Just incase I can't tell by looking at it, (sometimes it is hard for me to match something without an image in front of me) could you tell me how I might un-plug the other lights from the connector strip assuming that they are twist...

There are numbers indicating the circuit. I won't have access to the system for two days, but I'll check if the ports look like twist lock. They're definitely not stage pin or Edison.

the closest to the one's at my school would be the twist lock, but I'm not sure why one end of the cable would be twist lock and the other end would be stage pin? Also, the issue is not lack of connector strips, we have plenty of circuits with open ports to plug these wires into, we just need...

The problem isn't lack of stage pin cables, but our school doesn't have any pigtail connectors with stagepin on one end, and then going into the connector strip on the other end. Basically, what I need is more cable's that plug into the connector strip on one end, and then are a female stage pin...

Hello, I am a student and I run the lighting for my middle school, but I am a beginner in the field. We have these big horizontal boxes that are apparently called "connector strips" and their made by ETC. Here is the link to that product's page: Lighting solutions for Theatre, Film &...

Hello, This question probably sounds silly, but it is something that I have wanted to know the answer to for a while. How do you change the number of parameters that a multi - parameter device takes up on your dimmers and console? Many LED and intelligent lighting fixtures can use a range...

I am new and control booth told me to post here... so here I am.
