Term used to describe a generic lighting rig. Usually consists of two 40' trusses of 5 @8' sections of PRT, each containing 2 @6-lamp par-bars for a total of 60 lamps per truss, 120 total. Most often the DS lamps are 1kPAR64-MFL, and the rear lamps 1kPAR64-NSP.

For garnish, add 4-6 ACL banks on the US truss, 4-6 ERSs on the DS as specials, and some molefays on the front of the DS truss for audience blinders. Even when the fixtures are 575 or 750W Source Four PARs, it's still called a 120K rig. Control can be 120 @1000W dimmers, or a minimum of 60 @2.4kW dimmers; a 96x2.4kW rack (or two 48-ways) is often used to account for the extras. Moving lights are optional.
