Colloquial term for a small, portable enclosure intended to be hung near the lighting fixtures. May contain six, or more often, four dimmers, and approximately the size of a box of shoes, although often smaller.

In use, care must be taken not only to avoid overloading each individual dimmer, but also the pack's total rating, which is dependent on the input AC connector. A pack may contain four 1000W (more often 500 or 600W) dimmers, but if the connector is a NEMA 5-15 Edison plug, total wattage must not exceed 1800W.
