So im in the new black box theatre hanging some lights for our first BB show which opens next thursday. I was hanging a couple ETC pars, and everything was going swimingly. I hadn't had any equipment problem with pars lately, and had just inspected all of my lights. All of the damaged lights were on my desk in the main theatre CB. Well im hanging about my 4th par when I notice it is taking oddly long to tighten. I look at the inside of the C hook to notice a crack, going almost straight through the hook, expanding with every turn. I almost freaked, was in more of shock as to how the &$(@ the megaclamp got that cracked. So I pulled it down and replaced the clamp. But still... I mean really. This was just ridiculous, because I know that light was fine like a day ago when I put it on the shelf.
