Somewhat related question. If in NV extension cords are only acceptable to be used for 30 days, how are lighting rigs wired for semi-permanent shows or touring shows?The bottom two thirds of the posts above mine are on point - these are extension cords which are acceptable only for temporary use (is it still 90 days in CA? It's 30 here in NV)...So, it's either conduit or you pull the cables in/out as needed and make sure someone sees you doing it so you can document that you actually do that.
The ocassional 1' stick of strut anchored to the wall (if fire-rated, fill the penetrations with intumescent fire caulk) with a D-ring or such to help hold the cable tight to the wall might be a good idea.
Genuine question. Thinking about every show I've ever done, even a 10' extension to get from a circuit to a taildown wouldn't be allowed. Much less, booms in legs, and other creatively positioned fixtures that are slightly too far away from their source circuit.
Does soca count as an extension too?
