Looking for "best practice" on storing luminaires

[derekleffew]

I was thinking of using a mix of plywood and pipes, with ideally 3 pipes for hanging lights.

Post #8 above seems to be just the ticket for you. I'd probably like to see more bracing/support of the plywood ends, however. Or eliminate the plywood by using threaded (if you have access to a pipe threader) elbows or Kee-Klamp or Rota-Lock hardware.

Thanks so much! I knew I had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember where.

About 90% of our inventory at Halton Auditorium hangs, mainly because we have at least one rental coming through a week and this Goverment facility's storage space got the axe. The remaining 10% is stored on 4 10 ft pipes in the electric closet that fixtures can clamp to. About 95% of our Inventory at Pease Auditorium hangs for much the same reason as above, but excess inventory is stored under the stage (a lot of our inventory is actually pre-1980 and is in great shape).
