The act of hanging a lighting instrument upside down from its traditional hanging position. In this case, the yoke and pipe clamp are under the instrument, instead of above. The actual instrument itself is still in the same orientation to aide in the proper installation of color frames and accessories. The term come from the fact that, when hung in this fashion, the instrument resembles the cockscomb on the head of a rooster.
