Note We have 12 fewer Source Four “bodies” than lens tubes. The above are inventories of lenses.

there is a lot of cable and a bunch of twofers and threefers. But the dimmers are 1.2 kW each, so they can’t handle more than two 575w lights or one 1000w light each.

There are 96 dimmers in the downstairs space.
As mentioned, the dimmers are 1.2 kW each (or 1,200 Watts). The 6” fresnels are 500 W. All the sourcefour lights are 575 W. The 8” fresnels, single-cell far cycs, and mini-10s are each 1000 W. This means that only the sourcefour lights and the 6” fresnels can be twofered. The 1000 W lights cannot be twofered.

Pre-cut gel is in two milk crates on the shelf. It is fairly well organized. Please help us keep it this way. Large sheets of gel can be found on top of the large cabinet in the paint room next door. Feel free to cut up whatever you need. If you think there are any colors we need to buy, please put them on the Electrics Shopping List.

There is a Gam-check device that can be used to check lights and cable. Please use it to make sure each piece of equipment works before putting the equipment to use. This will both help save you time on troubleshooting, and help save our remaining dimmers. A short circuit in the cable can blow out a dimmer very easily. If you don’t know how to use the Gam-check, just ask.

Each light must be safety cabled to the grid. We have a lot of extra safety cables, so no excuses.

Gaff tape is available to tape connections. Please use it only on loose connections which might come undone. Please also fold over an edge of the gaff tape to create a “flag” that is easy to grab at strike when it’s time to take things apart. Similarly, with the tieline, please use ordinary bow-ties (like with your shoelaces) to tie cable to the grid.

If you find a cable that is bad for some reason, see if you can figure out which end is bad. If you can, pull the connector off that end so that no one else tries to use the same cable before fixing it. A shorted connector on a cable can blow the dimmers, so we’d rather fix them than give them multiple chances to break the dimmers.
