There are no silly questions

following on from Don's post about Standard lighting rigs, better known as 'Square One'. I have been an advocate for years, for the use of Boarder Battens - lighting troughs [strip lighting], which used to be refereed to as 'X Ray' battens. Which are a cheap to get hold of &/or even easy enough to make, If you are a Licenced Electrical Worker. Actual a few years ago, I remember a comment made by the Australian Ballet, that they were now using boarder lighting as a new innovation? Which in fact was only actually more of a rediscovery, of what they used eons before anyway! But for a comeatre by using boarder battens, it means you will have a basic 3 or 4 colour 'X" wash available all the time, rather than a heap of individual lamps to do the same thing, Then the lamps can be used to to augment the wash or as as Specials &/or to high light. It seems over the years we have drifted away from X ray boarder battens, in preference to using all single lamps over head. Troughs can also be used as side lighting, mounted on one end, groundrows & Cyc lighting.
