Identification should include
- lighting instrument components (e.g., shutters, lenses, reflectors, lamps, yokes)
- types of lighting instruments (e.g., spot vs. wash, intelligent vs. conventional, Fresnel vs. PAR Can, LED vs. incandescent)
- accessories and media (e.g., gels, patterns, special effects)
- lighting board
- dimming system
- connectors and cables (data and power)
- tools (e.g., C-wrench, cable tester, multimeter, screw driver)
- custom hanging positions (e.g., trees, booms, floor mount, side arm).
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are the advantages of using an LED instead of an incandescent lamp?
- How do the different types of instruments affect usage?
- How does information pass from the light board to the instrument?
