Show checklist: lighting

This is a general show checklist for lighting. Shows may have specific requirements that need to be added to this list.

Your checklist should take the form of a table with a separate column for each show. You should tick off each task as you complete it.  

Power up procedure

• Turn on the Lighting Desk
• Once the program is loaded with your show, turn on the dimmers
• Dimmers are located near the wall outside the bio box door.
• Turn on all 3 phase outlets. The 3 phase switches are under the plastic cover, lift that up to turn it on.
• Now turn on the G.P.O. switches on the left of the dimmers. You should only ever need to turn the bank of switches on left hand side. These power the LED and intelligent lights.
• Turn the house light control panel to “0” so Vista can control the house lights

Now do the pre show checks

Pre-show

1. Conduct a lamp and focus check - bring up each light individually to ensure it works and hasn't been knocked, refocused or repatched.
2. Check the movers and LED strips.

4. Play through a few cues to ensure playback is functioning correctly.
5. Five minutes before opening the house - blackout check, clear live, and go into preset.
