The document provides information on various stage lighting instruments, including the Pebble Convex, Parcan, CCT, Selecon, Scena 1K, Flood Light, Birdie, Pin Spot, Source Four, and Miniunette Profile. For each light, it lists key features and describes common applications and when one light may be preferable to another for a given task. For example, it notes that the Pebble Convex creates a defined edge unlike other fresnels, and that a CCT could be chosen over a Parcan because it allows the use of barn doors to control the light.

1. TECHNICAL STAGE
OPERATIONS
UNIT 65

2. PEBBLE CONVEX
 G clamp
 Safety Chain
 Barn Doors
 Gel frame
 Adjustable arm
 15 amp plug
 Pebble lenses
 Adjustable knob
The Pebble Convex is mainly used
for general cover. The peddle lense
creates a defined edge unlike other
fresnals which maybe why you
would chose the pebble convex
instead of CCT for example.

3. PARCAN
 G clamp
 Safety Chain
 Gel frame
 Adjustable arm
 15 amp plug
Parcans can be used effectively music
gigs due it’s ability to do chases and use
of gels. Also can be used to add depth in
general washes and for astetics. I would
use fresnals over a parcan as you cant
control where the light falls. You also
cant focus on specific things easily as
you cant up shutters or barn doors on a
parcan so the general area will be
lighted.

4. CCT
 G clamp
 Safety Chain
 Barn Doors
 Gel frame
 Adjustable arm
 15 amp plug
 Adjustable Arm
 Adjustable knob
The rigged lense of the CCT creates
a defused spread of light.
If you wanted a less defined light you
would chose the CCT over the PC ias
the pebble lense gives a very shape
edge. You would use a CCT over a
Parcan because you could use barn
doors.

5. SELECON
 G clamp
 Safety Chain
 Barn Doors
 Gel frame
 2 adjustable nobs
 15 amp plug
 Adjustable knob
Used for a general cover and a
general wash. Light can also be
manipulated with barn doors . The
selecon is the best alternative to a
profile because of the rigged circular
lenses. In this situation the selecon
would be chosen over another fresnal
like PC as it has a soft edge so
couldn’t be used as a spotlight
alternative.

6. SCENA 1K
 G clamp
 Safety Chain
 Barn Doors
 Gel frame
 Rigged glass
Although the 1k can b can be used for
general cover it is prodemintly used for
backlight with light gels to create a 3D
effect during pieces of theatre. The 1 k
could be picked over any over light when
deciding on what use for backlight purely
because it is brighter than any other
light. Although the 1k is brighter it
doesn’t go further. The rigged glass
creates a defused light unlike a selecon.

7. FLOOD LIGHT
 G clamp
 Safety Chain
 Gel frame
 15 amp plug
The flood light is similar to the pracan
because you can’t control where the
light falls and can only control the
intensity of light. Flood lights are
prominently used as audience lights but
can also be used in a general wash
mainly to add depth.
I would chose a parcan over the flood
light in a general wash as you can,
manipulate the light with barn doors
unlke a flood.

8. BIRDIE
 Safety chain
 G Clamp
 13 amp
 Gel fame
Part of the parcan family but can be
used in any plug as it only needs 13
amps. I would use a birdie in a
lighting exibit over a part can as the
birdie is a lot smaller and a lot more
astatically pleasing, it can also be
plugged into the wall.

9. PIN SPOT
 Safety chain
 G Clamp
 13 or 15 amps
Pin spots are mainly used in
discos ; two either side of a glitter
ball to defect the light. Like a
parcan you cant direct the light.
Are also used in expos like birdies
but aren't as effective because
they aren't as light, aren't as
astatically pleasing and aren't as
energy efficient

10. SOURCE FOUR
 Safety chain
 G Clamp
 15 amp
 Gel fame
 Shutters
 Gobo holder
Source fours are good for defining a
space because of the hard or soft
edge. Can easily manipulate light
because of the shutters, gobo holder
and gel frame. Creates a whiter light
than the mininuette profile because of
the energy efficient bulb but light can
be manipulated the same way on
both lights.

11. MINIUETTE PROFILE
 Safety chain
 G Clamp
 15 amp
 Gel fame
 Shutters
 Gobo holder
Like the Source Four the miniunette
profile is used for defining a space
with its hard or soft edge of light I
would pick a mininuette profile over a
parcan when creating a stained glass
window in a set because you can
use gobos and gels.
