Lanterns
List of all the generic lanterns (or lights for those less used to tech terms) that are avaliable in YSTV. Not all of these will be in use on the Rig at any one time. All of these also require the use of a dimmer to work. All lanterns have 15A round-pin connectors unless otherwise stated.
For any DMX fixtures, see DMX.

Selecon Asymetric floods: (2 of)
- Not old! - still incredibly popular as of 01/10
- Asymetric! not even spread of light. spread gets better, the further they are from the wall. Remember, big side at bottom.
- Use to light back walls evenly, rather than a large "splodge" of light at the top, and not much at the bottom.
- The above makes them very useful when doing Chroma keying work.
- Lamp access by flipping the catch on top - whole fornt of fixture is hinged to allow lamp change without re-focusing.
- Colourframe located by flipping open the cover at the top. Not the catch! Slide out colourframe from top.
