The lighting rig was declared unsafe in December 2013 and has been condemned (see File:YSTV Rig inspection report.pdf). It was removed in July 2014. The power sockets on the ceiling are still safe to use, but all lights must either be on the floor or on one of the lighting stands.

Power

The rig eats a lot of juice: It is fed from two 32amp Ceeform plugs on the wall (same wall as fire escape). According to the Mains Circuits page, both are on the Yellow Phase.

Dimmers

See Dimmers

Desk

Strand 200 plus see Lighting Desk

Hardware

  • On the ceiling is a home-made steel pipe frame, with some IWB's here and there (IWB's not connected).
  • More pipe clamps, lamp clamps in box under lighting desk.

Cables

Usually found on top shelf in techie room

  • 15a -> IEC
  • Various lengths of 15a
  • UK 13a ->15a adaptors (2 of)
    • Very useful on OB's

Patching

  • IEC Panels feed the plugs on the ceiling.
  • IEC leads from dimmers. MAX 5a (1Kw).

Lights

Gels

Colours

  • Blues
    • Lee 132 (medium blue)
    • Lee 118 (Light Blue)
      • Nice for set boards/uplighting...
    • Lee HT* 079 (just Blue)
    • Rosco 65 (pale blue)
    • Lee 117 (steel blue)
    • Lee 172 (Lagoon blue)
    • Unknown dark blue, marked as "199" (probably Lee regal blue)
  • Reds
    • Lee 106 (primary red)
  • Purples
    • Lee 049 (purple)
    • Unkown purple (possibly congo blue lee 181, looks like UV - but isn't really)
  • Greens (inc turquoises)
    • Unkown green (various & dark)
    • HT* 122 (Fern Green)
    • HT* 115 (Peacock Blue, yes it isn't really blue)

Diffusions & scrims

  • Scrim - looks like tracing paper, but made of plastic and not nearly as flamable. Like gels, will melt if touching the glass of a flood. Use this to soften light - you can also put over only some of the fixture (called half scrim) to soften light e.g near to the source only. Very useful, but underused.


Colour Temperature Filters

  • 1/2 CTB. Lee 202 or eqiv. Looks grey. decreases output of lower CT's (orangeyness reduction). Makes thing noticeably dimmer. ** tungsten (3200K) to daylight (4300K)
  • 1/4 CTB less strong CTB.
