lighting rigs
Theater lamp arrays
Lighting rigs are the assembled structures and equipment used to illuminate stages, film sets, concert venues, and photography studios.
The term covers both the physical framework—trusses, bars, and mounting hardware—and the lights attached to them.
In theater and live events, rigs are often suspended overhead: The crew spent all morning adjusting the lighting rig.
Professional setups may include dozens of fixtures controlled by computerized boards.
