So my school's play is in a bit of a pickle. They are trying to use ellipsoidal lights instead of spotlights (which is stupid for so many reasons other than the one this is about) this. The spotlights we use normally are manually controlled by a spots operator however ellipsoidal lights don't have an on/off and need to be patched. This is where the problem comes into play the outlets that these would be plugging into don't have a numbered address. Is there a way to assign a random outlet an address or something? Does anyone have ideas on how to make this work other than running like 10 extensions cords down from the spot booths to backstage?
