Hanging lights
I am just wondering what people on here use to hand their lights safely onto their lighting stands. I currently use one of my more sturdy flight cases to stand on but feel this is not the ideal solution. Do you bring along a ladder or just use the venues chairs?
I use crank truss stands and a 4 metre truss length, I hang the lighting fixtures onto the truss and then crank the truss stands up to the desired height depending on the venue we are booked for.Originally Posted by Fluid People
I sometimes use a venue chair if I have to hang a heavy lighting fixture onto the truss system if I raise it up a bit so I can set up playout system etc.
I'm tall enough to hang the lights on my trusslite at full height anyway... but occasionally I'll use a step ladder.
Being 6'3" helps, but sometimes the use of a chair is required. Please make sure you wipe it down after use.
Winch system for me. Hang them low then crank them up. Secondary safety wires on of course.

I use Prolight Quick Release clamps on my 4ft deckstand + 4 metre truss system.
I feel that i am tall enough to hang the g clamp up onto the middle hight of my ultimax stand.however if i use the tallest setting then i sometimes use a chair from the venue.
I too am tall enough to not need any help

A chair? Are you joking?
First safety and second it doesn’t look professional, would an electrician use a chair?
Although most times I can reach I use a small step ladder.
