Light FX and leads

[Candybeatdiscos]

EXAMPLE - Ok so i have 4 dynamos on my T bar, i have 6 light fx on my goalpost, now that means up to 10 DMX cables daisy chaining, and one to usb port, and 10 sets of kettle leads dangling to the 3 strip leads, but because the kettle leads aint long enough, the strip lead is hanging halfway up.

Now i want to tidy the cables up, preferably i don't want to extend the leads, but at same time don't want say 4 leads coming down the pole as its harder to hide, so what can i do?

How can i power up the trussing without having too many leads? does this iec distribution panel that i am reading about in another thread the answer? I don't want to go and waste the small amount of cash i have on something that aint gonna do what i want it to do.

Any suggestions?

If you lights are dmx, You dont realy need show director, As you can turn it on and off via dmx,

the above are a cheaper way of doing it, Mount this on the rig with either tape or black zip ties

Yeah i agree with dmx, i would use that for the lights, it was more so the cabling, now what you posted seems the ideal foil, a few of those and then it means i only have one cable hanging down which will be a lot easier to hide.

cheers mate

indeed, You can even possibly attach a g clamp to it, If you took it apart, To make it just drop on the rig even easier, Not sure what the clearance is like inside though, Worth a look
