HOOK UP
A Hook Up is paperwork generated by the Lighting Designer for a show. It
lists connections or layouts between number systems. For example, a Channel
Hook Up lists the channel numbers used on the lighting plan alongside the
dimmer numbers into which they're connected, and a brief text description of
that channels function.
HOT SPOT
The brightest part of the beam from a lantern, usually showing the center.
Profile lanterns have a Field control which enables a beam to be flattened
so it has no hot spot.
HOUSE LIGHTS
The auditorium lighting which is commonly faded out when the performance
starts.
HOWIE BATTEN
(After Howard Eaton) This is a two circuit (two color) 120V per circuit MR16
batten developed by Howard for lighting cloths at close proximity. A row of
these hung above a cloth allow you to light the cloth where there is little
space. They have also become popular as footlights.
