If people want a quick diagram explaining a bit more, you can download this one I made: drive.google.com/file/d/18EhS3SKl6tqvNOWzpKOYPHbM2cfX-9DT/view?usp=sharing

Hope you're doing well during these strikes. I'm trying to eventually get into 728 so during this down time I'm trying to learn as much as I can so videos like this are great.

[@ihavedoubleshadows]

@Pierorocks Thanks so much for the kind message. Honestly, it's been a hard one but I'm doing my best. I'm so happy you are enjoying the videos. I've been playing around with the idea of doing some paid courses that deep dive into lighting. Would that be something you'd be interested in, if I decide to do it?

Thanks for the video! It was really helpful. I was wondering if you might be able to do a mock diagram or example of a distro with various lights sizes to help get an example of balancing loads on a 3 phase and understanding how to know how much amps per light you can pull, etc.

Hey @ShyDrummer! I just made a simple diagram about 3-phase that you can download here: drive.google.com/file/d/18EhS3SKl6tqvNOWzpKOYPHbM2cfX-9DT/view?usp=sharing Let me know if you have more questions.

what are those colored cables called? I rented two of these generators for a production site and need to actually use it I'm so lost +(

[@ihavedoubleshadows]

Sorry, just saw this. The colored cables that go into the generator are called Camlock (or Banded)
