Okay, stupid question time.

I know nothing at all about lights, except that I need some.

Well, a bit more than nothing, since I read that big long PDF "guide for n00bs" a couple of weeks ago that one of you so kindly wrote.

Anyhow, here's my stupid question.  I have read about guys attaching lights to speaker stands.  How is this normally done?  Do you just screw into the unused flying hardware on the top of the speaker?  I'm thinking it might be an idea to get a couple of par cans with coloured gels, one on each side of the stage while I save up for a real system. The thinking being that "two lights are bound to be much better than none".  So, what do I need to bring a couple of cans (e.g. PAR-46s) to the stage?  My FOH is NX55Ps on heavy duty poles.

 

Thanks,

Wes

Huh! Well I guess that settles it! :)

 

Are hot brackets normally a problem with old-school lights? I could potentially isolate them from the speakers a bit if I had to by using longer bolts and spacer tube.

 

I guess another option would be to hang the lights beside the speakers and connect the two with some angle iron.
