What are lighting connectors?

Lighting connectors are specialty plugs designed specifically for lighting instruments. These connectors facilitate the reliable and secure connection of lighting fixtures to power sources and other equipment in a stagecraft or lighting setup. They are typically engineered to handle the unique electrical demands and safety standards associated with theatrical lighting. This ensures that lighting instruments receive the required current while minimizing the risk of electrical failures that could occur if standard electrical outlets were used instead.

In the context of stagecraft, using specialized connectors is essential for both performance reliability and safety, as these connectors are designed to withstand the rigors of a dynamic performance environment, where equipment may be moved frequently or subjected to heat.
