SourceRaver Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Wanted to reduce my set up times at gigs so got an 8 outlet power chain for my truss and did the following:1) Cut it in the middle and added a plug and socket for those times when I need to break it down into two pieces.2) Covered the white cord in black insultion tape 3) Cable tied it to the truss as I wont need to tremove it again.4) Next job is to paint the outlet boxes and tidy up the cablesSo now my truss now has 8 X 10amp sockets for all my lighting fixtures!Much better than: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
