This article should either be merged into Stage lighting, or have a considerable part of Stage lighting moved into it ColinFine 01:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • The floodlights and spotlights chapters in the Stage lighting article can turn into their own articles, or expand existing ones (e.g.:See main article - Follow spot). The introduction to lighting instruments can stay in Stage lighting, and then the article can focus on the interesting techniques, tools, all the different personnel in stage lighting, and as a gateway to topics and articles in Category:Stage lighting. -- Dogears 04:34, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree with your proposal to turn this into a Stage lighting instruments, although I don't think that this page has much additional content that's not already present in Stage lighting. I'd like to help with a major re-write of the Stage lighting article, and related topics, although finding the time is going to be tough. I also like your ideas about what to do with the Stage lighting article. Maybe we could even create a stage lighting portal? --Squigish 00:16, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge to Stage lighting instruments

I see no problem with using this page for a disambiguation between architectural and theatrical fixtures. This article has nothing that Stage lighting instrument doesn't already have, and Stage lighting instrument is contains much more information. This article could just become a disambiguation without merging (what is there to merge?) JWGreen 01:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

It's done, in accordance with WP:BB. Please discuss any objections or comments.
