[SML] Learning lighting boards

[Dale Farmer]

Your local lighting rental house is a good resource for things of this 
nature. Oh look! I work for ALPS.  (full disclosure)   We offer various 
seminars and classes on the boards that we carry on rental stock.   I 
have no idea what the costs or schedules are, that's not my department. 
  My department is for the fixing of the broken things that got shorts 
or had a forklift stuck through them or fell off the truck or got 
dragged from one end of the state to the other hanging off the back of 
the trailer.  Plus normal wear and tear... and squirrel nest removal.
