[SML] ETC Color Source SPOT & PAR unit repair

[Steven Mclean]

Thanks for your information.
I did not set up the system, but the Lighting Designer who did, probably
knew what he was doing.  As far as I was able to ascertain, there are only
about 6 to 8 fixtures in any given power chain.  The DMX may be more, but
since the DMX follows a different path than the power, it is harder to
follow.
