Selecting Lamps
To change the Attributes of a Lamp and/or to include it in a Cue (or
Sequence) you must ‘select’ it using the Lamp Selection Area (for an
overview of the Lamp Selection Control Area, see page 18).
Lamp Select & Lamp Page Buttons
There are 20 Lamp Select buttons which, together with 5 Lamp Page
buttons, are used to select one (or any combination) of 100 Lamps. The
Lamp Page buttons determine which range of Lamps is available on the
Lamp Select buttons as follows:

HELPFUL HINT
You may find it helpful to use the five Lamp Pages for separating different
lamp types. For example, 1- 20 and 21- 40 for moving lights, 41- 60 for
automated fixtures, 61- 80 and 81- 100 for colour scrollers, etc.
The Lamp Select buttons are either deselected or selected. When
selected, there are two modes available — Controlled and Included —
which determine what you can do with the associated Lamp. The selection,
identification and purpose of each mode are summarised in the following
diagram:
