Century light
Also known as Century spotlight.
A historical spotlight name associated with Century Lighting equipment, distinct from a Century stand or C-stand.
In practice
Because current crews may use “Century” to mean the stand, an equipment order should name the actual fixture or stand model. Historical rental lists and regional speech can differ.
