Worklight

In theater, a worklight is a high-intensity light fixture which is used to illuminate the stage for the benefit of technicians.

Finally, and most importantly, they are designed to be cheap and easy to re-lamp, in contrast to theatrical fixtures, which have expensive lamps and would burn through color gels if used to illuminate stage work.

Worklights are not designed to light the stage in an aesthetically pleasing way, but rather to be efficient in terms of space and heat; however, they may occasionally be used to emphasize plot elements during a show.

If not hardwired into the control system, the connectors are often marked or attached in a way to prevent them from mistakenly being removed during a strike/load out.

Worklights can also be used during performances and rehearsals, to provide dim lighting for technicians backstage.
