Load
The amount of power required for a lighting element.
Non Dim
A term used to describe a circuit that does not pass through a dimmer, or a load
that is not intended to be connected to a dimmer.
Patch
Patching is a component of most computer memory consoles that allows
dimmers to be patched electronically to control channels within the system.
Generally multiple dimmers can be patched to single control channels, but a
dimmer cannot be patched to more than one control channel. The term patching
takes place at several key points in a lighting system: at a patch panel, at a pin
patch, or in a soft patch.
Phase Control
A dimming method normally used to control the power to the light.
Preset or Submaster
A lighting term for a scene stored in the console's memory that contains levels for
each board channel for later use during a performance.

Volt
It describes the amount of electrical potential available from the power source to
a load.
Watt
The most commonly used term to describe electrical power. It is the product of
Voltage multiplied by Current. Volts X Amps = Watts.
