Fixture Orientation
The orientation of the fixture is determined by which way the pigtail faces as it exits the luminaire. The way a fixture is
hung affects the direction it will point when it reaches its stop mechanism. If one luminaire is hung differently from the
others, the position (focus) will also be different. There should be some consistent order to the way the pigtail faces:
all stage left, all stage right, etc.
