A striplight is a linear assembly of light sources designed to provide lighting over the length of a run. A blend of light emitted from the individual source creates a uniform wash of light to illuminate backdrops and cycloramas. When hung from pipe battens above the stage the striplights are called borderlights or x-rays. They are known as footlights when installed at the front of the stage to provide a low level of upward illumination. Typically, multiple fixtures are used in a continuous run configuration. A striplight often has multiple circuits. All lights on the same circuit emit lights in the same color. The linear fixture contains at least three circuits which produce light in three primary colors (red, green, and blue). Secondary colors can be created by mixing these colors.
