- Unplug all cables and place in laptop bag. The dongle (the keychain USB device) should be clipped on to the clip in the main utility pocket and placed in the small pocket next to the clip. This is very important. That is a very expensive thing to replace. Wrap up the USB adapter cable and the DMX cable attached to it and place it in the main utility pocket. Place the mouse, power supply and laptop in the main pocket.

Lighting Principles:
- The lighting shouldn’t be distracting but should aid in the whole experience.
- All band members faces should be lit appropriately unless there is a moment in the song when attention should not be focused on them
- Be alert: If there is a speaker coming on stage, get the lights on them. If the worship leader talks in between songs, get lights on them. If a video is getting ready to play, be ready to go black
