I really don’t know (and can’t wait to find out!) but was wondering if this was a lighting direction. Does Kleg = Klieg (light)?

Stage lighting? (mistake for Klieg light?)

Could this be a misspelling of the lighting instrument used in films (the Klieg-pronounced Kleeg)? Since it says “open full”, it might mean that it is on a dimmer and the dimmer is to be up full.

A direction in a lighting script regarding a Klieg light.
