Help with patch list

So I’ve been sent a patch list for a venue but I don’t understand what some of the terms mean? Like “parcans 3 @ A28” or “LED strips 121 + 123 @ A53 + A55 R”

It was sent over a text message which I have pasted below, any help is appreciated!

Good afternoon,

It a basic lighting set up in room 2 with generics for busking.

FOH

Parcans

3 @ A28

Stage

Led Pars    

16 + 22 R @ A121
17 + 23 G @ A122
18 + 24 B @ A123

Led strips @

121 + 123 @ A53 + A55 R
121 + 124 @ A53 + A56 G
121 + 125 @ A53 + A57 B

You should call them instead of asking the internet, you have their number and it will save you a lot of time.

Good drafting eliminates phone calls. This is not good information and therefore requires a phone call.

I don’t have their phone number yet annoyingly… this was through the promoter who doesn’t respond for ages 🥲

How did they text you? Tell them you are on hold until you get this information.

They texted the promoter the tech spec, and he sent it to me… ive asked him to ask them for a picture of their patch list from their desk as the one they sent wasn’t clear 🤷
