Your "precise instructions" hadn't arrived at my inbox when I asked
whether Lightroom had a batch rename command, nor when I responded to
Doug & Larry.
I'm not suggesting Larry should use Bridge, I was asking whether an
option available in Bridge is available in Lightroom. Apparently not.

If you're using Lightroom, you can't use a batch rename routine

clumsy and easy-to-mess-up cleanup work afterwards in Lightroom.
I gave precise instructions for how Larry can rename his files as
desired using Lightroom's built-in renaming function. Nearly all of
Lightroom's functions can be applied to any number of images
individually or all at the same time. And nearly all of Lightroom's
functions can be made into presets (or templates) for re-use whenever
you you want.

In Bridge, the batch rename command allows string substitution.
Larry could search for "20160806-LRC0" and replace it with
"20160806-LRC1" and rename them all as a batch.
He might have to append a 4 digit sequence number or it might keep the
existing 4 digits remaining in the file name. I'm not sure about that &
I don't feel like going into the other room & fire up Bridge right now.
But, I know it does the same thing as her video showed where you can see
what the resulting file name is going to be & adjust before you click on
[Rename].
And you can save it as a template.
