Went to church this morning and found our
house lights and front
stage lights, 32 x PAR56 500W, 10 x PAR64 1kW, and 6 x 1kW ERSs, basically faders 1-12, had been left on
since Thursday. All at 100%.
Besides electricity, which must be a pretty penny, 2 PAR56 lamps and 1
ERS burned out. I have no spare
ERS lamps. Thanks.
We have
fluorescent house lights that people can use to work, clean,
etc. All accessible with handy on/off switches on the wall. But instead people get into the sound booth and start shoving faders.
I need to
clear it with staff, but I plan to turn off the breakers on the
dimmer panels. But I know a lot of people will be upset that they can't get enormous amounts of light on any time they want, and I'll likely not be allowed to cut the breakers.
