We have a similar issue, except it involves the local volunteer fire chief (translation: his training involved a few months of school and none in inspections etc.) and he will randomly throw out things that we aren't allowed to do for no real reason, and even though he has no real authority.

I know it has already been suggested, but we use 8 scoops. 6 on the catwalk and two overhead lights beautifully and the bulbs are cheap. Most stages would pribably require less, but our stage is 65' wide so lighting with anything is a pain. There is a run on 4 tube fluorescent fixtures the whole...
