We're in the process of a major renovation of a building and we've it a snag, so I'm throwing open the floor for discussion and brainstorming.
The space, at the moment, does not have dimmable house lighting. To comply with fire code, we have to have some sort of illumination in the aisles. The issue is that the venue needs to have a flexible seating plan, so the only permanent aisles will be on the sides. Those, I think, we have covered. However, if we do a center aisle, we will need illumination. I don't want to try to focus ellipsoidals on the aisle, and we're trying to avoid a permanent strip of rope lights mounted on the floor. Anyone have ideas or suggestions? The floor will probably be tile so that we can move chairs in and out, risers, tables, whatever. I was hoping someone made an illuminated runner, but that was a total fantasy.
If you have a flexible venue, how do you handle illumination for fire code?
