Hi all,
noobish lighting question (I do sound primarily, but am developing a real love and appreciation for lighting technique)... I did do a search and always appreciate the expertise here.
With the skylights covered in a gym, it's perfectly dark backstage.
I'm concerned about safety (my own included) and looking for best options for stage crew to see backstage.
There are 4 outlets on the ceiling with a single wall switch (non-dimmed) - temporarily, I'll probably cable tie some blue rope lights above the curtain rail holders run from those outlets. It's a 15' ceiling, and having them that high will disperse the light a bit too much, but should still be firesafe and wont fall down.
or I could use sticky hooks / gaff tape them along the back wall (white) at eye level. Would give good dispersion, still dim enough to not get in the way of the stage.
I'm also looking for recommendations to give the owner for permanent basis.
that would probably include something dimmable, maybe from the light board.
Thx!
Cheers
