Hi folks,
I have a bit of a dilemma with a new stage install. We have a bi-parting traveler (21 oz fire retardant velour at 75% fullness) just upstage of a dead-hung lighting position. The traveler track and batten are specified at the same height (due to space considerations, otherwise I'd have wanted the lighting batten higher). Our lighting contractor says 18" between the traveler track and electric batten should be fine, but this seems awfully tight for access, maintenance, and allowing movement. The drape material would be 12 to 15 inches from the batten. I might have some profile spots and eventually movers on that batten, so I'm wondering if I should move the batten 6" downstage. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!!
