So, we have a situation where we are moving to a temporary (3 years) location in a small venue that will have a small stage (16' wide x 8' deep with a 4' apron). The stage will take slightly less than 1/5 of the room. During the day, it is a large TV lounge and gathering space. There will also be small comedy acts and acoustic bands, etc, coming through. The lights are wired to switches, but when we turn all the switches off, 3 of the lights remain on. These are the emergency lighting.
My questions are...
1) why will these lights not turn off (is it a code reason, etc)
2) Is there a way that we can modify them so that they can be off during performances when we would have other lighting on, in the space already?
3) Is there a code violation for putting gels in the lights? (other than if the power does go out that they need to be able to be lit for 90 minutes at a certain lumen output, etc......)
Anyone experience anything like this?
Any solutions?
Thanks!
