Hi all
I want to pick the brains of the lighting professionals here. I am by no way a lighting professional and learned everything I know hands on. As I have said before I use to be a technical director for a local youth theatre which had basically due to a financial issues went on hiatus. Well it looks as if the group is moving locations and possibly starting back up. WIth that being said many years ago we were donated some strip lights. These lights use regular flood light bulbs that you would use in your house the screw into a fixture and not the type of light bulbs that go into a stage light. The person that donated them to us said they have asbestos in them and need to be rewired. The wires coming out of them have on soft white over the little wires under them going to the plugs. So I know those need new wires. Does that mean inside them have asbestos as well? How easy would these be to rewire and is it worth it to rewire them? They are in good condition. I am not a electrician. I do rewire the stage pin ends on our other lights by following the wiring on the old end I am taking off on the new end I am putting on. So I can follow the wiring on what I am taking off with the new wiring I am putting on. If it is worth it what gage of wire do I need?
Do my questions are
Is there Abstoes inside as the stage lights as well as the wires going from the lights streps tp the plug?
Are they worth rewiring?
What gage of wire do I use to rewire?
Is it easy to rewire them?
Thanks
