We host a "Prism" concert for our music department annually and what that entails is performers occupying all areas of the theatre, not just the stage. This presents some unique challenges as far as lighting is concerned, but I'm trying to find a safer way to downlight two zones that are almost underneath our catwalk. I've got the front light taken care of with a 12" side arm on a leko from our coves and a shoebox dimmer in the projection booth.
The previous TD set up a cheeseborough attached to the railing to extend a 2' piece of schedule 40 out beyond the side of the catwalk so he could get downlight on top of the zone below. There's about 1' of a metal mesh that juts out at the bottom of the catwalk and the trick is to get the fixture mounted beyond that so you avoid casting odd shadows.
Last year I ran a safety through the pipe to the fixture, but I'm still not 100% happy with this setup. Am I being overcautious? I was looking at this and thinking it might be a better solution.
