There are plenty of materials on stage that are combustible, and when placed near stage lights, can create a dangerous situation if not tended to properly.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips to make sure that your next production goes off without incident:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep all exits clear and unobstructed:<\/strong> Not only does blocking exits put your audience at risk, it&#039;s also illegal and can result in the facility receiving a citation from the fire marshal. In addition, this can also expose you to fines from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) if you have employees whose safety was threatened.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leave plenty of space around lighting:<\/strong> Lights should have adequate ventilation so that air can flow around the device and keep it cool. This is particularly important if you&#039;re setting up lighting in a space where they are normally not used, such as a wedding or other private event in a rented space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Train all of your staff in the use of fire extinguishing equipment:<\/strong> Placing these responsibilities in the hands of one person can be a mistake if they&#039;re not going to be around the lighting equipment at all times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another way to eliminate fire hazards with your lighting equipment is to rely on LED <a href=\"https:\/\/gobosource.com\/gos\/custom-gobos-pricing.php\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">gobo image<\/a> projectors manufactured by Gobosource.com. LED bulbs run at much cooler temperatures than conventional halogen lights, and as a result you won&#039;t need to worry as much about keeping them ventilated or cooled throughout the show or performance.
