  1. your entrance point is the easy bit and I've seen standard DJ Bridge type set ups do the job perfectly well on many occasion as that offers you the opportunity to hang standard lights all around it/quick to rig etc. The ring lighting however is a nightmare for this if trying to make a single solution work for every venue - in my experience you need to be a minimum of 4metres above the height of the ring platform to avoid dazzling the wrestlers (preferably much more especially if you move back from the ring itself) so the stands you mention are barely tall enough - of course you can mount lights on top of the bars rather than below and that'll give you another 30cm of height. As Paul has stated - stability is an issue. As you'll know the audience can often include kids which can add an extra level of random behaviour on top of an already excitable crowd. There's also the potential for additional vibration in the room if the flooring is a bit bouncy. If mounting next to the ring then make sure the wrestler's cannot reach it or be thrown onto it. I'd second that a square box solution around the ring is the best option for stability
  2. Hi All I was looking to purchase a bespoke piece of draping for a conference event in a hotel and the manufacturers have come back to me when quizzed about fire retardant properties saying: "Thanks for your enquiry. We do not advertise or supply any drapes with fire retardant certificate or treatment. Our drapes are decorative products for events which need to be taken off after events, so does not require fire certificates as they are not permanent fixtures." To me it is irrelevant if they are permanent fixtures or not! The chances of a fire during an event is much greater than when a room is unused so that seems an odd position to take for a company that specifically sells drapes for events. But I'm having difficulty finding anything that clearly sets out the requirements to prove that they need to be (I can find plenty on standard of fire protection, just not when it is required). If anyone can point me to a source of such that'd be much appreciated Many thanks
  3. Hi Brian

    If you're still looking for a followspot colour magazine - I may be able to assist. I've got one which I believe came off a strand 818 followspot - if you can send me the dimensions you need then I'll check that.

  4. had a similar problem with a Strand 250ML - It doesn't like USB sticks which are 8Gb or more in size. tried a 4GB stick and it worked first time.
