[Usittne] Special light when there are people in the grid

[Matthew Breton]

It should be relatively easy to wire a light off the same circuit that powers work lights in the grid, but have the receptacle at stage level. (I'd suspect if it were on a separate circuit it would become conveniently forgotten.)

I would suggest a backlit sign saying "Workers on grid" (all caps) on either side of the stage. Like an "On Air" sign for a radio station.  Sized appropriately for your stage dimensions.

Subject: [Usittne] Special light when there are people in the grid

I’d like to have some sort of on-the-stage-floor-level light that can be turned on when there are people in the grid overhead.  I think a strobe or even police car bubble like light would be an unwelcome distraction, yet I’d like it to be a strong enough presence that people know it’s on.

Have any of you invented this particular wheel?

Hope y’all are well.
