Lighting help for show
Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2013 5:10 pm
I'm looking for suggestions for lighting my indoor show booth next month. This is for an annual show I do where I'm using pipe & drape, so there aren't any cross poles over my booth. I've got track lighting with halogen spots (or floods, I always forget which), so they're heavy. I've got them zip-tied to 8 foot long metal bars which means I've got to use them diagonally placed over the corners of my booth. That's been ok but last year someone bumped my booth from behind, knocking one of the bars down, breaking lights and a few pieces of my artwork. My booth this year is 8x10 feet; I'd love to have two light bars extending in an L-shape, since that's how I want to do my tables this year.
But that means needing one pole that can be over 10 feet long, so it overhangs my P&D a little on each end (I secure it to the pipes) and one that's a bit over 8 feet. Oh yeah, they have to telescope or something, since I don't think my van will fit an 11 foot pole! I've seen people with Pro-panels using those cool light bars that attach on top of their panels, but with P&D I don't have the structural integrity.
Any ideas?
