As we head into the Christmas festivities and panto season, many people will be thinking about booking a show or attending one they have eagerly anticipated for months.
The last thing on their minds as they enter the auditorium, armed with refreshments, is electrical safety and compliance. Fortunately, this is where HPES’s expertise comes in; we know how vital emergency or backup lighting is, particularly in a venue where several hundred people are seated.
In theatres, emergency lighting is the illumination provided in the event of an emergency power outage, lighting up escape routes, around exit doors and stairs, as well as safety equipment. It is often derived from a central battery system and associated changeover, control, invertor, and charging equipment.
To save electricity, a common mistake theatres make with their central battery system is changing all lamps to low-energy consumption lamps. Unfortunately, this can cause in-rush currents for which the systems aren’t designed, resulting in expensive invertor failures.
Time permitting, providing a generator, or hiring a lighting solution can save the show.
Let your audience become immersed in and enjoy the creative experience they have been looking forward to seeing. You can enjoy the peace of mind that your central battery system is safe, compliant, and up to the job.
