5 Ways to Green Your Stage
1. Don’t leave the house lights on when there is no one in the audience area
2. Replace your Ghost Light lamp with a compact Fluorescent
3. Only use enough stage lights during rehearsal to light the rehearsal…no need to burn ’em all.
4. Recycle cardboard, cans, and glass. You do it at home!
5. Fix it or upgrade it – most lighting equipment can be repaired for less than the cost of replacement.
Parlights offers upgrade and repair services for equipment from a variety of manufacturers, including Altman Lighting, Strand Lighting, and Entertainment Technology, and EDI.
