As discussed in my previous posts, I have mounted 750 watt "up-lights" under the Plexi-glass platforms. But the stage-left platform requires a large staircase that rolls in and out. This creates a challenge. When the step unit is retracted in the "stowed" position, it makes it impossible to turn on the large spotlights under there. So I had to come up with supplemental "up-lights" for those instances when the steps are stowed.
So I had my Stagecraft class mount 6 low-powered "pin spots" under the Plexi-glass along the lip of the stage-left platform. These are 50 volt, 40 watt spotlights that are intended to shoot at a mirrorball in a nightclub. The produce very little heat and are safe to use in close proximity to the Plexi-glass. They will only be used a few times for short periods.
