Strobe / Fast Changing Lights

Any exhibitors / contractors wishing to use strobes or fast changing visuals on their stand are to notify the organisers at least 30 days prior to the start of the Event, with a clear, detailed explanation. 

 
The below regulations are mandatory when using strobes or fast changing visuals: 

  • Strobes are to be mounted as high above head height as is practicable 

  • The number of flashes or image changes is less than 5 per second (5Hz) 

  • Strobes are not permitted to be on, for more than 30 seconds at any one time 

  • Any effect should be positioned outside the normal eyeline of the public or delegates 

  • Where more than one strobe light is being used the flashes should be synchronized 

  • Warning signs must be present. 

  • Where possible, the lights should be bounced off walls and ceilings or diffused by other means so that glare is reduced. 

  • Continuous operation of strobe lighting for long periods over 30 minutes, should be avoided. 

  • Strobe lighting is prohibited on the staircases of all double deck / 2 storey stands 

  • The maximum intensity level allowed for this type of light will be 3000 lux measured at 2 meters from any point on the ground 

  • Any special effects on the stand should be positioned in a way that any neighbouring stands are not affected. Any complaints from neighbouring stands will result in the onsite Health & Safety representative investigating 

  • Under no circumstances may light be projected directly or indirectly on passage areas such as walkways, skywalks, aisle or common areas 

The Organisers and/or the Venue, reserve the right to curtail or ban demonstrations if complaints are received.
