House Lights Control
A device which allows for simultaneous control of all the permanent facility lighting in a meeting room or show venue from one central location.
The house lights control unit is provided by the venue. Rather than controlling the house lights in sections at each wall panel, this device routes all house lights to the tech booth. From there, the LD can adjust the house light levels when videos are played, during audience Q&A, etc. The charge for the device may be included in the contract for the room.
It is important to confirm that the house lighting in your room is isolated from adjoining rooms. Lighting control can be linked together or separated in many venues based on the air wall configuration.
