NEW YORK – Three of PLASA’s published photometrics standards are being considered for reaffirmation. The standards are sold by The ESTA Foundation. The public review forms and instructions are available at http://tsp.plasa.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php. Materially affected members of the public are invited to review them. The reviews for all three run until May 1; the last day to comment is April 30.
ANSI E1.9-2007 (R201x), Entertainment Technology – Reporting Photometric Performance Data for Luminaires Used in Entertainment Lighting, defines the minimum photometric data to be presented on documents purporting to accurately describe the photometric performance of stage and studio luminaires used in the live entertainment and performance industries.
ANSI E1.35 – 2007 (R201x), Standard for Lens Quality Measurements for Pattern Projecting Luminaires Intended for Entertainment Use, describes a method for measuring stage and studio luminaire lens quality with particular emphasis on contrast and perceived image quality (sharpness). It also offers a way for presenting these results on a datasheet in a format that is readily understood by a typical end-user and that allows the end-user to directly compare lenses in a meaningful way.
ANSI E1.36 – 2007 (R2012), Model Procedure for Permitting the Use of Tungsten-Halogen Incandescent Lamps and Stage and Studio Luminaires in Vendor Exhibit Booths in Convention and Trade Show Exhibition Halls, is a model set of procedures that can be used by convention center and trade show exhibition hall staff to mitigate the risks perceived to be associated with the use of tungsten-halogen lamps and stage and studio luminaires in convention centers and trade show exhibition halls, and to allow their use in a safe manner.
