Festoon
Festoon was used to create a circus atmosphere, Because this was handled by the cast, it was required to be shatterproof. it took 30 x 40 Watt pearl Shatterproof bulbs for one 15M length of festoon.
These Bulbs were bought from a supplier called Covershield.
Lightbulb Halo
The Lightbulb Halo was a main part of the set, as it was the main element representing the Carousel.
My task was to wire up all 80 Lightbulbs in 4 circuits, so it could chase and look as though they were all chasing round the ring.
Firstly I found out the measurement between bulbs, (I used my Vectorworks plan to do this) and then made a template, see below.
I then laid out all the fittings where they go on the ring, and began wiring.
This was wired in Parallel, Each Live, and Neutral went in to the live and neutral points, and then out, and on to the next one. see explanation on Parallel wiring.
Final wiring in 4 circuits
