Halogen Wash Light Ban (Las Vegas CC only)
Notice
LVCVA Policy on Halogen Lighting (effective January 2003)
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority
"Only 'Sealed Beam' covered halogen bulbs no more than 75 watts are deemed safe for use within the LVCC- Las Vegas Convention Center".

Why is LVCVA limiting the use of halogen lighting?
LVCVA has experienced several fire safety incidents arising from the use of stem and track mounted, halogen wash light fixtures attached to exhibit booths and where the fixtures utilize linear high wattage halogen bulbs. Typically these hazards arise from misuse and poor maintenance practices, rather than from any deficiency in the design of the fixture or the halogen bulb it contains.
We were just there in March and saw extensive use of wash lights at the Sands Expo. Perhaps you should check with your show's management to be sure if your specific exhibit hall allows halogen wash lights or not. We can provide rental halogen lighting that IS approved for use in Las Vegas.

We have not encountered any similar restrictions any where else - but many companies may be planning to exhibit in Vegas. After all, it has the largest number of shows nationwide.

Handy wall mount adapter

For quick attachment of our focus lights to any type of wall. Ask for a white power cord if desired.

Our Current Product Mix

Our “Displaybright” light was one of our original display lights introduced 16 years ago. It is our top of the line “focus” arm light. This light utilizes low voltage MR-16 halogen bulbs with a wide range of different wattages, beam spreads, colors, frosted bulbs, as well as the new Philips energy efficient hi output 45 watt IRC MR-16.

We offer over 35 different display lights providing a variety of effects that are all adjustable and mount anywhere!!

Repair & refurbish.

Some of you may have a few Brightman lights that have been "well used" and no longer out on the road selling with you. We can repair and replace worn components for a modest charge and in quick order.

Powerful Tip!.

Don't forget to calculate and order extra "wattage" for you booth from your show's designated electrical contractor. Late orders, Show orders or being audited for wattage used at shows can be more expensive than a few of our lights. Typical booth power requirements range from the low end of 5 watts per square foot to an average of 10 watts and some use 15 watts/sq ft.

To learn more about lighting layouts and power consumption visit the booth layouts page in our Technical Dept. online.

Instruction sheets.

We have the instruction sheets for all of our lights in a downloadable PDF format on our "Technical" Menu online .
