Lights!

We received our new lighting system this week. Matt will announce it Sunday, but I thought I'd give you a sneak preview.

We have had a problem since we started with lighting. The rooms we meet in are not lit in any significant way making the speaker look shadowed out. In the Cade building we could turn some of the flood lights on the track system and give a little more light, but part of connecting with the audience is the ability to read faces, and we just haven't had good lighting for it.

When we moved into the FLRS building we discovered another lighting problem. One of the florescent lights buzzes very loudly. So loudly it is distracting. We are trying to address these problems by adding a light system that will throw light from the elevated back of the room. This will be an experiment of sorts. We will try different settings over the next several weeks. We're searching for a way to provide enough light for taking notes while eliminating the florescent lights altogether. We'll figure it out, thank you for your patience.
