AIMING ELEVATION
Track lighting is arranged to follow the arched geometry of the stage and is located 1 foot from the bottom step. Adjustable track heads are aimed downward at approximately 30 to 35 degrees to evenly illuminate the performance area. Fixtures are evenly spaced to reinforce the stage form, provide focused visibility for performers, and maintain an intimate speakeasy atmosphere with controlled glare.
