LET THERE BE…

This morning, whilst shopping for kitchen towels, washing up liquid, and the like, at my local Home Bargains store, I noticed that they had the following for sale, at very affordable prices…

8” Mirror Ball

6” Disco Ball

10” Disco Ball

Sound to light Traffic Light

Battery-operated Strobe Light

Presumably they were aimed at the Christmas party market.

I have suggested the use of a mirror ball effect at least, in some of my scripts, and whilst I know next to nothing about stage lighting, and a ‘proper’ lighting man would probably say that these are mere toys, it did occur to me that they might be the kind of thing some small amateur dramatic societies with a tight budget, would be able to afford and use.

This was purely an observation. I have no connection whatsoever, with Home Bargains. They claim to have 250 stores throughout the country.
