Hi Kira, We have all of our cables checked and certified on an annual basis, but not our monos. I find the main problem with our lighting is capacitors blowing which has never been assessed as a hazard but doesn't seem particularly dangerous (others may wish to differ here!). We make a point of always unplugging sources when not in use and tend to service only when required (as I suspect is the case with most studio). I'd be interested to hear what others in the cultural heritage sector think about this.

Do any of the professional photo studios you work in have their equipment (especially monoheads and generators) serviced on a regular basis and if so, how often? Many thanks, Kira ______________________________________________________________________________ This email has been filtered by SMX.
