Here's my take on regs that are unreasonable and which ruin presentation -- ignore them. If in the course of human history someone, sometime comes from a regulatory agency to my theatre and says, hey, your exit lights don't meet our brightness standard, then I'll do something about them. Until then, I rely on inertia and incompetence on the part of the bureaucratic hump-busters to never come near my theatre. When there are REAL safety issues, these guys never show up to force management to correct them, so I take my cue from that. I'll always bet on the general inefficiency of such govenment inspection departments.That being said, safety is always a major concern of mine and I will correct REAL problems wherever I see them and I don't need some bureaucratic civil servant to tell me about it. As for your EXIT signs Antonio, If they are the type that have incandescant bulbs, just replace the bulbs with smaller wattage sizes. If they are the red LED types, Rosco makes a neutral filter gel. Just by a few sheets of that stuff and cut pieces to fit exactly over the face of the sign. It might take more than one piece. This will reduce the light enough so as not to compromise the screen image, yet they will still be bright enough for anyone to see.
