I prefer to increase lighting if there are less experienced people present. Extra red lights on top of, behind and below equipment. Most SVAA camp attendees recall my "ring of death" red light rope that surrounds my little encampment - when I have 240V available.

If I bump into a chair, table, scope, tent rope in the dark, and I have , that's my fault, in my opinion. I'm not suing anyone*


(*except, perhaps the Tak owners. By definition, they have money!)

In seriousness, my main concern is mains electricity on the field. I'd like to see a thread with safety suggestions that we should all follow.
