I find the best thing is to have warning signs in the foyer and the program. Strobes you have to be careful with. Strobe lighting has been known to induce epileptic seizures. Epileptics who are flicker-sensitive are likely to experience a full seizure if triggered. Flicker rates of 4 flashes/second or less are recommended and all strobes should be synchronised when more than one is used. also make sure your cast is aware of the use of smoke and strobe and be mindful of their health in relantionship to using these devices.
