Trade Show Lighting at the Las Vegas Convention Center

Tweet

The Las Vegas Convention Center is one of the largest venues for trade shows in the world, and customers frequently ask which display lights are approved for use there.

If you’re attending a show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, use this post as your guideline for appropriate lighting.  If you’re attending a trade show at any other venue, make sure to check the lighting policies beforehand.  You don’t want to be scrambling to find new lights for your booth at the last minute.  According to Bruce Baker, a booth design expert, proper lighting will boost sales more than any other item you can purchase for your exhibit.

The Las Vegas Convention Center restricts the use of some types of halogen lighting due to fire safety issues they have had in the past.  The following lights are restricted:

• Fixtures that use a linear halogen bulb
• Fixtures that use a non-shielded halogen bulb
• Light bulbs used in fixtures that exceed the permitted maximum wattage marked on the fixture
• Light bulbs that exceed 75 watts

Linear halogen bulbs that are not sealed are restricted.

MR11/MR16 halogen bulbs without front glass are restricted.

Unsealed bipin halogen bulbs are restricted.

Unsealed mini-candelabra base bulbs are restricted.

Halogen bulbs must have an additional glass shield to prevent direct handling in order to be approved for use at the Las Vegas Convention Center.  The following lights are approved, as long as they do not exceed 75 watts:

120V MR16 halogen bulbs with a glass cover are approved.

PAR halogen bulbs that are sealed are approved.

12V MR11 and MR16 halogen bulbs with glass covers are approved.
