4, At the end of the show, the guests left the scene, the lighting engineer should turn off all the equipment, and let the equipment heat dissipation for fifteen to twenty minutes, and then the equipment for sealing or masking, the lighting engineer can leave the scene.

Lighting equipment maintenance relative to sound is more complex, but also more trivial, basically to do daily routine testing, weekly periodic testing, monthly equipment maintenance, and proper debugging.

Routine testing scope includes:
