Did not see it myself.

Of course if it had killed them then they wouldn't need to worry about any further warnings....

Music show...
Big production....
Flashing lights and images? Surely not!!

I think a warning about the musical content would have been more appropriate.

People that suffer with the condition should stick to listening to the radio.

What a load of arse.

I just watched the Westlife performance on YT and at no point did the lasers create a 15Hz intence flash rate. The way they piped on about it, I was looking for the use of strobes. Not onec did the lasers pass across the lens of any of the camara's in the studio.

But three people complained so they had to take action and investigate !!!!!

That's 3.
One, Two, Three.
Out of a TV audience of millions.

I think this thread should be appended to the "Worlds gone mad" one.

Anyone know any info about the lasers used?

More importantly , how does this affect us out in the field using lasers

Sounds like the sign up outside venues should no longer be

"LASERS IN USE"

but rather

"Lasers in use , warning strobing and flashing effects ? "

"Lasers in use , warning strobing and flashing effects ? "

Mine have always said something to that effect anyway. Covers all the bases and a rapidly scanned image could be considered to be strobing.

More PC. How did we all manage in the 70's & 80's?

The newspapers were hardly covered with stories about the deaths of people who died watching tv!

I just hope they put warnings on and keep the lasers.

QS now specifically has a strobe effect as I presume will future versions of LD / Beyond etc.

I guess warning signs are the only way forwards although that said, who goes to a nightclub and doesn't expect strobes?
