You guys obviously don't remember the 70's party trick of shoving a flourescent starter in series with a normal (coloured) 60W incandescsent bulb and creating great random flashing lights for home parties. -- But then no self respecting spark would ever admit to knowing about that trick!
 
we had lasers and video projectors at our parties....;)


well actually I do remember one party where the lighting effects somehow ended up involving a torch and a christmas baubble being spun by hand.

There was also one party that involved some electrical work on the fly using tin can fuses and plugs being ripped off the decks and them being wired direct into the socket before I erm sorry my friend had to switch to that deck before the record ended on the other deck.... which probably wouldn't pass muster on the old risk assessment. Or maybe I imagined it.
 
I was running round in short pants in the 70's but have been guilty of occasional iffy electrical lighting effects for the Venture Scout disco in the 80's.
Then I moved to Manc in the 90's and the less said about the electrics in the nurses digs the better really.
