Television Lighting Claim (It's Bad For You)
From time to time, most recently in William Hawes' book on pre-1946 television drama, I have come across the claim that the lighting requirements of early television were so great that performers risked skin burns from it. It seems unlikely to me. Heatstroke, yes, and even having one's hair catch fire, as happened with the late Michael Jackson, but burned skin from the lighting alone? Is there anything to these claims?
