The studio lamps were placed much closer to the aircraft windows than the minimum safe distance of 10m, and there were a lot of them. According to the spec sheet for the Maxibrute 12 lamp head [1], it has 12 1000W PAR64 halogen lamps and the surface external can reach 400 C. The data sheet for an Osram PAR64 1000W lamp [2] has the following safety advice: “To prevent personal injury or damage to property, halogen lamps may only be operated in suitable luminaires designed with suitable mechanisms (cover panel etc.) to ensure that in the event of a lamp bursting no parts/shards can escape and that during operation no ultraviolet radiation can escape. Because of the heat produced only heat-resistant lamp connections (holders) may be used. Do not operate near people, or any materials that are flammable, sensitive to heat or affected by drying out.

Second lighting-related incident I've heard about in a week (after the Bored Apes UV incident). Seems proper lighting engineers are unsung heroes?

  I’d love to read an AAIB report for that accident! It sounds like there were some significant eye injuries.

    Probably won't be an AAIB report as it was at a crypto conference in Hong Kong I believe.

      Indeed, the AAIB report I had in mind is purely hypothetical. There are other organizations better-positioned to publish a visually appealing, well-written preliminary report of a non-aircraft accident. But I like the AAIB style of having concise descriptions, clear illustrations, and succinct tabular data. I prefer it to the NTSB’s standard format, and do believe I will read some more of these.
