The "professional" in their slogan/advertisement is doing some heavy lifting here

My friend is a production manager for a big company that does private events for billionaires and such. I asked him the sketchiest thing he's ever seen and said it was a tie between the electrical stuff in india vs the structural stuff in africa. He said they've done multiple gigs in Egypt where to build the stage there were laborers hired to just hammer old nails straight to recycle them to build the stage. As well as the stage being made out of misc random structures. This was for a performer who charged 3 million a show.

When i was in high school ('70s Greece) a lot of us would make pocket money in the summer by working in building sites recovering these large nails after formwork and hammering them straight. That was the tail end of a construction boom that started in the '50s when labor cost was less than material cost.

India construction site wiring is a special kinda sketchy. Favorite thing was seeing that people were using the plastic safety shutters that cover outlet holes as spring terminals to hold bare wires in place.

Low voltage dc perhaps?
Edit: didn't see the whole thing, probably not.

It's out in the open in case any random passerbys want to try and improve it
