Flash triggers and disco lighting?

I have agreed to do a couple of "mobile studio" events this summer at summer balls.... I just spoke to one of the places where the first function is taking place....

They have a space 10x20m wide for me to use, only problem is... It is actually part of the main dining room/disco area (20x20m)... They are divided by a few pillars... but essentially its the same room..


This is going to make consistant lighting a nightmare... but my initial concern is this....

If I am using a wireless trigger to fire one studio flash, and then allowing that to trigger the other two.... will the disco (and possibly other camera flashes about 15-20m away) continuously trigger my flash setup?

I am sure plenty of you have been shoved in a similar predicament... any ideas of how to get around this problem?

Or should I be stomping my feet and asking to be moved into another room?... (that might cost a lot!)
 
couple more wireless recievers to trigger the other flashes?
 
If your second light is optically triggered then it'll probably go off with every other flash of bright light :nuts:
 
be worth investing in more wireless recievers methinks espesh if your being paid.
Might be fine probably won't best not to find out.

Though the dj might be happy to have a bit more juice from an STL (sound to light - like the coloured ones that change pattern or colour with each bass beat) light :D
 
Yup... good idea.... Am trying to find some more recievers to work with my trigger... I cant stop the flash heads triggering them selves through the slave sensor though.... GRRR!!!
