Hello Jan,
I would not want any streamers striking your power cables or lights. If so, you might destroy any electronic items plugged into the power line. I think you have the right idea. Add some grounded shielding. For good measure, I also unplug any sensitive electronic devices, such as computers, from the power line during operation.

Subject: [TCML] Streamer hits to power cabling
Hi,
I am getting close to testing my 315 mm tesla coil for the first time. But I think there is a possibility for streamer strikes to the overhead fluorescent lighting fixtures, or the suspended cabling for these.
How would you assess the risk for damage to cabling or lighting fixtures?
If necessary I could screen the cabling with a copper mesh connected to RF ground, or move the flourescent lighting, but that is a lot of work, so I would like to see to what extent the streamers are attracted to the cables first.
