This was the actual lighting done on the filming--I recall it quite well.
One of the more common techniques in the "disco era" of TV and not uncommon
even today--only the color has changed. Consider the blue, blue, blue lab
lighting of CSI, for example. That being said, the technical experts
probably didn't consider how terrible a choice of red for work lighting
would be as a practical matter. On the other hand, I suppose it would have
been easier on the makeup department as red lighting tends to hide facial
blemishes!
