What are Different Types of Stage Lighting Equipment?
Due to the different performances on the stage, the requirements for the stage lighting equipment will also be different. Therefore, we must know what kind of repertoire is mainly performed on this stage before allocating stage lighting equipment. Matching stage lighting fixtures must understand the types of stage lighting and their main functions and uses. The following is a brief introduction to the performance of some luminaires so that it is easier to choose the right lighting equipment.
• Moving Head Light
The moving head light moves through the X and Y axes to achieve functions such as color change, patterning, and strobe. It has a strong sense of movement. Almost all the devices before 2012 are halogen bulb light sources as the light source of the moving head light. The power is generally 1000W, 1200W, and 575W. Especially the 575W moving head light is the mainstream configuration in the stage lighting. However, with the rise of LED moving head lighting technology, the trend of LED moving head lights to replace ordinary light source moving head lights become more and more obvious. According to the feedback from the 2013 Prolight+Sound Frankfurt Fair and USA LDI Show, almost all exhibitors exhibited LED moving head lights. The advantages of LED lighting technology determine the superiority of its lighting equipment. Low energy consumption, long life, high brightness, more controllability, lightweight. LED 200W and LED 230W is currently the mainstream configuration of LED moving head lights. Such as Shining 200w LED beam spot moving head light and 230w LED beam spot wash moving head light provide very strong light sources for stages.
• LED Par Lights
PAR lights generally have PAR30, PAR36, PAR46, PAR56, PAR64. It is used to illuminate the stage, dynamic color change, etc., a common lighting fixture on the stage. Because the power consumption is relatively large, and there is a feeling of baking, now gradually replaced by LED lights. But now it has developed into an LED par light (Parcan light). The advantages of the LED PAR light are small power, high beam brightness, and automatic color change, pure wash effect.
• Spotlights.
The spotlight used on the stage refers to the use of a plano-convex condenser in front of the light. This kind of lamp can adjust the size of the light spot, the outgoing beam is more concentrated, and the diffused light is smaller. The power ranges from 0.5W to 5KW, and the focal length is divided into long, medium and short. The distance depends on the needs. LED light sources make excellent spotlights.
• Soft Lights.
In the television industry, this kind of lamp is called an astigmatism lamp. In order to distinguish the above flat and convex spotlights on the stage, lighting designers use soft light, so the diffuse area is larger. Sometimes in order to control its diffuse light, a cover page is added in front of the mirror to block it Its characteristic is that the light area is large, unlike the spotlight which has the feeling of the obvious light spot. The power is 1KW, 2KW, and so on.
• Broad Lights
Such as iodine tungsten lamps and ordinary floodlights, mainly to illuminate a certain area evenly, or some scenes.
• Floodlights
It is a high-power astigmatism lamp, used to place on the stage surface. It is bright and even and has a large irradiation area.
• Effect light
Generally, the built-in patterns and color effects of the lighting fixtures. LED light source technology is commonly used. Luminaires with certain effects are generally very cheap. They will automatically run after power is turned on, and can produce patterns or gobos. There are also voice-controlled products, which are relatively low-end products.
• Laser Dance Lighting
The laser light is reflected by two vibrating mirrors, which divides a laser beam into many beams. Like a space-time tunnel, it can also produce patterns, characters, etc., and the high-speed laser beam works very well. But the price of such laser lights is also expensive, mainly used in some large-scale performances, concerts and other activities. At present, there are dance performances merging with lasers on the market, such as laser harp, laser dance, etc., which have achieved good results.
