Live music venues and clubs will frequently use disco lights to enhance the atmosphere for concerts and live performances. Using standard equipment such as spotlights or beamed box light units will give a fairly basic show and a limited range of effects. A much more professional display can be achieved by using some professional led moving head stage lights.
A moving head unit can be purchased in many different sizes and designs and it is important to select the correct type. They will usually be ceiling mounted or fixed to a metal rack and in some cases are used as standalone units. These lights work in a few different ways either through sound activation or by having an operator to manually control or program them to perform routines.
This kind of professional lighting is very versatile as the units are built to rotate through 360 degrees and are aimed in different directions. Various colors can be emitted from the units depending on what kind of led bulbs are fitted. Even more variations are possible by using two or more light units or when they have been connected to a DMX controller.
If you are using this kind of lighting using only sound activation the units will usually spin and rotate in time with the beat of the music. Movements will be random and differ with changes in sound and the volume level inside the room. By connecting them to a DMX control box they can be programmed in advance to perform sequences quite easily.
When a singer is the focus of the lighting, operating the lights via a box allows the operator to track their movements across the stage while they are performing. The unit can also function in a similar way to a single spot to highlight a performer or area of interest to the crowd. Both the shape and colors of the beams may be controlled by the operator to synchronize the light show to the on stage activity.
For better effects moving head units can be connected to a DMX box enabling different combinations of movements and patterns. Pictures can also be projected on to various areas of the room and this creates some interesting effects. The amount of lights in the unit and channels used to program the light will determine the level of the effects that may be obtained.
To install a complex system you will need to purchase cabling to ensure everything that needs to communicate can do so. The best people to do this work are qualified electrical engineers who can also ensure the wiring is safe and not dangerous. Good quality connectors and cables can be fairly expensive but always buy the best you can.
All stage lighting will need routine checkups and inspections by a technician if it is being used a lot. The lights lenses should be kept clean and free from any debris and the led bulbs should be replaced in the event of failure. The motors that control the movements of the units should also be maintained and inspected at regular interval to maintain a good condition.
