Information Regarding Professional Led Moving Head Stage Lights

By David Stewart


A lot of bar rooms and dancing clubs will have a lighting system installed to create an eye catching light show. Often these will include colored cans, flashing traffic light units or maybe single white or colored spots. One of the most effective ways to create a spectacular visual display is to add professional led moving head stage lights to your lighting rig.

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.

Led moving heads are very flexible due to the way they are designed to rotate and swivel in your chosen direction. A vast array of colors can be emitted from a single unit by fitting different bulbs but improved effects can be obtained by using more than 1 light unit. The lights will also function in other ways when they have been connected to a DMX box and programming various sequences.

If your lighting system is operated using just sound activation they will turn and swivel in conjunction with the music. The direction in which they move will be random and not controlled and may alter depending on the volume coming from the speakers. When they are connected to a control unit they can be programmed to operate to a sequence chosen by the person operating them.

This type of lighting can also be controlled manually via a controller as well and this can be very useful when lighting a performer who tends to move around a lot. A single beamed spotlight can be used to illuminate a singer or solo performer and kept on them as they move around the stage. Multiple colors and shapes can also be controlled by the person operating the control box.

You do not need to be a trained lighting expert to get good results from a DMX. With some tuition on the system the results can be dramatic. Text can be produced so the names of bands or clubs can be projected onto a backdrop. A large amount of numbers, shapes and colors can transform a bland room into a fantastic show. The more channels that are available, the more complex the effects will be.

When the lights are connected to a box infinite movements and patterns can be programmed after a little tuition on how to operate the system. Business logos can also be projected onto walls and ceilings and even small bits of text. The complexity of the effect will depend on the number of led lights used and on how many channels the DMX has on it.

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.
