The Lights:
· Wash- covers the whole stage in any colour of choice. The best position for wash lighting is a 45-degree angle from the side or the front of stage. This will light the whole area with some shadow and thus avoiding the stage or artist appearing flat and one dimensional.
· Spot- used to accentuate the performance area, usually positioned from the front or above the artist.
· LED- can be programmed to change colour live and without the use of a gel
· Movers- moving lights are used to follow artists that are constantly moving during a performance.
Power
The power used for lighting should be from a clean source. This is a source of power that is not being used for any other purpose.
Control
Lighting desks vary from very simple ones that can dim and brighten several lights to those more complex computer based desks can be linked to hundreds of lights and whole rooms of dimmer devices. More complex desks can be programmed in various and almost unlimited ways to create various effects.
