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.

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 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.

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.

If a fully programmable system is needed in your venue it should be noted that specialist cables will also be required to complete installation and make everything function. These complicated lighting systems should be installed by a certified lighting technician. Some of the is quite expensive and you should always try and buy the best quality that is available at the time.

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.
