The Benefits Of Using Moving Head Lights

By Nancy Sanders


Many bar rooms and music clubs will have some kind of lighting installed to create an instant eye catching show. These will usually include different colored cans, flashing lights or maybe just a single moveable white spotlight. A far better and more effective way to create a visual display is to add Moving head lights to your equipment and there are many advantages.

A moving head can be purchased in a great many sizes and designs but it is very important to select the correct configuration. They will either be ceiling mounted or can be fixed to a custom metal rack and in some cases are free standing. These lights can work in a couple of ways either through a sound activation sensor or by having an operator to control or program them to their chosen routines.

Stage lighting has a great deal of flexibility and they can spin 360 degrees and are able to twist and turn in a lot of directions. Using a mixture of bulbs in many colors the operator can achieve a number of hues and better effects when adding more units. By connecting and linking them to a DMX controller the number of applications is vastly increased.

If you are operating this lighting using only the sound activation mode the units will spin and rotate in time with the rhythm of the music that is being played. The movements will be completely random and differ with changes in sound and volume. By connecting the lighting to a DMX box they can be programmed in many ways well in advance of your show.

A degree of manual operation can often be achieved by using one DMX and this is often an advantage when focusing on a performer who will move around while they are performing. A Spotlight effect may be aimed at many different areas of the stage. Many variations in shapes and colors may also be input and will then be beamed out from a unit.

A trained lighting expert is not needed to get some good results from a DMX. With basic tuition on the system results can often be dramatic. Text can be produced and the names of bands can be shown on a backdrop. An amount of numbers and colors can transform a boring room into a great show. The more channels that are on the box, the more effects you will have.

If a professional programmable system is being fitted in your premises it should be noted that some special cables and connecting plugs will also need to be fitted to complete the installation and make everything function. These lighting systems should only be installed by a qualified lighting technician. Some of the cables and plugs are often expensive and you should try to source and buy the best quality that is on the market and within your budget.

All lighting will at some point need routine inspections if it is being used regularly. The lights glass lenses should be kept free from any debris and cleaned and the bulbs should be replaced if they happen to fail. The motors that control the movement of these units should be well maintained and inspected at periodic intervals to ensure efficiency.
