PAR Can
Simple, versatile fixture for strong beam of light; used in concerts and theatre. Consider the fixed beam spread and the need for different lamp types for varying angles.
Gobo Light
Projects patterns and images using a stencil or template. Considerations include the choice of gobo material, design intricacy, and heat resistance.
Strip Light
Used to create broad washes of light, primarily for cycloramas. Stage management should account for high power usage and heat output.
Beam Projector
Creates intense, parallel beams of light without lenses. Stage management must consider the light's tendency to cast hard shadows and limited focusing ability.
Fresnel
Produces a soft, diffused light perfect for washes. Stage management should consider its adjustable beam angle and easy blending for onstage areas.
Pin Spot
Emits a tight beam of light, used to highlight small areas or objects such as centerpieces. The fixture's subtlety and exact placement are important for stage management.
Ellipsoidal Reflector Spotlight (ERS)
Offers sharp focus and shaping capabilities, essential for gobo projections and selective lighting. Its heat output and power consumption are crucial considerations.
Intelligent Light
Advanced and multifunctional lighting unit with features like dimming, color change, and gobo manipulation. Complex programming and power requirements should be noted.
Automated or Moving Head Light
Robotized lighting instrument capable of movement and changing parameters. Maintenance, programming time, and versatility are critical management points.
Flood Light
Provides wide, unfocused light ideal for general illumination. Energy efficiency and area coverage are major considerations for stage management.
Scoop
An unrefined floodlight that emits a large amount of light without much control. Its affordability and versatility for non-specific washes are points to consider.
Follow Spot
Portable spotlight used to follow an actor around stage. Key considerations include operator proficiency, equipment positioning, intensity, and beam size.
