Things to Note About Event Lighting System

HOW IMPORTANT LIGHT IN THE EVENT?

In professional events, lighting is an important factor contributing to a successful event. Whether the event is large or small, to achieve the best quality and effect, it requires a lot of important factors, including lighting. Designing an eye-catching lighting system that matches the theme of the event is an art that not every event company can do. In addition, finding a reputable light rental unit is a direct determinant of the quality of the lighting system at the event.

The lighting system is also a tool to attract all eyes of the audience towards the stage. Besides, the diverse color variation of the lighting system is also an art of visual stimulation, making an impression on viewers.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT EVENT LIGHT

1. Classification of lighting systems

The event organizer must calculate the entire need and location of the event's lighting system clearly. Depending on the role and location of each area, the lighting equipment will be installed differently. Lighting helps create color for the event. Therefore, the event organization company must have specific and detailed design plans. Besides, having to check the progress regularly will help the event achieve high efficiency. Event lighting systems are generally divided into 3 types:

- Color light, white light : The color and white light system will move continuously to help create a background for activities in the event.

- Protective light : Protective light that is responsible for protecting the event area with appropriate light intensity will be the best choice.

- Assistive light : This lighting system is responsible for supporting activities. Prepare for the activities that will take place during the event.

2. Types of event lights

- S canner lights

The scanner lamp (scanning light) emits strong light with a variety of effects such as: color creation; gobo (blocking light, flowers, etc.); iris (closer or larger with opacity); prism (multiplying multiple shapes by a prism); zoom (close or enlarge with the lens); pan (horizontal); tilt (vertical rotation). However, this type of light is quite bulky, so it is usually only used for large events, fixed by hanging high.

- Moving Head Lights

Moving head for flexible horizontal and vertical scanning angles and many special vivid effects.

The difference between moving head and scanner is the object used. If the scanner is used mainly in fixed stages by hanging up, the moving head is placed on the floor and reflects the light back onto the stage.

- Strobe Light

Strobe light is a light similar to Flash but much more powerful. The light has the ability to blink continuously, and the speed can be adjusted as fast or slow as you like. Therefore, it is often used in climactic, vibrant scenes, combined with smoke and laser effects to bring an explosion to the audience.

- Follow light

The follow light is a light that uses a round white light to shine directly on the main character who is speaking on stage to attract the audience's attention. However, the significant minus point is the need to have someone directly control the chicken wings. This is a big disadvantage for small programs, with little staff or limited organizational space.

- UV lights

This type of light is used to run the background on the stage. Continuous projection combined with light of different colors creates brighter and more realistic colors. Especially when combined with white. There are 2 types of UV lamps, blue and black, blue UV lamps give brighter and fresher colors than black.

- PAR lamp 64

The PAR 64 lamp provides a soft, non-reflective light. Dimmers can be used to create quick bursts of light with many dynamic effects. Therefore, it is not difficult for it to become the basic type of light used in most large and small stages today.

3. Lighting direction

The direction of the light is the position where you plan to place the light source to create the desired effect.

In normal events, you will encounter the following basic lighting directions:

- Face direction: The position where the light source is placed in front of the stage towards the character on the stage. This direction of lighting will help the audience see the character on the stage clearly.

- Peak direction: Is the position where the light source is located above the top of the character's head

- Reverse direction: The direction of lighting with the light source placed behind the character's back and opposite to the face direction.

- Side direction: in the stage, there are 2 chicken wings on both sides, so it is often called chicken direction to indicate that the light source is designed there to illuminate the actor's sides or cheeks.

4. Lighting angle

The lighting angle helps the light to reach the target and illuminate the right spot. In light theory there is a common number that is a 45 degree angle. This is considered a reasonable lighting angle for the object on the stage. In addition, placing the light source at different angles from the character also creates a different lighting effect that represents the content you want to convey.

5. Run the program before the event takes place

To ensure that the lighting system is not faulty and works according to the scenario, it is necessary to test the program before the event takes place. The process of running the program will help you better visualize what you want to show in the program so that you can promptly adjust if errors occur.
