Currently, there are many agencies, institutions, associations, businesses and so on have their own halls, auditorium, multi-purpose hall and other variety places need to configure the number of corresponding professional lighting facilities, the lack of understanding of the stage lights on how the correct choice of professional lighting equipment, the not very proficient; while a lot of professional lighting equipment vendors who have professional stage lighting equipment is also a smattering of knowledge, could not be given to the correct guidance, resulting in a waste of money.

 

 In order to avoid this situation, this paper, the basic knowledge of stage lighting to make some brief introduction.

 

 First, stage lighting, used light-bit

 To make the configuration of the professional stage lights, stage lighting Road should first understand the common light bits. This is the correct choice of configuration is an important part.

 

 1, surface light: from the audience toward the stage at the top of the front light, the main role is to figure a positive light for lighting and the entire sets of basic dye shop.

 2, slap in the face: It is located on both sides of Taiwan extraoral, oblique light cast on the stage is divided into several layers from top to bottom, the main supporting surface light, to enhance facial illumination, more characters, a sense of three-dimensional scene.

 3, column light (also known as Side light): Since the units on both sides of the mouth projection of light, mainly for the both sides of the surface figure or landscape lighting, increase the three-dimensional feeling, a sense of outline.

 4, top light: from the stage toward the top of the stage light, by the former to the rear is divided into a row of roof light, two top-ranked light, the top three rows of light ... ... and so on, is mainly used for general stage lighting, to enhance the stage illumination, and there a lot of scenery, props fixed-point radiation, depends mainly on the top light to resolve.

 5, Backlight: from the stage reverse the direction of projection of light (such as the top light, bridge light, etc. reverse irradiation) can be sketched out the characters, King said that the outline, enhance a sense of three-dimensional and transparent, but also can be used as a specific source.

 6, the bridge light: on the stage on both sides of the flyover at the light toward the stage, mainly for supporting pillar light, enhanced three-dimensional feeling, but also for other optical projection of the direction bit inconvenient, but also can be used as a specific source.

 7, feet light: from Taiwan and Taiwan before the board to exit the stage projection of light, the main supporting surface light illumination and eliminate the surface light and other high exposure to the characters face and jaw formed by shadows.

 8, space row light: from the Atrium Atrium toward the top and bottom of the light, mainly for canopy lighting and color changes.

 9, mobile light: in the flow of light shelves on both sides of the stage, the main auxiliary bridge light, added on both sides of the stage light, or other specific light.

 10, chasing light: from the auditorium or other location need to use light-bit, mainly used to track performers or highlight a particular light, but also for the host, is the theatrical arts, close-up of the pen, play a dragon eye-dotting the surface effect.

 

 Second, common lighting and characteristics of

 

 1, the spotlight: It is the most widely used stage lighting on the main lamp types, one of the market there are 1KW, 2KW, in order to 2KW the most widely used. It is focused on light exposure, spot a clearer outline of the edge, can highlight a partial, spot lighting can also be amplified a region, as a stage for the main light source, commonly used in the surface light, ears, side and other light bits.

 2 Soft Light: light, soft and well-proportioned, both prominent a part, and no blunt spot, easy to link up a few lights, common are 0.3KW, 1KW, 2KW, etc.. Column used for light, mobile and other close-ray light-bit.

 3, back to Light: It is a reflection of the lamps, which is characterized by light quality hardware, illumination high and long-distance, is an economical, but also cost-effective glare lights, a common main 0.5KW, 1KW, 2KW, so as to use up to 2KW.

 4, astigmatism Light: diffuse light, are said projection area, is divided into days to Pai Pai astigmatism and astigmatism, commonly are 0.5KW, 1KW, 1.25KW, 2KW, and many more exposure for the marquee, but also can be used for theater Chairman Taiwan general lighting.

 5, modeling lamp: Principles between recovery between the light and the spotlight is a special lamp, mainly for the characters and scenery modeling projection.

 6, feet light (also known as light article): light, soft, with an area widely. Mainly as the medium shot, Netscape lighting, cloth color, location can also be assisted in Taiwan port side lighting.

 7, light beam lamps (also known as Downlight): currently used more widely, such as PAR46, PAR64 models. Can be used for the characters and scenery all places lighting, can also be directly mounted on the stage, exposed to the audience to form a lamp array, for the stage decoration and lighting, a dual role.

 8, King slide and canopy effects cast light: in the stage to form an overall picture on the marquee, and various special effects, such as: wind, rain, thunder, electricity, water, fire, smoke, clouds and so on.

 9, the computer lights: This is a by DMX512 signal control or RS232 or PMX smart lamps, their light color, spot, illumination lamps are better than more conventional in recent years developed an intelligent lighting is often installed in the surface light, Top light, the stage level positions, such as its operation in the color, shape, figure and so can be compiled to run programs. As the power of different sizes, on the stage you would like to be differentiated. Generally low-power computer lights, used only suitable for dance. Low-power computer on the stage lighting cable, spot often spotlight, back light and so dissipate the talk, so choose, we should pay special attention to.

 10, Follow Spot Light: Yes, stage lighting lamps, characterized by high brightness, the use of lens imaging, can present a clear spot, by adjusting the focal length, but also to change the spot actual situation. There are activities for light bar, you can easily change color, light body can be free-run and so on. More varieties currently on the market, mark targets are not the same way in order to power a standard, such as: 1KW halogen tungsten light source, 1KW Dy light source, 1KW metal halide light source, 2KW metal halide light source, they are also in order to recover from a standard light lights (at a certain distance under the light intensity, illumination), such as 8-10m chasing light ,15-30m chasing light ,30-50m chasing light ,50-80m chasing light and so on, and in function is divided into: Mechanical chasing light, its focusing, light bar, change color are manually completed; another way for the computer chasing light, its focusing, light bar, change color, adjust the color temperature are automatically completed through the push-pull electric, so be sure to use a variety of carefully selected indicators.

 

 Third, stage lighting Color changer

 

 Color Design promotion, greatly simplifying the number of the stage lighting, reducing the labor intensity of the light workers, but also saves the amount of investment, so it is a stage configuration is currently an indispensable instrument, currently on the market are mainly mechanical Color changer, and two kinds of electricity and Color changer.

 

 1, stage machinery Color changer: its design is simple, lower price for the 20th century, 80 to 90 mid-mainstream products, currently close to elimination.

 2, the stage computer Color changer: Yes, in recent years developed a new Color changer, which uses international standard DMX-512 signal output, controlled by special control Lu may also be connected to a computer lighting console to use, it is more mode, high-precision, high-capacity, control, distance and other characteristics as color devices currently on the market for mainstream products.

 

 Fourth, lighting control equipment

 

 Dimmers currently on the market, mainly analog dimming and digital dimmers, which is characterized by:

 

 1, analog dimmers: Using the analog dimming technology, the output signal is 0-10V output of one to one. Generally designed to be simple analog dimmers, controllers road less dimming curve is poor, but the market a lower price, easy to learn to master for the 20th century, the late 70s mainstream products in the mid 90s. Common are 3-way, 6 way, 9 Road, 12 Road, 18 Road, 24 Road, 60 Road, 120 Road, etc., each way power mostly 8KW, but there are also 2KW, 4KW and so on, the number of multi-path as one machine, road number of split type.

 2, Digital Dimmer: Using the voice-chip computer technology, the DM512 digital signal. Digital dimming sets easy to use (especially the big loop), the dimming function, backup functions, grouping functions, dimming curve is better than analog dimming Taiwan Deng Jun, performance, reasonable prices, a welcome addition. 12 Common Road, 36 Road, 72 Road, 120 Road, 240 Road, 1000 Road and so on, each way, mostly 2KW, 4KW, 6KW, 8KW so. In the understanding of lights, lamps and control equipment, and changing characteristics of color devices, you can according to their characteristics, the use of the size, with lights simplified, according to local conditions to design the correct use of package.
