Spot Lights

A spot light is effective for stage productions if you want the focus to be on one person or point. By fixing a spot light onto a light stand or bar, you can aim it at one place that you know will need to be focused on at some point in your event or performance. This adds dramaticism to certain moments which makes them perfect for theatre use.

Furthermore, the RGB colour mixing that most of our spot lights feature works hand in hand with this. For simple focus on one point, you can set the light to a standard white colour. If you want added dramaticism to a certain moment of your event, you can use the colour mixing to set the light to red, for example.

Another great way to utilise a spot light is by aiming it at a mirror ball for disco use. When setting the light at the required distance from a rotating mirror ball, it will cover the surface of the ball and produce the classic disco effect that we all know and love.

Another feature that some of our spot lights have is sound-to-light activation. This works from the built-in microphone, which picks up sounds in the room. Each time the microphone picks up sound, it can change colour or strobe, for example. You can adjust the sensitivity of this on each light, so if you only want it to react to the loudest sounds then you can adjust the sensitivity to be higher.

What Is A Spot Light Used For?

Spot lights are used to put a main focus on one point, whether it be in a stage performance or when used in a DJ lighting setup. They have a narrow lens and bright LEDs that produce a tight and focused beam of light, ideal for stage productions in theatres.

We offer LED spotlights in multiple sizes and power options. The smaller units with less power are great when used with mirror balls, as they light up the whole surface of the ball when located at a suitable distance, providing a full-on disco effect in one compact unit.

A spot light effect is also ideal when conveying a theme in a performance or event. Most of our spot light effects units feature RGB LEDs, giving you the ability to achieve multiple colours with them. The colour options are great for theatre performances, as you can portray the theme of certain scenes much easier when using the suitable colour.

Many of our spot lights feature adjustable focus and zoom, giving you the ability to adapt them to any performance or venue. By adjusting the focus and zoom level, you can precisely choose which area of a stage or surface that you want the focus on, making them an ideal choice alongside any lighting setup in any sized venue.

Also featuring strobe, many of our LED spotlights are great for DJ use. The strobe effect paired with changing zoom and focus levels provides a unique light show which is best paired with a smoke or haze machine in order to see the beam that the light is producing through the air.

DMX Spot Light Effects

DMX compatibility is a common feature on our LED spotlights. By using DMX software or hardware with a spotlight, you have full control over the colour and effects that it is producing. You can also program your own shows that perform automatically, great if you are a DJ or light engineer for a band, as the light will always perform how you need it to once a suitable show is programmed.

Most DMX spot lights will also be able to be run in master/slave mode. This means that two or more lights are connected together from the DMX inputs/outputs to perform the same effects at the same time. By setting one light to 'master' and the rest of the connected lights to 'slave', the slave lights will produce the same effects as the master unit for a synchronised display of light, ideal for DJ and club use.

As well as these points, DMX control provides the ability to control the unit in real-time. For example, if you are using a DMX controller with a spotlight, you can manually adjust the sliders or controls in order to customise elements such as zoom, colour, dim and strobe speed. This is great for smaller applications, but it can also be used effectively for larger shows and situations.

Compared to beam lights, spot lights offer a slightly wider light display while not being a full-on wash. Ideal for a large number of applications, LED spotlights are highly versatile and a great choice for anyone looking to expand their effects setup.
