What we think about before we design a DISCO stage

Lighting design requirements for song and dance halls

The lighting design of dance halls is a complex problem. The following problems must be paid attention to before design:

1. Understand the operation steering wheel (use) and investment situation of the ballroom.

2, pay attention to the size of the ballroom, especially the size of the stage, dance floor, space height, as well as the overall art design, decoration design requirements, these are the key factors affecting the design.

3. Understand distribution and power supply.

Song and dance halls have various forms without fixed patterns. According to their entertainment nature, they can be roughly divided into three categories: karaoke hall, dance hall and song and dance hall.

1. The design of karaoke hall considers pure karaoke, which is completely a form of entertainment for the masses, with low requirements for lighting and sound.

The design of lamplight basically considers atmosphere of integral environment to build, give a person the feeling with relaxed freely, sweet romance, on the match of lamps and lanterns, appropriate chooses a few directional lamps and lanterns more, combination becomes certain modelling.

Mechanized lamps to choose slow action varieties, power to small, color to choose some thick.

Ultraviolet lamp glass ball, light rain lamp can be said to be its representative.

The small light such as light of small bulb, small lamp belt, trot is acted the role of a few elaborate adornment to the stage, form the small corps stage that has appeal, distinctive, the effect is done easily.

With the development of karaoke, karaoke parlors with video cameras appeared.

Considering the characteristics of the camera, the lighting design should make appropriate arrangements for the light of the singing area.

Generally, a small spotlight or small modeling lamp is used to design a character modeling light with a certain illumination for the singer, so as to ensure that the program recorded by video is clear with characters and clear images.

Ballroom Ballroom can be divided into disco (dance) hall and ballroom (slow dance) hall.

The lamplight of dance floor is the attractive charm that can make the person feels light, color much more colorful, especially the lamplight that is changing with music song, melody, rhythm makes a person confused li, more make a person intoxicated.

In the design of lighting, the layout of directional lamps should be strewn at random, the direction of projection is omnidirectional, combined with the control system can produce a distinct and strong sense of rhythm.

Mechanized lamps and lanterns can be considered, but the configuration should pay attention to the combination of dynamic speed and slow, to have fast and slow, color to be brilliant.

In particular, mechanical lamps with voice-controlled power system are preferred for strong strobe lamps with adjustable frequency, which can better express the thrilling sense of rhythm.

We should pay attention to one point, when choosing the variety of lamps and lanterns, we must ensure the number of more lights, as long as the economic permit, the lights of the ballroom will not be too much.

In the choice of control equipment, to choose self-programmed console, the number of thyristor loop must be more, but the power does not require great.

The goal is to ensure that the lighting division can control all the lights, so as to show the glamour of the lights to the fullest.

3, the form of large-scale dance hall, with the nature of professional performance, both karaoke, dance hall function characteristics.

Its mode of operation, more emphasis on high-level, professional level of artistic performance and singing.

The design of song and dance halls generally requires a large space, especially the height can not be too low. The performance stage is relatively independent and complete, and some even install complex activity stage and rotating stage.

Song and dance hall performances cover a wide range of drama, skits, dance, solo, singing is everything.

Different types of programs, even music and songs with different emotional appeal require different lighting effects and atmospheres to set off, which gives consideration to lighting control and lighting design.

(1) Basic light - in order to enable the audience to see the stage clearly, see the performance clearly.

The first step is to give the stage a basic lighting.

This basic lighting includes uniform white and color lighting.

Basic white light lighting is necessary, but the illumination requirement is not high, especially in some spectator occasions, or the climax of some performances, or some special performances (such as magic), basic white light is very important.

The basic color light is the atmosphere light of the whole stage.

Decided the fundamental key of whole lamplight effect, or it is enthusiastic bold and unrestrained, or it is romantic warmth, or it is word root table melancholy.

On the choice of lamps and lanterns and light in front of the stage to the stage, should choose the spotlight, colored light is obtained by adding color filters, colour shoulds not be too deep, on the roof of the stage, and the back of the stage (backlight) general use spotlight, also available to shoot the light beam, the direction of the light cast on reward from behind, brightness can be brighter, color also can choose some relatively thick.

(2) Character light -- for group performance, large area lighting is solved by basic white light.

The illumination of local illume, compere is solved with chase lamp, had better match 2 to the chase lamp of 3 sets so, deal with different occasion to use.

For motorcade or other fixed performers, a beam light can be used to cast light at a fixed point.

(3) Background light -- The background of the song and dance hall will change with the different performers, each change is due to the aesthetic feeling or the needs of the program.

Background light is to highlight these background objects appropriately, so that they are integrated into the performance to set off the theme, commonly used background lights are sky curtain lights, floor curtain lights, beam lights, etc..

(4) Basic effect lamp -- composed of directional beam lamps and lanterns, with three-dimensional aesthetic modeling, color changes, modeling can be combined and changed by the stage lighting division at will.

(5) special effects lamp - computer lamp because of its superior performance and ever-changing effects, it is the best special effects lamps and lanterns.

But the price of computer lamp is more expensive, reason must give consideration below the premise that assures basic light and basic effect.

At the same time, with the use of computer lights, the number of basic effect lights can be relatively reduced.

The mechanical lamps and lanterns, because of their function is relatively single, fixed, will feel that they are not easy to control, so it can be less with some.

(6) Lighting console -- all of the above lights need to control their brightness.

Generally controlled by silicon controlled equipment.

In the choice of lighting console, it is appropriate to choose the effect of strong function, controllable loop number, convenient operation of the console type products.

If you can afford it, use a computer console.
