  LIGHTS By Leah Butterworth

  PC  G –clamp  Barn doors  Gel frames  Safety chain  Adjustable arm  Adjustable knob  15 AMPS Accessories: Explanation: This light is used for general cover because it is part of the Fresnel family. But because the pebble convex also has a pebble lens means that I can also use it to replace a spotlight if I really needed to. You can also use the gel frames to make different colour light and the barn doors to isolate the light to where ever you need to. This light uses a halogen bulb 650W. Scenarios: if the source fours and minutte profiles are broken I was choosing a light to isolate an actor on stage I would use a pc to replace them because they have a pebble convex lens so they can replace a spot because they have the same lens and are very similar because other rights have ridged lens so its more diffused. I would not choose a parcan because it diffuse light to much and would not isolate the actor and I would choose a pc over a birdie because a birdie is to small and not powerful enough.

  CCT Accessories:  G –clamp  Barn doors  Gel frames  Safety chain  Adjustable arm  Adjustable knob  15 AMPS  Ridge Circular lens Explanation: A CCT is also part of the Fresnel family. This means that it diffuse light and is mainly used for general cover. You can also use the gels to create different coloured lights and the barndoors to isolate the light to a specific area. This light uses a halogen bulb 650W. Scenarios: If I was choosing a light for a side light in a dance performance I would choose a CCT because it diffuse light well and I can also manipulate the light with the barndoors. I would choose a CCT over a minutte profile because it is too defined and I would not choose a pin spot because they are used for glitter balls and it is not powerful enough.

  Selecon Accessories  G –clamp  Barn doors  Gel frames  Safety chain  Adjustable arm  Adjustable knob  15 AMPS Explanation: This is purposely used for general cover to light a whole area but you can use the gels to create many different colours and you could also use the barn doors to isolate the light to specific areas that you would want the light to highlight. This light uses a halogen bulb 650W. Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to create a general wash at a Christmas show I would choose a selecon because it is good at creating a general wash because it diffuse the light well. I would choose a selecon over a parcan because it only adds dept to general cover it isn't strong enough to cover the whole stage. I also would not choose a source four because it is too defined and wont diffuse the light well.

  Scene 1K Accessories:  G– clamp  Gels  Barndoors  Gel frames  Safety chain  Adjustable arm  Adjustable knob  15 AMPS  Ridge circular lens Explanation: The scene (1K) diffuse light and can be used for general cover. You can use the gels to create many different colours and you could also use the barn doors to isolate the light to specific areas that you would want the light to highlight. This light is also used for a back light, this is when you create a definition of the actor on stage because it is lit from behind to make them stand out. The 1K does not go further than other lights but it is much brighter. This light uses a 1K halogen bulb. Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to use for creating a backlight in a musical I would choose a 1K because it diffuse light well and create a good general wash and because it is very bright to create a good definition of the actors. I would choose a 1k over a birdie because a birdie is not bright enough and I would not choose a minutte profile either because it is too defined.

  Floodlight Accessories  G –clamp  Gels  Gel frames  Safety chain  15 AMPS Explanation: You can use the gels to create many different colours. This light floods the room with light and you would use it to light up the audience because it has no direction. You could also use it for crowd surfing at a gigs and lighting up the cyclorama in a contemporary dance performance. This light cannot control the size of the light and is controlled by the lighting desk. This light uses a 500W halogen linear bulb. Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to light a cyclorama I would choose a flood light because it is good at creating a general wash so the cyclorama would be lit evenly. I would choose a floodlight over a birdie because a birdie is to small and not powerful enough and I would not choose a minutte profile because it would be too defined and not create a general cover.

  Birdie Accessories  G –clamp  Gels  Gel frames  Safety chain  13/15 AMPS  Halogen bulbs Explanation: You can use the gels to create many different colours. This light is like a baby parcan so it does not have barndoors. You can use this to light up pop up expeditions in art galleries. They use a small Halogen bulb so they are not as bright as the other lights. They would also be used in a truss to look pretty and for aesthetics. They can also be used to light the audience if need be. This light uses a 50W halogen bulb spot (GU10 bulb). Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to use to light the audience I would choose a birdie because it is discrete so it would not be very noticeable and its very aesthetic and look very pretty. I would not choose a selecon because it would create too much of a general cover and I would choose a birdie over a parcan because it is too big and would also create too much of a general wash.

  Parcan Accessories  G –clamp  Gel frames  Safety chain  Adjustable gels  15 AMPS  Encased light bulb Explanation: You can use the gels to create many different colours. This is a parcan so it does not have barndoors. You can use this light at music gigs for the aesthetics because they look pretty and to create a chase. You could also use it for general cover because you can only control the general direction of the light because you cant be specific. But you could also use a parcan to add further dept or colour to an already general wash. This light uses either a Cp60, Cp61 or a Cp62 bulb. Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to use at a music gig to create a chase effect I would use a parcan because it is easy to create a chase with this light and it is aesthetic and use many different types of gels to make it look much more interesting. I would choose a PC over a Minuette profile because it would not create a general wash and it is a specials. I also would not choose a birdie because it only has a 50w halogen bulb so it would not be bright enough.

  L.E.D Accessories  G –clamp  Gels  Gel frames  Safety chain  Adjustable arm  13/15 AMPS  DMX cable Explanation: You can use the gels to create many different colours. This light has many different small LED bulbs inside it and this means it does not get hot. It has no direction and just creates a general wash. An L.E.D has the same job as a parcan but you can change the colour from the lighting desk instead with a DMX cable from the light to the desk and this is made with male and female parts. Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to use provide multiple colour enabling the scenes mood to change I would use a L.E.D because it uses a DMX cable so I can change the colour of the light from the lighting desk so it would be less effort and no fuss on stage and it is also energy saving and produces primary colours. I would choose a L.E.D over a floodlight because they use gel frames so it would be much harder to change the colours with ease. I would also not choose a source four because it is a special so it would not create a general wash it would be more specific on a

  Source Four Accessories  G– clamp  Gels  Gel frames  Safety chain  15 AMPS  Shutters  Iris  gobo Explanation: You can use the gels to create many different colours. It also has shutters which can help change the shape of the light coming out to go from a circle to maybe a more square shape or be create and make many different shapes. It also contains an iris which can make a pin head shaft of light to light very specific and tiny objects. In a source four you can also have a gobo which create many different shapes and patterns. It is used to focus a shower of light to a specific point. This is a much more new version of a spotlight. The knobs on a source four direct the size of the light and the other knob is to sharpen or blend the outta edge of the spotlight. It has a pebble lens and create a much whiter light. The differences between this and a minutte profile is that it has an energy saving light bulb whereas the minutte profile does not and this makes the source four have a much brighter and whiter light. This light uses a HPL bulb 575W.Scenarios:Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to use to isolate an actor on stage I would choose a source four because it is a special and a defined spotlight that will isolate them and it has an energy saving bulb so it will create a bright white light which will highlight the actor even more. I would choose a source four over a selecon because that would create general cover and have no definition of light and I would also not choose a flood because you can only control the direction and it would not highlight the actor.

  Minuette Profile  G– clamp  Gels  Gel frames  Safety chain  15 AMPS  Shutters  Iris  gobo Accessories Explanation: You can use the gels to create many different colours. It also has shutters which can help change the shape of the light coming out to go from a circle to maybe a more square shape or be create and make many different shapes. It also contains an iris which can make a pin head shaft of light to light very specific and tiny objects. In a minutte profile you can also have a gobo which create many different shapes and patterns. It is used to focus a shower of light to a specific point. This is a older version of a spotlight. The knobs on a minutte profile direct the size of the light and the other knob is to sharpen or blend the outta edge of the spotlight. It has a pebble lens and but creates much browner light. The differences between this and a source four is that the source four has a an energy saving light bulb whereas the minutte profile does not and this makes the source four have a much brighter and whiter light. This light uses a halogen bulb 650W. Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to create a window effect for a set design I would choose a minuette profile because it is defined and specific so I could defiantly only light up the specific area and I could use the barndoos to help create the correct shape for the window but mainly because the minuette profile is a special I can use a gobo to create the patterns and images of the window to be more realistic and believable. I would not choose a parcan because that gives off general cover so it would not be specific and I would also not choose a CCT because it is a Fresnel so its is not

  Pin Spot  G– clamp  Safety chain  13/15 AMPS Accessories Explanation: This light is used in discos or whenever you use a glitter ball. You cannot change the colour but you can change the bulb for different colours but it is not as energy efficient. It can be directed and has a small beam angle. This light uses a 30W par36 bulb. Scenarios: If I was choosing a light to use in the Priestley got talent to use a glitter ball I would use a pin spot because it has a small beam angle and can be directed I would not choose a flood or a L.E.D parcan over a pin spot because they both create a general wash.
