How to configure LED lamps in all directions in theater auditorium lighting design

Traditional lamps or civilian lamps in the lighting design of theater auditoriums cannot meet the lighting needs. The configuration of lamps should fully consider factors such as high color rendering, accurate color temperature, safety and durability, good heat dissipation, flexibility and convenience, etc. LED lamps are the mainstream trend. The lighting configuration and layout should meet the requirements of meeting-oriented and various evening performances. How can the luminaires be arranged flexibly so that they can be arranged reasonably and meet the needs of functions such as meetings and performances? As long as each lamp on the stage of the theater auditorium is arranged in an all-round way and connected in series through signals, the integrity of the lighting system can be realized.

1. Theater auditorium surface light configuration instructions

As the main front light of the performance area, the theater auditorium surface light is mainly used to illuminate the front performance area of the stage, and play the role of frontal lighting for the performers on the stage, for the character modeling or to make the objects on the stage present a three-dimensional effect. The surface light can be a 200WLED video spotlight with an illuminance of 10-12 meters, which can illuminate the face of the character very brightly and very shiny; the 200WLED imaging light can reach a distance of 15 meters. The light is distributed according to the projection distance to ensure that the projection effect of the surface light lamp is achieved, and the light spot is uniform and the illumination is consistent.

Arrangement and projection method of surface light in theater auditorium:

Vertical projection: make uniform effect under the stage performance area;

Cross projection: Enhance the brightness of the center area and depth of the stage;

Key projection: Strengthen the lighting of the local stage performance area.

2. Theater auditorium slap light configuration instructions

The lights projected from the slap rooms on both sides of the auditorium to the stage are used as modeling lights in the oblique direction of the front of the stage to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the characters and scenery and form the lighting effect of the front side. The projection angle of the slap light is lower than the projection angle of the surface light, and the projection distance is shorter than that of the surface light. The requirements of the lamp are similar to that of the surface light. The projected beam cannot overflow beyond the proscenium. The slap light can use LED video spotlight, LED video back light.

Arrangement and projection method of lamps and lanterns:

Slap is an auxiliary light for face light, which is used for character modeling;

The color atmosphere of the stage can be rendered from one side or both sides. The outer light and the inner light are cross-projected, and a larger projection range can be obtained;

When two or more rows of slaps with the same light color are projected at the same time, the high-position lamp usually projects the high-beam area, and the low-position lamp usually projects the low-beam area.

3. Theater auditorium side light configuration instructions

The role of the side light is to create a sense of direction of the light source from the side of the stage, and to create a level and three-dimensional sense for the actors in the main performance area. It can be used as an auxiliary lighting to illuminate the face of an actor, and can strengthen the level of the scene, and render the characters and the stage space environment. The angle, direction, distance, lamp type, power and other factors of the cast light will cause various side light effects. The side light can use LED par light.

Arrangement and projection method of lamps and lanterns:

The shooting distance of the side light is from near to far, and the projection angle is from near to far. There are many changes. The modeling light from one or both sides can emphasize and highlight the contour of the side. It is suitable for embossing, characters and other volumetric objects. effect. Unilateral light can show a stronger effect of yin and yang. The double-side light can express the plywood light with individual characteristics, but the light ratio of the front auxiliary light and the side light needs to be adjusted to obtain a more complete modeling effect.

4. Description of the column light configuration of the theater auditorium

The position of the cylindrical lights on both sides of the stage curtain line is the pillar light, and the light is shot from both sides of the stage to the performance area; mainly to make up for the lack of face light and slap light, and can also be used as the main light of the middle and back stage performance area. need. The column light can use LED par light.

Lamp arrangement and projection method: 

        The arrangement and projection method of lamps are basically the same as slapped.

5. Description of the ceiling and backlight configuration of the theater auditorium

The ceiling light is installed on the stage, and a ceiling light is installed every 1.2M-2.0M. The power supply hangs down from the stage ceiling through multi-core cables. There are wire baskets on both sides of the lamp boom, and the lamps are hung under the lamp boom. Its function is to illuminate the performance space in the depth of the stage. The top light includes forward light and back light, which can be overlapped on the same light pole, and the lamps can be configured according to the needs of the performance.

Top light and backlight can use LED par light, LED video soft light, LED dyeing light.

Arrangement and projection method of lamps:

The first top light and the surface light are connected to illuminate the main performance area. Pay attention to the height of the characters when connecting. The first top light can be used as a fixed point light, and some lamps can be selected to enhance the lighting of the fulcrum of the performance area; second to seventh The Tao can be projected directly behind the stage according to the needs of the plot, can also be projected vertically downwards, or projected forward as a backlight; thereby enhancing the lighting of the stage characters and the scenery space.

The front and rear rows of lights are connected to make the stage performance area obtain a more uniform color and brightness.

6. Theater auditorium sky row light configuration instructions

Contrary to the ground row lights, the sky row lights are scattered light fixtures from top to bottom to project light and render colors to the upper part of the stage canopy. It is usually used in conjunction with the ground row lights to make the color changes more abundant. The lamp can adopt LED sky curtain light.

Lamp arrangement and projection method:

Rows of lamps are evenly placed in front of the stage canopy, used to shoot down the canopy, representing the horizon, horizontal lines, sunset, etc., usually used in conjunction with the ground row of lights to make the light color change more abundant.

7. Description of the ground row lighting configuration of the theater auditorium

Contrary to the sky row lights, the ground row lights are scattered light fixtures from bottom to top, projecting light and rendering colors to the lower half of the stage canopy. It is usually used in conjunction with the sky row lights to make the color changes more abundant. LED sky curtain light can be used. Installed on the canopy front panel, 2m-3.5m from the canopy.
