Essentials Attributes of Lights

• With the help of the lights you can set the mood of the audience. It's totally up to you how you set the mood. Here your creativity counts.

• Lights can help you pull out the audience and take them to an imaginary world.

How to use fixtures for a stage performance

When you are hanging fixtures be sure of safety. Always have professionals who can take care of the fixtures when they are flying in the air and with the right equipment. Usually, fixtures have a steel pipe attached to them or a truss along with clamps.   Some fixtures use one clamp while the others might use two. Consult the manufacturer while hanging the fixture as it also requires a cable that has to be wrapped around the handle. Another point that has to be considered is the placement of fixtures. The placement of fixtures is dependent on different variables such as:

• Desired Look

• The height of the ceiling  

• Throw distance

• Weight

Example

Lighting with a single point is a simpler version of the placement. It gives a natural look along with a dramatic effect. It can be used for drawing attention and can also give the character a two-dimensional flat look. While setting single point lighting make sure the light is on axis with the focus and it has to be 30 digress above the focus point.
