2. Par can Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm Light bulb encased 15 amp G-clamp The Par can is used for aesthetic appearance to make the staging look pretty at music gigs. You can make chases with these lights to gain some depth and general cover. You cant control the colour of the Par can but you can switch the gels. The beam angles for the Parcan is: CP60- 12 CP61- 14 CP62- 24 To create chases for a music gig I would use the Parcan instead of the birdie because the Parcan gives more general cover to add more depth. whereas a birdie is produced by Halogen lights and its not as powerful as a Parcan. 3. Led parcan Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm G-clamp The LED Par can would be used for music gigs and even concerts, aesthetics are used to make the staging look pretty. This is the same as a Par Can which gives the same amount of general coverage but this can change to any colour controlled by the desk. This particular light is an energy saver which means it is brighter than a normal LED. This is fixed with a DMX cable which talks to the desks to create a chase. .To provide a multiple colour to change the scene mood I would prefer to use the LED Parcan than a Flood because it can produce primary colours and is an energy saving light which can give of a brighter light which can be used for general coverage, the flood wouldnt be good to use because you arent able to control the light as its just floods everywhere but you are able to put gels in but that wastes time having to change it over and over again. 4. Pc- pebble convex Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm Adjustable knob Barn doors G-clamp 15 amp plug The PC is used for general cover or in fact a spot light. The light is defused and has a pebble lense to make the edges more softer than being sharp. You are able to manipulate the light by moving the Barn Doors. The Pebble Convex lense is different to any other lense from the Fresnel family. The beam angles are 10 - 59. If the Profiles were broken but I needed to isolate the actor I would use the Pebble Convex than a Selecon and a Parcan because its part of the Fresnel family and the lens on the PC has a soft edge and can focus on one person whereas the Selecon is a more defused light and the Parcan just adds a lot of depth but if your desperate you could use it. 5. selecon Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm Ridged circular lense 2 adjustable knobs Barn doors G-clamp The Selcon is bigger than a CCT and a PC, this light can be used for a general wash, used more because of the wider beam angle. This light can be manipulated and is almost used for everything. The beam angle is 6 - 50. If I was to do general washes for a Christmas show I would use the Selecon instead of the Parcan because it gives of a more defined light than the Parcan and the light can manipulated by using the barns doors because of the bigger spread of light. Less lights are also needed for a general wash. 6. cct Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm G-clamp Barn doors Adjustable knob Ridged circular lense The CCT is used for general cover most of the time and gives of a defused light with a 45 degree beam angle . You are able to manipulate light using the Barn Doors and is 500 Watts. The beam angle is 10 - 59. I would prefer to use this than the Par Can because you are able to manipulate the light and the Par Can takes over half of the stage and this can focus on one person . 7. 1k Scena Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm G-clamp Barn doors The 1K is a more defused light and can be used for general cover and predominantly used for back lights. You are able to change to lighter colours when using Jell frames. This is the brightest light but it doesnt go as further than any other. If you put these in a triangular shape and zoning on one person there wouldnt be a single shadow on stage as there directing in different places. The beam angle is 10 - 64. X To create back light for a musical I would use the 1K over birdie because the 1K has a more higher wattage which means its more brighter and can take up more general coverage whereas the birdie isnt powerful enough to cover a large space and there used more for aesthetics. 8. birdie Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm G-clamp Barn doors Halogen lights 13 amp 15 amp Birdies are a very small light that is actually surprisingly bright, this can be used in museums, exhibitions that are used for aesthetics to look pretty. You are able to attach these to a Tross and controlled by lighting desk and you are able to manipulate the light using Barn Doors. I would much prefer to use the Birdie than the Flood Light because in stead of lighting up the whole audience, you can able to make it look more pretty using Birdies to do a chase repeatedly on the audience just like at We Will Rock You. 9. Pin spot Accessories: Safety chain Adjustable arm G-clamp 13 amp 15 amp The Pin Spot can be used for at Discos for on a glitter ball and also for Strictly Come Dancing for on the glitter ball as you would use 2 to 4 Pin Spots to get some coverage. These can be used for exhibitions but you cant direct the light so should mainly be used for a big artefacts. If I was to light up a glitter ball I would use the Pin Spot than the flood or LED Parcan because the Pin Spot is small and you can direct the light and aesthetics used. Whereas the Flood would light up everything in the surrounding area and LED Parcan only uses colours and we only need white. 10. Flood light Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm G-clamp 15 amp The Flood Light is mainly for lighting up the audience, and are used for football matches or any out door sport. This has a radiant of light going from 0 100%. Used for general washes to add that bit of depth with other Fresnels. You are not able to control the light with Barn Doors and the beam angle is... Also you can daisy chain these up to have them in a row of four or as many as you want. And overall all they just flood everywhere. If I was to light up a cydorama I would only use the Flood light in stead of a Profile or a Birdie because the flood light has a wider spread of light and is more powerful to create more general coverage whereas Profiles have more of a defused light and the birdie isnt powerful enough and hasnt got a wider spread of light. 11. Source four Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm Shutters 15 amp G-clamp The source four is used either for a Theatre shows or on TV Shows such as X-factor for when you want to concentrate on one performer. Always used for on rigs and not for on the floor, the bulb is energy saving which means the light is more brighter and with the shutters already attached you can manipulate the light by moving the shutters to create shapes. The beam angle is 25 - 50. If I wanted to isolate an actor on stage I would use the Source Four over a Selecon because the Source Four can focus on one person and has a defined edge and area whereas the Selecon is mainly used for general washes and you dont get a defined edge. 12. Minuette profile Accessories: Gel frame Safety chain Adjustable arm Shutters 15 amp G-clamp Gobo To create a window effect for a set design I would use the Minuet Profile instead of the Parcan because you are able to place Gobos in to create different effects and your able to focus the light whereas the Parcan wouldnt be used because your not able to focus a light or put a gobo in. A Minuette profile can be used on X-factor as it is a spot light, so there for it is used to focus on one specific person. The beam angle is 50 degrees, the first adjustable knob is used to focus the light. The second knob makes the light bigger or smaller, and the lens is just like a Pebble Convex. The beam angle is 6 - 48.
