Spotlight Rental Tips
You never want the follow spot to shine in the audiences eyes. Make sure that you choose a placement that won’t interfere with the production. A nice high placement in the rear of the facility is where spotlights are normally located.
Make sure that the spotlight is adjusted to be bright enough to draw the focus where you want it to be. A spotlight that is too dim won’t have the desired effect.
A spotlight that is too bright isn’t ideal. More power isn’t always the answer.
Follow Spot Rental Electrical Power Considerations
There are two types of common follow spot rental configurations – traditional and LED based lights. Traditional lights are able to blast unbelievable amounts of light, but they need tremendous amounts of power to operate. It is common for each traditional light to require it’s own dedicated electrical circuit so that breakers aren’t tripped. Traditional spotlights also generate a tremendous amount of heat.
LED spotlights are not as powerful as their traditional brothers, but they have several advantages. Upwards of 20 LED based spots can operate from a single standard outlet. They just don’t use much power. The light output isn’t quite as high as the alternative (at the time of this writing) but they are getting closer and closer every year.
