  1. Starting at the End

  2. You Got to Know the Territory

  3. You Got to Know the Product

  4. What is a Lighting System?

  5. Lights Control Dimmers

  6. First things First What are the functions of light in an entertainment system? Visibility – Provide enough light to see theperformer. Modeling – The use of light and shadow to reveal form. Focus – The use of light to focus the audiences attention. Information – The use of light to establish time of day, mood and composition in support of the event.

  7. What are the standard directions of light? Front Light – Provides a flat quality, but is good for lighting the eyes.

  8. What are the standard directions of light? Diagonal Front Light – Adds dimensionality to the actor while providing good face light.

  9. What are the standard directions of light? Side Light – Reveals the dimensionality of the actor.

  10. What are the standard directions of light? Back Light – Highlights and separates the actor from the background.

  11. What are the standard directions of light? Diagonal Back Light – Like side light reveals dimensionality as well as separates the actor from the background.

  12. What are the standard directions of light? Down Light – Dramatic, reveals form.

  13. What are the standard directions of light? Up Light – Reverses shadows.

  14. Fixtures and AccessoriesThe end that justifies the means Ellipsoidals Fresnels Cyc Lighting Lamps Patterns / Gobo’s Scrollers Extension cables Color Media / Gel

  15. Ellipsoidal Reflector Spotlight – LEKO, ERS, SL Patented in 1933 by the founders of Century Lighting Joseph Levy and Ed Kook Beam is controllable and shapeable. Shutters Patterns Focus Color

  16. 5°, 10°, 19°, 26°, 36° and 50° field angles High efficiency dichroic glass reflector and coated aspheric computer-designed lenses Coolbeam operation for extended gobo, shutter and gel life High performance 575W lamps Fast and easy lamp centering with positive screw driver lock so that it won't move in transit Fast positive peak/flat adjustment via screw drive mechanism for smooth, tool-free field settings Bayonet action lamp changing system for simple lamp changes without affecting field setting

  17. Compact and lightweight, allowing closer hanging in tighter spaces Smooth 360° body rotation for quick and easy gobo and shutter positioning Shutters in three planes for triangular shutter cut Highly versatile rigging by combining 360° rotation with two balance positions for yoke Large rear handle for easy positioning Wide gate will fit 2 gobo holders, including glass gobo holder, drop-in iris or rotating gobo holder
