What should we pay attention to in outdoor lighting design?

2018-08-13

With the rapid development of high technology, it has effectively promoted the replacement of the lighting equipment for the performing arts. The performance, quality, and intelligence of the next-generation stage lighting equipment have made a qualitative leap compared with traditional conventional equipment, laying a solid hardware foundation for the success of large-scale outdoor performances. However, the key to the performance of the lighting effects still depends on the lighting. Designer's creativity. Today, tell everyone about the performance of outdoor lighting design?

1. The area of outdoor performance venues is large, far larger than the general frame-type stage. Therefore, the distance between the light position and the performance area is far away.

2. There are no lighting systems and lighting crane lifting systems that are inherent in the stage of outdoor performance in the form of a frame. Most of them are temporary structures. Whether it is the setting of the total power supply, or the calculation of the amount of wire, lighting fixtures, or the selection of control systems, almost all of them must be started from scratch. Due to the variety of lamps used in outdoor performances and the large number of lamps, the lighting control room, power supply room, and the layout between the lamp positions must all consider the issue of rationality.

3. The special nature of outdoor performance venues and the special requirements of program nature and content, especially the requirements of the director's overall artistic conception, require special lighting design solutions to meet, and sometimes even increase the special lamp position to complete the performance of the performance.

4. Outdoor performances The auditorium is generally a three-faced audience. When arranging lights, the visual needs of the audience on both sides cannot be ignored. If you have television broadcasts or videos, you also need to understand the relevant requirements in advance and consider them when designing lighting.

In view of the above reasons, lighting design for outdoor performances should take into consideration all aspects of the situation, and in most cases, the lighting and convergence of the surrounding natural landscape should also be taken into account.

In a sense, the lighting design of a large-scale outdoor performance needs to grasp the overall space environment of the performance in a more macroscopic manner and serve the performance meticulously and thoughtfully.
