Moving Head Lights | Concerts, theaters, clubs | 280W Halogen Lamp (IEC 60598) ▲ 350W (Advanced model) IP33 (dust/water per IEC 60529) 3500K CCT (warm white/white) | ▲ Versatile effects (gobo patterns, beam shaping) Durable build (metal chassis) Programmable control (remote DMX) | Higher power consumption Limited color flexibility (fixed CCT) Requires gobo accessories for effects |
LED Wash Lights | Background lighting, color washing | 100W RGB LEDs (IEC 62479) IP65 (dust/waterproof) 3000K–6500K tunable CCT | Energy-efficient (low heat output) Color consistency (wide CCT range) Compact design (easy to stack) | Limited beam control Lower lumen output vs halogen Requires external dimmers |
PAR Cans | Filling spaces, basic lighting | 500W Halogen (IEC 60598) IP20 (indoor use only) Fixed beam angle (45°) | Cost-effective Instant on/off High lumen output (100,000+ lumens) | No movement capabilities High heat generation Single CCT (no color tuning) |
Follow Spot Lights | Highlighting performers | 1000W Xenon (IEC 60598) Manual tracking IP23 (indoor use) | High intensity (spotlight focus) Long throw distance (50m+) Adjustable zoom | Requires operator for tracking Heavy and bulky Short bulb lifespan (500h) |
Moving Beam Lights | Laser-like effects, beam shaping | 300W RGB LEDs (IEC 62479) IP30 (indoor) Gobo rotation (EN 62471) | Dynamic beam effects (prisms, frost) Programmable patterns (DMX control) Low maintenance (LED) | Limited color mixing precision Higher cost vs traditional PARs Requires gobo disks |
LED Panels | Soft lighting, interviews | 150W daylight LEDs (5600K) IP20 (indoor) Dimmable 10%–100% (IEC 61347) | Adjustable color temp (3200K–5600K) Portable (lightweight) Low glare | Short throw distance (10m) Less impact in large venues Lower output vs moving heads |
