Several situations that need to be considered in the lighting design of song and dance halls

The lighting design of the dance hall is a more complicated problem. Before designing, we must pay attention to the following issues:

1. Understand the business direction (purpose) and investment situation of the ballroom.
2, pay attention to the size of the ballroom, especially the size of the stage, dance floor, space height, as well as the overall art design, decoration design requirements, these are the key factors affecting the design.
3, understand the distribution supply, power supply situation.

Song and dance hall in a variety of forms, there is no fixed mode, according to the nature of its entertainment can be roughly divided into karaoke hall, dance hall, dance hall three categories.

1. Kara OK Hall
Pure karaoke is a form of self-entertainment for the masses, and the requirements for lighting and sound are not too high. The lighting design mainly considers the creation of the overall environment atmosphere, giving people a relaxed, warm and romantic feeling. In the selection of lamps, it is advisable to use more directional lamps and combine them into a certain shape. Mechanized lamps should choose slow-moving varieties, with low power and thick colors. UV lamp glass ball, light rain lamp can be said to be its representative. Use small light bulbs, small light belts, trotting lights and other small lights to make some elaborate decorations on the stage to form an interesting and distinctive small regiment stage, which is easy to do well. With the development of karaoke, there has been a video karaoke hall. Considering the characteristics of the camera, the lighting design should make appropriate arrangements for the light in the singing area. Generally, a small spotlight or a small modeling lamp is selected to design a character modeling light with a certain illuminance for the singer, so as to ensure that the recorded program has clear characters and clear images.

2. Ballroom
The ballroom can be divided into two categories: Disco (strong dance) hall and ballroom dance (slow dance) hall. The lighting of the dance floor can make people feel the charming charm of light and color, especially the lighting with music, melody and rhythm changes is more fascinating and intoxicating. In the design of the lighting, the layout of the directional lamps should be patchwork, the direction of the projection is all-round, combined with the control system can produce a clear, strong sense of rhythm. Mechanized lamps can be considered more, but the configuration should pay attention to the combination of dynamic speed and slow, with fast and slow, and colorful colors. In particular, the mechanical lamps with voice control system can better express the heart trembling sense of rhythm. The powerful strobe light with adjustable frequency is the preferred variety. It should be noted that when choosing the variety of lamps, we must ensure the number of more lamps. As long as the economy permits, the lights in the ballroom will not be too many. In the choice of control equipment, it is necessary to choose a console that can be programmed by itself. The number of thyristor circuits must also be relatively large, but the power is not required. The purpose is to ensure that the lighting engineer can control all the lights at will, so as to fully display the charm of the lights.

3, Large dance hall
The form of the song and dance hall has the nature of professional performance, and has the functional characteristics of karaoke and dance hall. Its mode of operation, more emphasis on high-level, with a professional level of artistic performance and singing. The design of song and dance halls generally requires a larger space, especially the height should not be too low, the performance stage is relatively independent and complete, and some are even equipped with complex activity stages and rotating stages. The performances in the song and dance hall are all-encompassing, including plays, sketches, dances, solo and joint singing. Different types of programs, even music and songs with different emotional appeal require different lighting effects to set off the atmosphere, which gives consideration to lighting control and lighting design.

(1) Basic light-in order to allow the audience to see the stage clearly and see the performance clearly. First of all, give the whole stage a basic lighting. This basic illumination includes uniform white light and colored light illumination. Basic white light lighting is necessary, but the illumination requirement is not high, especially in some many occasions, or the climax of some performances, or some special performances (such as magic), the basic white light is particularly important. The basic color light is the atmosphere light of the whole stage. It determines the tone of the whole lighting effect, either passionate, romantic or melancholy. In the selection of lamps and lanterns, spotlights should be used for the light installed in front of the stage and cast on the stage. The color light should not be too deep. Spotlights or beam spotlights can be used at the top of the stage performance and at the back of the stage (backlight). The direction of light is cast on the appreciation body from behind. The brightness can be brighter and the color can be thicker.

(2) Character light-group performance and large-area lighting are solved by basic white light. Local lighting and host lighting are solved by chasing lights, so it is best to match 2 to 3 chasing lights to cope with different occasions. A motorcade or other relatively fixed performer may use a beam of spotlights to project light at fixed points.

(3) background light-the background of the dance hall will change with the different performers, each change is because of the aesthetic feeling or the needs of the program. The background light is to highlight these background objects properly so that they can be integrated into the performance and enhance the theme. Common background lights include sky curtain lights, ground curtain lights, beam lights, etc.

(4) Basic effect lamp-composed of directional beam lamps, with three-dimensional space modeling beauty, colorful changes, modeling can be arbitrarily combined and changed by the stage lighting division.

(5) Special effect lamp-computer lamp is the best special effect lamp because of its superior performance and ever-changing effect. However, the price of computer lights is relatively expensive, so it must be considered under the premise of ensuring basic light and basic effects. At the same time, due to the use of computer lights, the number of basic effect lights can be relatively reduced. Each lamp mechanical lamp, because its function is relatively single, fixed, will feel that they are not easy to control, it can be equipped with less.

(6) Light console-the above lights need to control their brightness. Generally controlled by silicon controlled equipment. When selecting the lighting console, it is advisable to choose the console type product with strong effect function, many controllable circuits and convenient operation. If the economy permits, it is best to use a computer console.
