Nightclub lighting always adds to the entertainment, emerging light, sound and people with atmosphere to take the crowds experience over the top. Nightclub lighting is available in a few different configurations. These include, Moving Head, Spots, Beams and Scanner type lights as well as Par Can and Wash bar Lighting. Moving head lights can be a combination of spots, beams or washes and are usually focused over the dance floor, however can be implemented anywhere the lighting deigned wants to add the dramatic affects of moving light. This can be over the dance floor, all over the club or as a focal point on stage or DJ booth. Moving head lighting are lights that mount to a motorized yoke system and can move and sweep the light beams for that “Search Light” lighting effect.

Par can and wash bar lighting are usually LED and can combine and mix almost any color combination wanted and are usually used as accent, stage or effect lighting adding to the overall lighting design of the nightclub, these lights are used to light up the stage area, DJ booth, for wall washing or mood lighting

Nightclub lights are controlled via internal programs that operates the lighting with different modes like Sound Active, Auto or DMX - Sound Active will operate the lights internal programs to display the lighting effect to the beat of the music. Auto mode will go through the internal programs in a random pattern regardless of any input. DMX (Digital MultipleX) or Intelligent lighting will use DMX controllers or DMX software that generates movements according to the programming. Most of the more advanced nightclub lighting systems will use a 512 DMX control system that lets you control every aspect of the lighting. This allows for total control over the lighting design and effects

These lights and also be linked together and controlled as a Master / Slave set up, so what ever the (1st - Master) light does, all other will do the same exact effects. - Nightclub Lighting Fixtures
