This week I attended a theater conference where I had the chance to check out some new lighting technology. One of the new things I found is the "I-Cue" (pictured above) This an attachment you can add to an ETC Source Four which can make it a Intelligent Moving Light. It has a reflecting mirror that is controlled via a DMX cable back to the lighting board. You can find it here:

I want you to surf the web and find a new lighting technology and share it with your classmates. Describe what it does in detail and make sure you provide a link! Lets see who finds the newest coolest lighting technolog
A new lighting technology I found was Showbiz Pre-viz. This is a software that lets you program and watch what your show will look like on a computetr screen. The lighting effects are in real time and looks so real that you would think it is on the actual stage. You can also put people on the virtual stage and angle the lighting around it so you know exactly what it would look like.

Vari-Lite VL3500 Q Spot with shutters is one the highest grade new lighting instruments around. it is automatic with 6:1 zoom optics, CYM color mixing, variable CTO color temperature correction, a six-position color wheel, two gobo/effects wheels, a shutter and separate dimmer and ultra-fast strobe mechanisms. it is very high tech and expensive.

when i was introduced to lighting, my favorite thing by far was the gels. i love the colors they create and they make lighting more interesting. so, i decided to reserch more gel colors and designs for this blog. what i found was interesting. i found a gel on www.stagespot.com that was multi colored in different spots on the gel. this particular one started yellow on the top and faded in and out of green, orange, and blue. i certainly would like to try one of these out. the light would look amazing.

I found the Lighting EX-2 Moonflower Effect. This item sends out a bunch of different colored light which I think do move. This is a light you would most likely see at a rock concert, but still has a very cool effect. It is continous with sound active modes and is fan cooled so it will never over heat. It only ways five pounds the dimensions are 9"W x 11.5"H x 10"L and is powered with 100 watts.

i found the American DJ Punch LED Pro DMX. It is very similar to a strip light in the fact that it is used soely to add a color wash to anything. The diffrence is it uses LED lights, so it takes less power and has about the same lighting strength.

I found this website that does not have any lights that they sell, but their objective is trying to take theater lighting and making it more green or energy efficient. They are talking about lights that will be cheaper and use less energy. I think this is a great idea and they are trying to make advancements in theater lighting but at the same time making it energy efficient.

The new theater lighting technology that I found was the Rosco Single Gobo Rotator. It will fit most ellipsoidal fixtures and it and it lets the gobo be rotated in the center axis of the beam. This means that you can have moving gobo using some of the standard theater lighting, you just have to insert this peace of equipment. It has a speed 12V DC motor and a DC/DMX controller. The DC/DMX controller can operate 4 single gobo rotators or 2 double gobo rotators.

The new lighting technology that I discoverd is called "The City Theatrical Beam Bender". This cutting edge acessory attaches easily to any Source Four ellipsoidal for flexibility in fixture placement.It is perfect for shooting around scenery or other obstructions.This accessoorie has an adjustable mirror for the controlling angle and spread of beam. It is a must have for dance designers needing maximum light output at floor level.
