Pixel bars and LED matrix panels are two popular types of effect fixtures used in streamed sets. Professional buyers, such as rental houses, touring productions, and event companies, need to choose the right fixture type to achieve the desired effect.
The short answer
For a streamed set, consider fixtures with DMX512 control protocol, such as the 24pcs 1.5W RGB Outdoor LED bar, which offers a high level of control and flexibility.
What are the key considerations when choosing a fixture type?
When choosing a fixture type, consider the set design, the desired effect, and the control protocol. DMX512 is a common protocol used in stage lighting. Also, think about the IP rating if the fixtures will be used outdoors. The 24pcs 1.5W RGB Outdoor LED bar has an IP rating, making it suitable for outdoor use.
How do I determine the right size and configuration for my fixtures?
Consider the set design, the desired effect, and the throw distance. A larger fixture may be needed for a longer throw distance. Also, think about the power consumption and the available power supply. The 300W LED Panel light -warm white and cold white 2in1 has a power consumption of 450W and a throw distance of 8 meters.
