How can haze be used in stage design?
Just like we would use wide wash fixtures to evenly light up a large surface, such as a wall or fabric, an even haze in the air can serve as a surface in which wash lights can cover as a surface of sorts. There are two parts to making this work. (1) First you need a good, even haze in the room.
Can you use LED lighting and haze together?
Another lighting element I see more frequently used is haze, and again, for good reason as there is a lot you can do with your lighting in a well-hazed environment. But I’ve seen a lot of interesting choices made in rooms where LED fixtures and haze are used together.
Which is the best way to scatter light?
When trying to brighten a dark space, many people look to mirrors to reflect light around a room. But that’s actually a bit of a design myth. The best way to scatter light is by using lots of white, because the non-hue doesn’t absorb any color. Instead, white sends as much light as possible bouncing indirectly back to other surfaces.
When do you see halos around a light source?
These bright circles of light around a light source are often referred to as “halos.”. Halos around lights are most often noticed at nighttime or when you’re in a dimly lit room. Halos can sometimes be a normal response to bright lights.
That percentage of light that when passing through deviates from the incident beam greater than 2.5 degrees (on average) is defined as Haze. Total transmittance is the measure of the total incident light compared to the light that is actually transmitted (e.g. total transmittance).
What’s the best way to create a laser effect?
If you’re trying to create a nearly laser beam effect, made popular by the Clay Paky Sharpie fixture, you need to look at a fixture with a beam spread as small as you can get. Generally 5 degrees or less, these fixtures shoot tight, bright laser-like beams through the air for a very powerful effect.
