7 Installation
Before installing your TheatreCom portable LED stage lighting, it is worth setting up one or two
LED
floodlights
with a
Lighting control
to become familiar with the connections and controls.
7.1 Mounting Arrangements
The bracket fitted to your
LED Floodlights
can be used to mount the light in several ways.
The light can be fitted to a TheatreCom TL-B base and placed on the floor.
The light can be hung from a standard 50mm lighting bar. You are advised to fit a safety chain
in order to ensure the light is secure.
The bracket has screw holes which allow the light to be screwed directly into a wall, ceiling or
beam. Once again, it may be appropriate to consider a safety chain or other restraint.
7.2 Positioning the lights
As a guide, one
LED floodlight
will illuminate approximately 1m of stage. However, more lights will
improve your lighting coverage.
The
LED floodlights
have a beam angle of approximately 30 degrees from centre. Allowing the beams
to cross will minimise shadows and improve the overall lighting effect. If you are using floor-mounted
lights to light a stage, consider adjusting the angle of the outer lights as shown below.
