New lights can bring life to an old venue

Rather than spending thousands on renovations, an older theater or bar can use its antiquated furnishing to its advantage, as long as it has the right lighting.

An antique or vintage theater can bring in new lighting, using gobo projection and spots to exemplify, rather than try to hide, the older features of the building. From architecture to antique furniture, the right lighting can bring out characteristics that patrons will appreciate while masking signs of wear or age.

Beyond basic lighting, however, the right application of gobo images and designs can provide a new perspective on an older theater. Updating the stage lighting, incorporating new LED-based systems and making use of motion effects can optimize performances without completely renovating the stage area.

When electing to upgrade lighting, as opposed to other, more intensive renovations, a theater needs to make some considerations. What type of projectors does it need? How many lights? What filters, lenses and gobos should it purchase? Selecting a broad array of lighting options will ensure any type of production can be supported while opening up new opportunities as well. Furthermore, having a collection of custom gobo images will ensure even unique stage lighting needs can be met.
