5 Bars

Hans Terje Vestergaard from Keldan Church in Eysturoy, Faroe Islands brings us this great lighting stage.

From Hans: We did this design for a conference a few months back. We needed a design that required minimal space, but still could fill out the empty spaces. We came up with this design, That is a combination of LED bars on the stage floor and low-hanging trusses with light fixtures. For the trusses, we simply mounted hoists to the ceiling and hung the trusses on a 15° degree downwards toward the back and the middle of the stage. We mounted 3 Cameo Movo Beam Z100 fixtures on each truss, together with 2 DTS blinders. additionally we had 8 wash fixtures on the top trusses(4x Martin MH2 and 4x Cameo Movo Beam Z100), so all together we had 14 washes hanging above the stage.

We also wanted something to fill out the back wall without filling too much up on the budget, and that didn’t take too much space. We came up with these LED bars, where we took a 10mm wide cable tray, and mounted two LED strips on each side, so that they didn’t shine directly onto the audience, but rather towards the middle of the cable tray itself. And to hide the LED strips we took some diffusing film, and covered the open front of the cable tray with the film.

The total cost of the LED bars was around 150 dollars with everything included, for all 5 led bars.

The fixtures we used for this project were these:
8x Chauvet Rogue R2 for front wash
10x Cameo Movo Beam Z100
4x Martin Rush MH2
4x DTS Blinder
2x 8ch DMX decoder
4x 2meter trusses
4x 1T hoists
