The differences between moving head light and beam light

Beam lights and moving head lights are widely used in stages, bars, conference venues and other places, and are used in many areas of design. So what is the difference between beam light and moving head light? Where are beam lights and moving head lights used in stage lighting design? Let's talk with you all below.

The beam light is to concentrate the light source to a point and shoot it out to form a beam, which is generally called a spotlight. The recommended use distance of beam lights is 12 meters away, so they are generally used in large-scale locations such as large stages and malls. 

Moving head light is a high-tech product that integrates electronics, machinery and optics through programming to form patterns and the effect of beam movement. Generally used in stage or entertainment venues. 

Therefore, there is a fundamental difference between beam lights and moving head lights. The needs of users are different, the effects are different, and the applications are also different. 

1. In terms of effect, the beam light has a wide angle and narrow light concentration, which can form a very bright beam on the stage. Moving head lights are pattern lights with discharge bulbs, with larger shooting angles, but not high brightness. The beam light is mainly based on the beam effect, while the moving head light is based on the pattern effect.

2. In terms of distance, the recommended working distance of the beam light is 12 meters away. The moving head light can be opened three meters away, the farther the distance is, the larger the pattern and the lower the definition.

   
   

   
   

The above are the main points of difference between beam light and moving head light. I hope to help everyone.
