Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates generally to lighting, and in particular to the implementation and control of LED-based lighting devices for stage lighting applications. Background technique
[0002] Lighting devices have been used for many years for set and stage lighting in a variety of theatrical, television and architectural lighting applications. Typically, each lighting fixture includes a fluorescent lamp mounted adjacent to a concave reflector that reflects light through a lens assembly to project a beam of light toward a theater stage or the like. Color filters may be mounted at the front of the lighting device to transmit selected wavelengths of light emitted by the lamp while absorbing and / or reflecting other wavelengths. This provides a specific spectral composition for the projected light beam.
[0003] The color filters (also commonly referred to as "gels") used in such lighting devices typically comprise glass or plastic films such as pol...
