In today’s digital lighting market, there are many more options available with an ever-widening range of LED products being introduced. Multiple LEDs in a single fixture can be more versatile than a single point source, and many manufacturers have taken advantage of this flexibility to create lighting fixtures capable of dynamic and unique visual effects. Both media servers and pixel mapping are more widely used in the lighting world today, so it only makes sense that the fixtures being developed would match that functionality. So the next time you want to do some pixel mapping in your show, consider replacing the single source PARs in the rig with LEDs, and let the magic begin.
