Description
A strip light is a multi-circuit stage lighting instrument. Strip lights are one of the most basic types of lighting fixtures for film available. They usually consist of row of lamps. A single strip light is usually wired internally into either three or four circuits. Each internal circuit consists of several lamps evenly spaced within the unit. Often, a film lighting designer will use roundels (colored glass lenses) or gels to make these lights different colors. The unit can then be wired into several different circuits, allowing each bank of colored lights to be controlled by a separate dimmer on the lighting board. Strip lights are often used to color a cyclorama, or can alternately be positioned behind the proscenium arch to provide a general overhead color wash.
Strip lights are versatile and can be used for various purposes in filmmaking. They are often employed for key lighting, providing the primary illumination on a subject and are also useful for accent lighting or creating highlights. The design of strip lights allows for a controlled and uniform spread of light, making them effective for achieving a specific look or mood in a film scene.
These fixtures can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and they come in different sizes and configurations to accommodate the specific needs of a film production. Strip lights are frequently used in conjunction with other lighting equipment to achieve a well-balanced and visually appealing composition in film and television production.
