Auditorium and Theater Safety Lighting - AllCinemaSales

Since the room is a completely visible environment, lighting is one of the most critical elements. With good lighting, you can enjoy clear images on the screen while moving safely to get popcorn or a glass of wine. However, poor lighting can wash out the image, making a $15,000 projector perform like a special offer at a $800 office supply store.

 

From a performance point of view, the best video room is a meticulous combination of projector, screen, room and lighting, and the challenge is to provide an overall design to perform well in low light conditions. Let's start with the screen. It is important to make the screen size fit the room exactly, because a large screen will reduce the contrast of the image and increase pixelation. Choose a smaller screen to get a clearer image-you will find that the result is like sitting in the center of the theater instead of sitting in the front row, the front row of the screen is too big for your field of view.

 

Next, you need to ensure a relatively dark room with very little ambient light. Forget the daylight or windows, or install blinds. The reason is contrast. It is the ratio of screen image white to screen image black. Black is not actually black, but depends on the low light level of the room's ambient light and the mutually reflected image light bounced off the walls and ceiling of the room. Ensure that the room itself does not cause lighting and image contrast problems. Dark wall finishes are mostly used, especially around the screen.

Don't hesitate to paint the room (including the ceiling) with dark paint, because if you don't do this, the light from the screen's own image will reflect from the ceiling and wash out the image. As long as the color is deep and the reflectance is low, saturated colors such as red or blue can be used. Avoid using glossy or glossy finishes, such as glossy paint. The most critical surfaces are the ceiling and wall in front of the room, and the wall at the back of the room.

 

Finally, you need to consider that the room (eg video) should be dynamic. When you enter the room, the decoration and architectural style of the room are very important. Then, through the use of dimming and system integration, the light gradually disappeared, and the function and comfort of the room became the main issue.

 

Room lighting is usually divided into functional lighting and decorative lighting. Functional lighting can ensure the ability to move and view key tasks, while decorative lighting is more used for the appearance, characteristics and effects of lighting fixtures. The decorative lighting should be turned off during the execution of the program, so it can be any decoration whose style and appearance match the decoration. There are literally thousands of wall candlesticks, pendants and chandeliers to choose from. (I'm not sure I would recommend a crystal chandelier, because the crystal face may actually cause disturbing reflections on the screen, but it's up to you.)

 

The most difficult part of home Theater Safety Lighting is functional lighting. With a good design, you can read the detailed instructions on the DVD cover with minimal impact on the screen contrast, and then find your way to your home while others are watching the show. For this type of lighting, it takes a long way to go and very sophisticated technology is needed. Most importantly, please use a light that will never cast any light on the screen.

 

I tend to use two independent functional lighting systems. One of them is a higher-level "task" lighting, and the other is a Auditorium Safety Lighting system. For task lights, I prefer low-voltage lamps, usually with good shielding and narrow MR16 floodlights. Keep the lighting lamp at least 4 feet away from the wall to prevent any light from spilling on the wall. You can get good results from low voltage embedded, track lighting and monorail lighting systems. Make sure to put these lights on your own dimmer, because once you have watched the movie, turn them off. Avoid using regular "cans" in home theaters, as they tend to wash out the screen image.

 

There are many ways to provide stepped lighting. Considering the actual step lamp, keep in mind that usually only smaller LEDs and xenon step lamps are needed. Other designs, such as those using linear light strips under the floor steps, will be inspired by the architectural and decorative styles of the room. Always remember to highlight steps and level changes-you can move from one lighting pool to another on a flat floor, but if these steps are involved, make sure the step is in one of these lighting pools.

 

Connect these Safety Lighting systems to modern dimmers and achieve integrated control of lighting and other home theater electronics. Even if the home does not have a dimming system, use a preset dimmer in the theater. This will make it easier to press a button and have light-projection-action, which is the ultimate function of a real home theater.
