When setting up an exhibition for an event or business function, it is crucial that the atmosphere receives due consideration. You want the lighting, sound and all aspects of the area to contribute to the message you are trying to share. Instead of settling for the dull track lighting that is likely already installed in the space, you can quickly and easily add depth by employing gobo lighting effects.
Depending on whether you will be highlighting a single object or installation, such as a new product or sculpture, or will have exhibits along several walls, more akin to a traditional art gallery, you will need different lighting solutions. You can choose from having darker ambient lighting with a spotlight on the object you want to draw your audience’s attention to, or use a more inviting broadly lit effect.
Track mounting height and beam angle are other things you will need to consider.If you are exhibiting a larger piece, such as a large model or image, you may want to consider a metal halide lamp. This type of lightning is available in a range of wattages, and have a color temperature close to sunlight for a more natural look and good color rendering.
You can also mix metal halide lamps with LEDs to add highlights where needed, while still maintaining a similar quality of light. A mix of lighting can also help to reduce energy consumption while still allowing for proper illumination.
With the right lighting tools, you can make any exhibition space an area that feels inviting and comfortable. Contact GoboSource for more information about the gobos available for your space, or for details concerning creating your own custom designs.
