Movinghead

The moving head is perhaps the most versatile fixture of the moment. You can now use this type of fixture for mood lighting, theater lighting, show lighting, but also as a strobe. Depending on the type of moving head, the possibilities are endless. A moving head is a light effect in which the head of the fixture can rotate around both the horizontal (540 degrees) and vertical (270 degrees) axes. By combining these two axes you can create all kinds of positions, settings and movements. In the head, this moving head has a color wheel, gobo wheel, and 3-way prism. With this you can design the light beam from this fixture completely in the desired color, shape and effect and have it match your event. This fixture is often used in larger numbers.

Controlling 

Unlike stand-alone or independently functioning lighting effects, you always use a moving head with advanced lighting control. A lighting control, which is often also referred to as a DMX controller, requires specific knowledge of professional lighting and the DMX protocol to get the most out of the moving head. Do you not have this knowledge? No worries. In that case, we recommend that you choose one of our stand-alone light effects. You can find these on the party lighting page in our rental shop.

Add-ons and alternatives

The lighting of the moving head immediately looks spectacular when used, but the effect is only really visible when it is used in combination with smoke or fog. It is therefore advisable to rent a smoke machine. We recommend the use of cuelux to control one or more moving heads. However, it is important that you have experience with using such controls to get the whole thing working. Do you want to use a moving head completely wirelessly? Then take a look at our wireless moving head. All these items can also be found at the bottom of the page under the related items.
