Additional information

Lighting Factors

This fixture works best with a white beam. You can choose from other colors by watching our advanced video in the easy setup instructions tab. We recommend you use a step stool (not provided) to assist with operation of followspot. Once it is setup you will need to slightly loosen side brackets to swivel and move fixture. This gives it the followspot motion.

Try to keep the beam as tight as possible. Zoom it down to the best working angle. This smaller beam will prevent it from getting into guests eyes during operation. Besides using your followspot for grand entrances, use this equipment rental to spotlight decorations and other important formalities.

When your overhead venue lights are dimmed, lighting creates a beautiful glow for your reception photos. If your hall is a golf course with a lot of windows then this effect will be more noticeable immediately following your sunset. You can look up when the sunsets in your area by using this great tool Sunrise Sunset Calculator.

Easy Setup Instructions

How to setup followspot light for first dance and grand entrance

With Stand and Plunger (helps elevate fixture to cover more space & control beams)
1.) Widen tripod stand by loosening the side knob and pulling the legs out to form a wider base.
2.) Once you have the legs pulled to the right width (approximately 2 feet), then you can re-tighten the bolt (don’t over tighten)
3.) Attach plunger by sliding over top of light stand (it should be a tight fit)
4.) To attach the light you unscrew the top nut, slide the lighting bracket on the screw, and screw the nut back on (sandwiches the bracket in-between the two nuts)
5.) Plug followspot in with power cord between the fixture and outlet
6.) Fixture will automatically turn on with a white beam, slide barn doors painted red from side of fixture outwards, this make the beam shine through the barrel and onto your projected surface
7.) Elevate stand if necessary and aim your spot light in the desired position, keep brackets somewhat loose to allow easy fluid movements while in use (we recommend using a portable ladder to make it easier to move elevated fixture)
