Rendering of RGBW Auditorium House Lighting
RGBW House Lighting
This summer, the Plainfield High School theater and auditorium are being transformed into a modern Performing Arts Center (PAC). A dynamic and unique element of this new space is the RGBW house lighting. This will extend the performance into the house blurring the line where the stage ends and audience begins. With the additions of pro-audio and visual elements, the RGBW house lighting will allow for immersive experiences that fully engage audience members. Students will enjoy unparalleled creativity while the Plainfield PAC will attract renters from across the state.
Leading architectural-grade lighting manufacturer, Acolyte LED, were on site last week testing out different options from their product line to find the perfect fit for this application. Now they have provided renderings of an initial design for the implementation where continuous lines of lighting run horizontally across the ceiling and connect both sides of the auditorium. The run of lighting will adhere to the existing curvature of the auditorium to keep a cohesive and expansive aesthetic that draws attention to where the magic happens: the stage.
The house lighting will be tied into the lighting controls providing highly-nuanced ability to create. From chase scenes, to strobing school colors, to immersive wave-like oscillations, the possible effects are limitless.
What is RGBW Lighting?
RGBW stands for red-green-blue-white. RGBW fixtures are equipped with tiny LED chips that deliver red, green, blue, or white light. Being primary colors, any other color can be created by combining red, green, and blue light in different ratios. The white component allows for bright, crisp light for standard illumination. Therefore, RGBW LED lights allow for full creative control to create any color and effect. This technology not only provides magnificent creative options, but radically changed stage lighting such that what used to take four fixtures now only requires one!
