Lighting the Stage Front to Back

Key Design Tips: A PROLIGHTS Approach to Visual Excellence

Stage lighting is more than illumination—it’s storytelling. Whether you’re designing for theatre, worship, live music, or corporate events, PROLIGHTS fixtures offer a complete solution to transform your stage from front wash to dramatic backlight.

Design Philosophy: Layered Lighting for Impact

Effective stage lighting is built on layers. Front lighting ensures visibility and clarity, side and back lighting add depth and drama, and top lighting creates isolation and focus. PROLIGHTS fixtures are engineered to support this layered approach, allowing designers to blend visibility, atmosphere, and rhythm into a cohesive visual experience.

Fixture Breakdown: Tools for Every Angle

Front Light and Side Lighting
PROLIGHTS EclProfile CT+ and EclProfile CT+HP ellipsoidals are the perfect fixtures for your front of house needs. They deliver crisp full-color control and high-CRI tunable white from 1,800k to 20,000k, making them the ideal choice for a multitude of uses. They’re a staple for all front light and side light applications. The 6-color array also provides accessibility to the full-color spectrum space, making it equally efficient at using color to set the mood and atmosphere of the production. Its precise optics and crisp framing shutters make it excellent for lighting scenery with precision.

Back and Top Light
The EclFresnel and EclPAR IP Series Pars are powerful and capable lighting instruments that deliver consistency, flexibility, and versatility in many applications. Fresnels are a perfect solution for your top or backlight as they use the same six-color engine as the CT+ Ellipsoidal. This helps the lighting designer easily match colors throughout the entire stage. The included barn doors and a wide zoom range provide exceptional control over the fixture’s beam spread and output.

The EclPar Series of fixtures is an excellent, budget-friendly fixture. The EclPar range offers an RGB-WW LED light engine with exceptional output and lensing options. Its Spektra calibrated LED source delivers a high-quality white reproduction with high CRI and advanced control over colours, ensuring consistency across fixtures. The unit is compact and completely fan-free, making the EclPar Series a workhorse for any theatre, indoor or outdoor environment, corporate events, or studios where silent operations are required.

Rear Cyc Light – EclCyclorama
The EclCyc series of fixtures seamlessly lights your cyc from top to bottom in brilliant color using its RGB+WW LED engine. The fixture also has four adjustable feet, so it can be used as a footlight on the front edge of your stage for added scenic depth.

Control & Programming: Power Meets Simplicity

PROLIGHTS fixtures integrate seamlessly with industry-standard lighting control consoles, offering intuitive cue programming and smooth operation. This makes them ideal for theaters, churches, schools, and studios where ease of use is essential.
