Hey everyone,
I'm beginning the process of designing a lighting system for my church. I'm not too familiar with lighting, so I'll see if anyone here has any ideas. I'll link to some pictures of our room at the end of the post. During the day, with the lights off, there is still some ambient light coming through the windows. The lights will mainly be for color washing to give different moods. It would also be nice to incorporate a few spots to highlight different things. The requirements are as follows:
Budget: I'd like it to stay around 3000 but i'll entertain ideas up to 5000.
Fixtures: I would like all fixtures to be LED for 2 reasons--1)Heat/Power consumption 2)Lamp life.
(I will not rule out moving heads if they meet LED and budget requirement).
Aesthetics: This is a church, so the lighting system must not be an eye-sore.
Noise: Any moving heads must be sufficiently quiet when in idle mode.
I'm open to any suggestions regarding types of lights, brands, how and where to mount them, etc.
One idea I had was to uplight the two wooden columns on each side, and perch a small moving spot on the top of each one.
Here's the link to the photos
Thanks,
Ryan
