Hi All,
I am currently designing a basic lighting system to front light our church stage area. The stage is 34' wide, by 12' deep at the center (diagram attached). Lighting hangs would be about 20' throw distance. I would like to highlight the podium zone with 2 point lighting (ellipsoidal). I was thinking of using Par 56 cans lamped at 500W for the rest, but I'm not sure how many I need. I was thinking of 5 zones, with the podium zone being handled by the ellipsoidal pair. That leaves 4 zones for the Pars to cover. Does anyone have suggestions? I would consider using ellipsoidals everywhere, but I'm worried about the increased cost. I likely wouldn't be able to afford 2-point all the way across with ellipsoidals.
