Hoping some kind person could help with a total lighting novice with a bit of advice. We run a small touring Wrestling show and are looking to add some very basic lighting to our presentation. The atmosphere with lights when we tour theatre style venues is much better than our set up in town halls and sports centres. Our smaller events attract around 200 people so we can’t invest a great amount, particularly at the moment due to lack of income due to the pandemic.
We are going to set up high T-Bar stands pointing down from each corner of the ring.
Please don’t think WWE when recommending a set up – we need something simple and basic. Not to be TV quality but to add a little more to our live experience. Although being able to film the events without the lighting making that impossible with glare is still a concern (perhaps I need advice on our camera lenses too!)
Working on the assumption that we can get lighting that connects to a central controller (DMX ???) I’m looking to find out –
What type of lights we should buy, and how many would be needed pointing down from each corner to cover our 15 foot sq ring?
I’m also looking to establish if we could go a little fancier by being able to program them to change colour etc for wrestler entrances or if this would mean much more expensive light or an additional set as well as the white ones.
Any advice would be massively appreciated.
Thank you!
