LED Follow Spot Lights
Have you ever been in a show where the followspot operator left the performers in the dark? This is a common occurrence caused by poor or disengaged operator performance.
The Chauvet LED Followspot 75ST is a full-sized, portable follow spot that gives you the power of a traditional profile lantern with the flexibility and control options you need to make great spots. DMX connectivity simplifies operation and reduces fading.
Features
The use of LEDs as a light source brings significant improvement in energy efficiency, color options and control capabilities when compared to traditional tungsten follow spots. They are also typically lighter, smaller and more compact than their halogen Theater spot lights counterparts, making them easier to handle, set up and transport. This makes them an ideal choice for portable lighting systems or any application that requires the followspot to be moved on a regular basis.
LEDs produce colored light through the use of spectrally engineered chip- and package-level color mixing. This allows the production of secondary colors through the direct combining of primary wavelengths without the wasteful loss of radiant energy typically associated with subtractive color mixing using standard color filters. In addition, the small size of an LED lamp means that it can be cooled with a fan, which further reduces its power consumption and improves its performance.
Many modern LED follow spot lights include a mechanical iris and framing shutters that enable the adjustment of the beam width in addition to the focus control. In addition to remote operation via DMX, they often feature local controls that provide stand-alone on/off switching, dimming, color correction and change, and pattern projection.
Some models allow the operator to be situated at ground level and operate the unit from a safe position backstage. Others are automated, removing the operator altogether and allowing them to simply point the light at a given performer.
Controls
Using a remote controlled follow spot light means you can easily change the position of the spotlight on stage without having to move the fixture. This can be helpful for events that require a lot of movement, like a wedding or a concert. You can also use a follow spot to highlight static targets, such as a cake on the sweetheart table or a large portrait.

Maintenance
Using a followspot is hot work, so it’s important to stay hydrated and wear thin layers of clothing. A good tip for the spotting operator is to use a pair of biker gloves to protect their hands from the heat, and make sure that the lantern is properly balanced – this will help it to be easy to operate.
