What Is the Difference Between a Wash, Spot, and Beam Light Fixture?

There are several lighting fixtures on the market, so you have more than enough options for your upcoming event to make it stand out! And with the assistance of a professional lighting company that offers a range of lighting products, you’re on your way to experiencing an event like no other.

Each of these fixtures offers different effects with its unique purpose, and we’re certain something here will grab your fancy!

  • Wash Lights

Wash lights are broad area coverage light fixtures illuminating a large area or space evenly. They produce even washes of light that can be either static or dynamic depending on the type of fixture.

The most common wash fixtures are LED washes, which are energy efficient, dimmable, low maintenance, and provide vibrant color saturation.

A certified lighting expert can work with you to deice the best places to place these lights to add to the beauty of the venue and event!

 

  • Spotlights

Spotlights typically use narrow beams for precision illumination with high-intensity output and tight control for focused beam angles.

These lights are often used in theatrical productions, smaller weddings, and corporate events. Spotlights can highlight specific areas of a room or draw attention to certain objects, persons, or décor.

So, how do you intend to use them at your event? And is it a corporate event or something you feel deserves to be celebrated, like a graduation party?

Talk with your lighting expert and decide the best way to use spotlights to bring flair to your event!

 

  • Beam Lights

Finally, we have beam lights. They are similar to spotlights but often have wider beams for more widespread coverage and less focus on intensity.

They’re typically used for ambient lighting with static color washes that can add atmosphere and ambiance to any event space!
