Title: LED PAR CAN Fixture - Diffuser or Diffusing
Post by: Richard Ed on February 07, 2021, 06:04:59 PM

Hi there,

This forum has got some really valuable information and than you all for the contributions...

This is my first question and would really appreciate some help.

We have a stage that is 10m wide x 5m deep. we have about 17 PAR LEDs lighting up the stage.

What we are noticing is that the lights are too bright at certain spots and quite dull in other spots and also shadows. I have attached a picture for reference.

We had few options in mind and wonder which ones would be suitable. I have listed them in the order of our preference.

1. Install acrylic sheets to the lights to diffuse the lights. Then Shuffle the lights that we have, so that we have some lighting from sides and back
2. Add more lights from other angles to improve the spread of light

Any thoughts on the effectiveness of option 1? Have people added acrylic sheets to the LED par cans to diffuse and get a wider spread? Any thoughts on this would be very much appreciated.
