Moving Heads – Professional Lighting with Gobos, Prisms & Dynamic Effects
Looking for powerful and flexible lighting for your show, event, or production? Moving heads are the industry standard when it comes to professional lighting effects. With their rotating head and versatile functions, you can create spectacular light shows that perfectly match your setting.
Whether you’re equipping a TV studio, festival, wedding, concert stage, or nightclub – a moving head light delivers dynamics, color, and precision in one compact fixture.
What Are Moving Heads?
A moving head is a type of lighting fixture in which the light source can pan (horizontally) and tilt (vertically). This allows beams of light to be projected in almost any direction, creating highly dynamic effects. Moving heads are often equipped with features such as color changes, gobo projections, zoom, and focus, making them ideal for complex light shows.
LED vs. Discharge Lamps
Most modern moving heads use LED technology, which offers benefits such as longer lifespan, lower power consumption, and less heat generation. However, discharge lamps are still used in some situations for their intense brightness and specific color properties. The choice between LED and discharge depends on the production requirements and desired effects.
Applications of Moving Heads
Thanks to their versatility, moving heads are used in a wide range of settings:
Concerts & Festivals – create dynamic light shows synchronized with music
Theater Productions – highlight scenes and actors with precise accents

Key Features of Moving Heads
