Moving heads take a light show from basic to pro. They pan, tilt and change color and gobos on cue. This guide covers the main types and what to look for.
Spot Moving Heads
Spots project sharp gobos and patterns. They are the most flexible choice for mobile DJs and small stages.
Beam Moving Heads
Beams throw a tight, bright shaft of light which cuts through haze. They are the go to for clubs, concerts and big events. Pair them with a hazer.
Wash Moving Heads
Washes cover the stage or dance floor in soft, even color. Many include zoom and pixel effects.
Hybrid Fixtures
Hybrids combine spot, beam and wash in one unit. They give mobile DJs the most looks per fixture.
What Pros Check
Check LED wattage, weight, DMX channels, built in programs and whether it fits your controller. For permanent installs, look at noise level and IP rating for outdoor use.
Mounting and Control
Mount moving heads on truss totems or truss with proper Global Truss clamps. Control them with a DMX controller or software.
