Members ChiroVette Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hey everyone, I was going to post this in the lighting forum, but that seems pretty dead, so I decided to post it here, My band has an outdoor gig today in Amityville from 3:30 until about 7:30ish. So it is all daylight. But it looks like it is going to be mostly cloudy. I am going to start loading the gear in the next little while, and was thinking maybe if it is that overcast, that LED lighting might be a decent enough idea. But, being new to lights, I am not sure if LED lights would make any sense in daylight even on an overcast day. Is this even worth my time, or should I just forget the lights? Thanks!

Members abzurd Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 I wouldn't worry about lights. They'll really make no difference and it's one less thing to pack up after you're done. Also, clouds could mean rain, so it's also a few less things to scramble to get under cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChiroVette Posted May 18, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 Good point, Abzurd! Also, one less thing to set up before the show. Yeah I am going to leave the lights home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 The higher the ambient light level, the more light power you need to make an effect. Justl like overcoming high background noise levels with sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 You can place them behind the band on a truss facing the audience, that's about the only way they will be visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
