FAQs
Beam - What are the two angles used for?
This feature allows calculations for Par lamps. The first angle (top) is the angle running up and down the beam, whilst the second (bottom) is the angle across the beam. The angles can be linked using the lock button so they always change together.
Beam - what is the difference between the two modes?
The accurate mode takes into account the height and distance of the unit from the platform so you get the real coverage across the stage. Simple mode assumes the lantern is at 90˚ to the surface it is lighting.
