One of the most interesting aspects of any amusement part is the lighting aspect. It is done creatively, in a way that every guest has an immersive experience in the park. From indoor lighting to large-scale outdoor lighting installations, everything plays an important role in influencing a guest’s perception about the park. And who can ignore the lights on roller-coasters!
Lights in amusement parks are not just general purpose lighting and decoration, but are directly associated with branding and also to leave an impression on guests. Lighting is so important that it is imperative to allow the park run properly. Amusement lighting solutions are different and the lighting applications are accomplished at a large scale. They can be a mix of lighting options, technology, LED lights, and lighting systems for amusement-specific applications.
Amusement lighting applications are large, complex and feature DMX controllers
Lighting a building in the premises, creating effects with amusement ride light or a themed area is tedious. In order to achieve the desired outcome, they require complex riding commands for a designated area of the park. Theme parks use DMX controllers to control these lighting applications for the purpose.
DMX or Digital multiplex is a device that allows controlling many lighting fixtures at once. These devices are also used in theater and concert productions. Using these devices make it easier to create amazing colors and patterns that can also be changed, depending on the preset inputs.
Amusement parks usually change their lighting inputs based on the season. Theme parks have to change lighting for different seasonal events like winter, Halloween etc. Changing the inputs for the DMX controller, theme park managers can customize the light profiles for their purpose.
