Many lighting fixture manufacturers
are now adding amber LEDs to their RGB or RGBW fixtures. The benefit of adding amber
LEDs is improved color mixing and better color emittance from brown and orange
surfaces.
For example, using an RGB light
source to illuminate a brown surface with orange light will produce a red or reddish
orange. Using amber LEDs will correct this issue, and an RGBA fixture will
display orange as true orange regardless of which surface it is shone onto. Furthermore,
having amber LEDs in your fixtures will produce nicer warm whites instead of
RGB mixed versions, which can look fairly cool.
Nowadays, many weddings and
corporate gigs feature gold, orange and peach as their main colour, and amber
LEDs significantly help towards creating the ambience desired by the client.
RGBA or RGBAW fixtures are much more expensive than the standard RGB fixtures,
but it is generally worth it for the added benefits. For theatre and stage
lighting, having RGBAW fixtures is a requirement as it helps with skin colours.
The SpotMax™ (AX10) features
RGBAW LEDs. These LEDs are Philips manufactured and, as the AX10 can be used as
a stage light and an event/DJ light; it really makes sense for it to feature
the 5-in-1 ability.
We have already mentioned why it’s
important for stage lighting to have amber LEDs, but it’s also very useful for
DJs as it adds professionalism to their proposition. We have heard many times how
having the added amber ability gives DJs and wedding organisers many more
options in today’s very selective and demanding wedding market – and even
though many brides choose colour schemes that an RGB set can reproduce, having a wider selection is exactly how they appeal to the more finicky, high-end weddings. It gives DJs
the upper hand when comparing to just RGB fixtures.
