A DMX Light Switch Does The Job

In the world of modern day stage lighting terms change and equipment names may change but the inner working often time remain unchanged. Take for example the Dmx Light Switch. Now for all intense and purposes a Dmx Light Switch is a fancy new term for a dimmer control or dimmer pack. The two key differences from these and a Dmx Light Switch is that firstly, a Dmx Light Switch is designed to control a DMX protocol controlled device, such as a intelligent light or a moving head light. The second and most noticeable difference is that a Dmx Light Switch is much smaller and compact than your standard luminary dimmer pack.

In stage lighting designs of the past the lighting consisted of a present lighting console, cable connections from the lighting board to the dimmer packs, and the lighting fixtures themselves. Lighting designers had to employ the use of sometime multiple stationary lighting fixtures to create the lighting as needed by the performer. They were also limited in terms of the type of control they had over the lights. To put it simply, they could dim the lights, turn them on or turn them off.

All this change radically changed with the advent of the more advanced intelligent lights and DMX. However, even with these new light fixtures there was still a need for dimmer pack. As many lighting designers, still to this day, incorporate standard lighting in with the modern stage light of today. A Dmx Light Switch tends to cover all the bases rather well, with the added bonus of being rather easy on the wallet. The upside to a Dmx Light Switch is that it can communicate with a DMX light fixture in the capacity of a dimmer.

It can also be run individually or it can be daisy chained to offer a many channels needed in a lighting scheme. A DMX Light Switch also has the upside of being rather small and inexpensive. With seemingly every performing having to keep one eye on their performance and the other on their budget the cost effectiveness of a DMX Light Switch is spreading into the lighting consoles as well. With lighting components like a DMX Light Switch and their budget minded lighting counterparts it is become increasingly common for a performer or group of performers to have an expensive looking lighting design with out the high cost those type of lighting design normally come with.
