Precautions for selecting surface lighting for stage lighting:

1. LED flat soft lighting: it is divided into embedded and hanging type, which is the most common surface lighting in conference rooms, multi-function halls and studios. The large area matrix emits light, and the light effect distance is about 4 meters, so it is very suitable for the stage with a ceiling height of about 4 meters.

2. COB flat lamp: The color rendering index is relatively high, and the color reproduction effect is strong, and the color temperature can be adjusted from 3 K to 6 K. However, due to the large astigmatism angle, the most commonly used lamps in indoor and outdoor small stage have a light efficiency of about 8 meters, but they are small and light, so they are very popular with this small stage.

3. LED lamp: it can be used not only for dyeing, but also as surface light. The most commonly used lamps in indoor and outdoor small stage have a light efficiency of about 12 meters. Because of their small size, light weight and low price, they are also very popular with this small stage.
