Canto

The Canto LED Followspot is a powerful and versatile lighting instrument. Its 75W white LED provides a sharp and hard-edged beam for following subjects. It has a mechanical iris and shutters for manual framing, plus a single gobo slot to use with the included gobos or your own custom patterns. It also features onboard DMX control, and is fan-cooled for silent operation.

One of the most popular uses of a followspot is to highlight a specific performer or presenter in a performance. It’s also useful for illuminating scenery and other props, especially when the set is moving. The follow spot’s operator can control the iris and color (through the use of gels) as well as pan and tilt.

In addition to the standard controls, most large modern followspots use an intense type of lamp known as a discharge lamp. This type of lamp is non-dimmable, so the operators have to open a dowser to shut off the light when following someone. They can control the intensity and edge of the light by adjusting the lenses, but this is not easily done during a run of a show.
