Moving Head Bars with Auxiliary LEDs: Main Beams and Secondary Effects Explained
Auxiliary LEDs are additional emitters that create a secondary visual layer alongside a moving head bar’s main beam or wash heads. Depending on the design, they can add white accents, warm-and-cool white contrast, amber texture or colored patterns. Their usefulness depends on the optical layout and the control available in the selected DMX mode. Main-head count and wattage describe only part of the fixture: they do not tell you the auxiliary colors, grouping or output. For stage-lighting selection, compare the main optics and auxiliary layer separately, then assess how they work together in the cues your production needs.
