ABSTRACT
Throughout the history of automated lighting, one undeniable trend has held true: year after year, automated lighting has become smaller, lighter, more effi cient, and lower in cost. That’s not to say there aren’t bigger, heavier, and more expensive automated lights on the market, because there are. A 1200-watt luminaire is still bigger than a 575-watt light, and there are automated lights available with light sources up to 7K watts and higher. But if you consider the volume-to-output ratio, the weight-to-output ratio, the wattage-to-output ratio, and the cost-to-output ratio, then the trends become clear.
