Monorail Track Lighting For A Stylish Design
Monorail track lighting can sometimes be a bit confusing. This type of lighting system is plentiful on the market today, so if you spend just a bit of time examining the various types then you will see that it is not as difficult to understand as it may seem.
Monorail lighting offers an interesting and more flexible approach to standard track lighting. It can actually be bent by hand into the shape of your choice. This allows it to bend into some very creative designs.
Basic Components
There are four major components to a monorail track lighting system. They are low voltage systems so they will require a transformer. The two transformers that are generally used are either remote transformers or surface mounted transformers.
The difference between the two is that a remote transformer can be virtually unseen as long as it is installed within 12 feet of the actual monorail itself.
A small ceiling canopy and a power feed is how the monorail is powered. If the monorail is replacing an existing light in the ceiling then it is best to use a surface transformer instead.
How Much Wattage Your Transformer Needs
Before you can determine exactly how much wattage that your transformer has to be, you need to assess how much light you will require in the room. Most transformers are generally 150W, 300W and 600W. On the other hand, most fixtures require a 50W lamp, so with a 300W transformer you can power up to six fixtures with 50 watt bulbs.
If you want to use additional fixtures, you can use a lower wattage in your bulbs. It is completely acceptable to mix and match fixtures on the monorail system as long as you do not exceed the required amount of watts.
Lighting Systems That Offer a Lot of Leeway
This lighting configuration can be manipulated both horizontally as well as vertically so you could actually place the tracks across the ceiling and down the walls.
These are very fun lighting systems that offer a lot of leeway. The flexible connectors allow the monorails to be shaped with a nice clean edge. They are available in some designer finishes such as satin nickel, chrome, gold, and antique bronze.
Be Aware of Limitations
A limitation to installing lighting using monorail is their low voltage and the need for a separate transformer in order to switch standard power into a low voltage current.
Only a limited amount of wattage is carried through a monorail but you can use more than one transformer if you need to. The newer monorail systems offer a lot more power so it is wise to shop around before making your final purchase.
You should also remember that when you are working with monorail track lighting and you are attempting to manipulate or bend the monorail to your liking that you can only bend in a horizontal radius of one foot and vertically no more than a curvature of 30 degrees. If you attempt to bend beyond that point, the monorail will likely pop and break.
Monorail systems are the most flexible and versatile form of contemporary lighting which can meet the most stringent requirements.
Top Notch Audio for Wedding Video
The one thing that truly separates your wedding video from your photos is audio. Collecting great audio is the key to making a really great video. In fact, most people can forgive a bad shot or two, but having poor audio quality at key times can really ruin an otherwise memorable video moment.
Good equipment is the first step to great audio. The number one most valuable tool in the wedding videographer’s arsenal is a reliable wireless lavaliere microphone. The key word here is reliable. A microphone that works well ‘most of the time’ just won’t cut it. A UHF system is a minimum requirement, and a diversity system is recommended. Less expensive, non-diversity, units are prone to audio dropouts, which can leave the bride wondering why she couldn’t hear her vows. Be sure to note that UHF wireless mics operate on some of the same frequencies as Digital Television Stations. I simply downloaded a list of DTV frequencies in the Orlando area and enclosed it in my audio kit to make sure I don’t tune my mics to any of those frequencies.
Now that you have the equipment needed to give you a fighting chance to get great audio for your wedding videos, you have to know how to use it. Proper placement is important. The best position you’re a lav is on the groom’s lapel. The groom will be close enough to the officiant to pick up their audio (they usually speak loudly anyhow), and when the groom and bride face each other for the vows, the mic will be perfectly placed to pickup both the groom’s and bride’s audio. A wireless handheld microphone is ideal for guest testimonials at the reception. A wired mic will suffice, but at a crowded reception, a six foot cable can be a liability. Remember to, if possible, always record natural sound on the camera mic. Natural sound can be very useful music, guest speakers, or anything else coming through the venue’s PA system. Several wedding videos that I have shot have benefitted from me placing a second microphone near the church PA speaker so that I could clearly hear parts of the ceremony that occurred away from the main wireless mic on the groom.
With the right equipment and a little practice using it, you should never have to worry about getting great audio on your wedding video shoots.
