The Impact of Color.
Perhaps the single best way to attract attention to an area of an
exhibit is through the use of colored lighting. Think of a recent
trip to the theater. When you look up at the large “can”
projector lights, you see colored gels to deliver lighting effects
on stage. Well, the exhibit is your stage, so why not use some color
to attract some attention where you need it?
Industry statistics show that an exhibitor has approximately
7 seconds to attract the attention of an attendee as he or she passes
by a booth. This can be done through unique design, captivating
graphics, lighting, booth personnel and the use of color. Why not
combine the use of lighting and color to capture your next customer’s
attention?
Color effects can be achieved through the use of a
colored lens or filter. This is referred to as static colorand the
single color selected is what you get for a constant effect. Other
products incorporate the use of color wheels that operate on a motor.
Color wheels cycle through a pre-selected assortment of colors,
delivering changing color effects to an illuminated area. This changing
color creates visual illusions and captures the attention of the
attendee passing by.
Programmable colored lightingoffers the most dynamic
impact. Here, lighting programs are stored and played to deliver
the exact color demanded by an exhibitor, projecting a program assured
to attract anyone’s attention.
Remember, lighting has a significant impact on the
outcome of your trade shows. Select a vendor that will work with
your exhibit designs to deliver the impact that you need to stand
out in the crowd. Without quality lighting you will be left in the
dark as your potential customers pass by on the way to your competitors.
