[1] Striplights are one of the most basic types of lighting fixtures available.
A single striplight is usually wired internally into either three or four circuits.
Each internal circuit consists of several lamps evenly spaced within the unit.
Striplights are often used to color a cyclorama, or can alternately be positioned behind the proscenium arch to provide a general overhead color wash. Often, in older and low budget venues such as churches and schools, striplights are the primary lighting source.
These units can deliver a similar light output with reduced power consumption.
