Debate
- Not all the light fixtures that have movement can be defined as intelligent. Basic club lighting is not controllable other than basic on and off. This lack of features makes them just a small step above a conventional Stage lighting instrument.
- Moving mirrors are faster than moving head fixtures. However moving heads are visually more interesting, and have a far larger range of movement. The movement from mirror lights tends to be rectilinear, because the centre of movement for both axis is usually in the same place, while one axis of a moving head luminaire describes a circle (usually called "pan") and the other (the "tilt") changes the diameter of the circular movement. In early luminaires a pseudo rotating gobo effect could be achieved by moving the tilt in line with the other axis and then moving the pan from end stop to end stop.

Famous quotes containing the word debate:
“Abject flattery and indiscriminate assentation degrade, as much as indiscriminate contradiction and noisy debate disgust. But a modest assertion of one’s own opinion, and a complaisant acquiescence in other people’s, preserve dignity.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Like man and wife who nightly keep
Inconsequent debate in sleep
As they dream side by side.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“A great deal of unnecessary worry is indulged in by theatregoers trying to understand what Bernard Shaw means. They are not satisfied to listen to a pleasantly written scene in which three or four clever people say clever things, but they need to purse their lips and scowl a little and debate as to whether Shaw meant the lines to be an attack on monogamy as an institution or a plea for manual training in the public school system.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
