SHADOW-400M 400W LED Follow Spot Light for Wedding/Theater Event

SHADOW-400M 400W LED Follow Spot Light for Weddings & Theatre UAE

The SHADOW-400M 400W LED Follow Spot Light is a professional tracking spotlight built for weddings, theatre productions, concerts and large event stages. Its 400W LED source delivers a focused 3°–15° adjustable beam over approximately 40–50 metres, with six colour positions and DMX512 control for flexible performer and presentation lighting.

Technical Specifications

400W LED Output for Long-Throw Performer Tracking

A follow spot has one specific job: keep visual attention on the person or moment that matters.

The SHADOW-400M uses a 400W LED source to produce a concentrated spotlight for performers, speakers, wedding entrances and other focal points that need to remain clearly separated from the surrounding stage lighting.

Its documented projection range of approximately 40–50 metres makes it particularly useful where the operator must work from the rear or side of a ballroom, theatre or auditorium rather than close to the stage.

This gives production teams more freedom when planning the follow-spot position without placing the operator directly beside the performance area.

Adjustable 3°–15° Beam for Different Stage Moments

The 3°–15° adjustable beam angle allows the same fixture to handle both tight and broader tracking requirements.

At the narrow end, the spotlight can isolate:

• A bride or groom during an entrance

• A solo performer

• A keynote speaker

• An award recipient

• An actor during a focused scene

Opening the beam allows the operator to cover a wider subject or performance area.

This flexibility is particularly useful for weddings and theatre productions because the required spot size can change during the same programme. A narrow beam may be required for an entrance, while a wider spot can better accommodate two performers or a moving presentation.

40–50 Metre Projection Distance

Follow spots are often positioned considerably farther from the subject than conventional stage fixtures.

The SHADOW-400M has a specified 40–50 m cast distance, making it appropriate for medium-to-large indoor venues where the operator may be located behind the audience or on an elevated technical platform.

Typical environments include:

• Hotel ballrooms

• Theatre auditoriums

• Concert venues

• School auditoriums

• Conference halls

• Wedding venues

• Large multipurpose halls

Actual visual performance will also depend on ambient lighting, projection distance, beam size and the brightness of surrounding LED screens or stage fixtures.

Five Colours Plus White

The integrated colour system provides five colours plus white, allowing the operator to change the visual character of the spotlight without installing separate external filters during the production.

White can be used when natural performer visibility is the priority, while the additional colours can support theatrical scenes, entertainment segments and event themes.

A rainbow-effect function provides another option for more dynamic show moments.

For wedding and corporate productions, colour selection can also help the follow spot integrate with the rest of the stage-lighting palette instead of appearing disconnected from the overall design.

Electronic Controls and DMX512 Integration

The SHADOW-400M supports both electronic push-button operation and DMX512 control.

Local controls are useful when the fixture is operated as a dedicated standalone follow spot.

DMX512 provides an integration option for productions where selected functions need to work alongside the wider lighting system.

This allows the spotlight to fit more naturally into professional rigs that may also contain:

• Beam moving heads

• Wash lights

• LED PAR fixtures

• Strobes

• Effect lights

• Stage controllers

For larger events, DMX integration helps the lighting department coordinate the follow spot with other programmed stage cues.

Compact 10.5KG Fixture for Production Crews

Despite its 400W LED source and long-throw application, the fixture itself weighs approximately 10.5 kg.

Its dimensions are approximately 605 × 245 × 225 mm, creating a comparatively manageable body for transportation between events.

This matters for rental companies and production crews that regularly move equipment between warehouses, hotels, theatres and temporary venues.

A customisable wheeled flight-case option is also available for applications where the fixture will be transported frequently.

Fan Cooling for Extended Event Operation

Follow spots may remain powered throughout long ceremonies, theatre performances and concert programmes.

The SHADOW-400M uses a convection cooling fan and optimised internal airflow to move heat away from the LED source and electronics during operation.

Good airflow remains important during installation.

The fixture should not be positioned where curtains, décor, cases or other equipment can block the ventilation areas. Dust should also be removed periodically, particularly when the light is used frequently in event and rental environments.

Designed for Wedding Follow-Spot Lighting

Wedding productions are one of the strongest applications for this fixture.

The operator can use the follow spot to maintain visual focus during key moments such as:

• Bride and groom entrances

• First dances

• Stage reveals

• Couple introductions

• Cake-cutting moments

• Live performances

• Special presentations

The adjustable beam is particularly useful because the subject size and distance may change several times during a wedding programme.

Rather than increasing the brightness of the complete stage, a dedicated follow spot lets the lighting team direct attention precisely where it is needed.

Built for Theatre and Live Performance Tracking

Theatre lighting requires a different workflow from automated moving heads.

An actor does not always remain on a programmed mark. A live follow-spot operator can respond to actual performer movement and maintain visual emphasis throughout a scene.

The 3°–15° optical range and 40–50 m projection capability make the SHADOW-400M useful for theatres and auditoriums where the tracking position is located away from the stage.

It can also support:

• Musicals

• School productions

• Concert soloists

• Awards ceremonies

• Conferences

• Live entertainment shows

How Far Can the SHADOW-400M Follow Spot Project?

The specified cast distance is approximately 40–50 metres.

That range makes it suitable for applications where the operator is positioned at the back or side of a theatre, ballroom or event hall.

What Is the Beam Angle of the 400W Follow Spot?

The beam can be adjusted between approximately 3° and 15°.

A narrower setting creates a tighter spot for individual performers, while a wider setting can accommodate larger subjects or different stage compositions.

Does the SHADOW-400M Support DMX512?

Yes. The fixture supports DMX512 as well as electronic push-button control.

This allows it to operate independently or integrate with a professional stage-lighting control system.

How Many Colours Does the Follow Spot Have?

The optical system provides five colours plus white, together with a rainbow-effect function.

This gives operators additional creative options beyond a standard white follow spot.

Does the SHADOW-400M Work on UAE Power?

Yes. Its specified input range is AC100–240V, 50/60Hz, which covers the UAE's standard 220–240V / 50Hz electrical supply.

The exact plug fitted to Stagify inventory should be verified before publication.

Is This Follow Spot Suitable for Weddings?

Yes. Its long throw, adjustable spot size and operator-controlled tracking make it particularly useful for wedding entrances, first dances, stage reveals and live entertainment in hotel ballrooms and event venues.

A dedicated operator is recommended when accurate live subject tracking is required.

Follow Spot Installation & Operating Safety

The fixture should be installed on a stable professional stand or mounting system appropriate for its 10.5 kg weight and operational movement.

Keep ventilation openings clear during operation and allow the fixture to cool before maintenance.

Power and signal cables should be routed so they do not interfere with the operator or create a trip hazard around the follow-spot position.

Because the operator may need to track performers continuously, the fixture should be positioned where there is an unobstructed view of the required stage area.

For elevated technical positions, platforms and mounting arrangements should meet the venue's applicable safety requirements.
