Church Lighting Design and Best Practices | 4-Steps to Pro Lighting

[@dbackscott]

Great information. We’re dealing with a sanctuary building with tons of natural light. We have front lighting, but it’s too weak and poorly set up, and it gets washed out by the natural daylight. We also have about zero money.

[@benjamin.kelley]

Scott, are you attending my church? Haha we're in the same boat!

[@dbackscott]

@@benjamin.kelley my church is so small, trust me, you’d know if we were going to the same church.

[@heilabang1044]

Same, thank God for increase in all of our churches

[@Angzarrr]

Our building also has a ton of backlight.

[@user-uh5pd2ex5k]

So what is the solution? How it was fixed?

[@russellhill1981]

Any tips for a space that has 10' ceilings and is only about 35 feet from the stage?

[@lorgerdat]

How do you light a stage without any stage lighting mounts? Seems like for most lighting you need a full lighting frame to mount all the lights you need which is not something small churches who rent spaces can achieve.

[@dougkruzan1120]

Could you give us a list of fixtures you are currently using?

[@OscarThatWorshipGuy]

Was really looking forward to this ! Good stuff! Our team is going to love it.

[@jfdoser]

Great stuff man! I am an old audio guy and I am helping a friend build an outdoor venue. Your videos are filling in some holes.

[@ArnabGupta-w2i]

I am interested to join your workshop for light design course.kindly properly guide me.i am from Asia.

[@aristotle_4532]

This is useful for satanists also, but we use more kick and we lower it until it becomes s backlight and very little front lighting from a very low height. We lower both these lights. Sometimes we just use side lighting from both sides if there will be dancing.

[@samuelearu]

Very informative thank you. Just one question. Can you add some links with the info of the different lights you have mentioned?

[@benjamin.kelley]

How do you get someone to realize the lighting sucks, when sucky lighting is all they know?

[@joshuapoe]

Bring in some lights and show before and after

[@cchua889]

Hi Jake... just out of curiosity, are you a lighting designer by practice? I'm actually from the architectural lighting industry and a believer as well and chance upon this video and it intrigues me so much. Love all the familiar technical terms for lighting theory and putting them into church lighting concept.

[@Churchfront]

I’m not but I have a lot of friends who have taught me the lingo!

[@TheTechOga]

Thanks Jake for this video, it's very insightful and straightforward, my team mates in Church would love this amd work with it.

[@luiswicho5301]

Very useful. It will help me a lot to enhance the lights in my church. Need to work out first in 1-2 steps.. Thank you and God bless u.

[@marcsee4072]

Yeah its all about presentation and marketing. I thought Jesus does not need this. Perhaps all the production stands in a way of God.

[@quintonburton9205]

I hear ya. I do enjoy lights and tech but I can’t help wonder how many starving children could we feed if all of our church’s took our lighting money and gave it to the poor. After all isn’t that our mandate?

[@victortavarez11]

What color temperature are the lights you’re using in the church?

[@richardbyrd3875]

I agree this is great information. These concepts are very crucial to provide to anyone who is starting out in this ministry. I am taking notes.

[@NormanGillaspie]

Just turn the lights on and leave them on. Church is not a concert or movie theater!!

[@ericdozi]

Good job, and how about the height of the lights? Blessings

[@irapture9809]

For the hair/kick, what kind of fixture are you using?

[@j.y-bae9222]

Hi, possible can assist or comment on our current church ? Can drop a contact method

[@danielshinyaev2559]

how do you control the light key without wires?

[@aaron_phillips]

One of our biggest challenges right now is that when we front light out pastor, the light hits the back wall which is undesired. I believe our lights are at a 45 to where the pastors head is, but it's still hitting the back wall. Any tips on this? Should we do a more downward angle and move them closer? Or is it simply that our stage is too shallow? We're working with about 15 feet deep and 40 feet wide.

[@beaurichards6146]

Did you ever solve this issue?

[@wellspringsofjoy-ctm]

Thank you so much this helped a lot!!!! You saved my life

[@WorldWorshipCentreMinistries]

GREAT EXPLANATION AND AWESOME IN DEPTH THEORY FOR MOST COMPLICATED.

[@cmnhl1329]

Creative = Dopamine hit Worship God in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. It isn’t in the physicality or the aesthetics. The theology is way off…

[@andreaskurn]

Thank you for the explanations! I have a question. My local church building is 8 meters wide. Are two key lights enough? Each of them is a Fresnel COB 200 watts. Can someone with knowledge please answer me?

[@niceguyrides]

Any recommendations for blackout shades? I have 16’ windows.

[@Dondeez]

Thanks for sharing....this was really good. I am a pastor and I'm setting things up for livestreaming right now. This was really helpful.

[@alexlynpi]

Please make a video how all the displays are connected throught the church(at a budget). Not mirrored but extended. Mac apparently supports only 2 monitors

[@Gnanasingh-tn]

Thank you for wonderful details for Church lighting.

[@damilareolayiwola2447]

Thank you ❤

[@davidleungaxiom3491]

Great video. It is very helpful. Expected to see another video on what spec/ type for. 50 feet ceiling stage

[@carbonarrow7]

When the stage area is all black and do have 4 current spots above at around 15' height and about 8' back from the front of the stage and pointing to the front area of the stage, there is still problems with most camera's having a focus issue from say 15 to 40 plus feet back from the front of the stage, The problem is the depth of field to focus on the pastor and the back projector screen which around 15 to 20 ft behind. It's either focused on the person and the screen is out of focus or visa-versa for live streaming due to the camera issues for depth of field.

[@tunbosunpeterson81]

Hi Jake. Thank you for sharing these info. They are really helpful.

[@djoliva1438]

[@kpogbanogaga3589]

Thanks for sharing, please I have a question what temperature do you use for your front light

[@phamtiendat3602]

What is the church lighting device you are using? Can you answer ? Thanks

[@donzpressplay]

One thing people talking about light gon do is wear is hat 😂. Solid info though

[@JoeSalmi]

I'm sure this is in this video somewhere but How are you controlling all of the lights? Also what is on the other end of the lights that is allowing you to control them?

[@Bouray1]

Lots of good information. I am wondering is the degree of light angle based a certain area? Like their feet or head or some place on the stage?

[@bienangelogonzales8541]

I started making soft recently, I was wondering if you wanna do any features.

[@adambehr6919]

Thanks Jake .... what Key/Kick lights do you guys specifically use at church?

[@justinechristianveza5615]

[@IdeleIdi-uz7ev]

Thank you for this

[@willhammer8665]

Church has become club

[@alkitabsatumenit]

Thank you

[@simonkristofferteodosio4185]

What about putting front washlight if our ceiling is just 8ft?

[@pkt1213]

That is what I am thinking about too. We have a 10' ceiling I think (I should know since I rebuilt our AV closet). The room is wide but shallow so our stage is also wide and shallow. I want to say 8' deep stage. I have a tape in the car to measure tomorrow.

[@llibressal]

I think at that height it's probably time to look at Sky Panels , Astera panels or some other panel type leds.

[@ayudakov]

Thank you!

[@allenw5255]

Thank you

[@kabileshr6328]

Dive in!!

[@DoubleplusUngoodthinkful]

I am Catholic, but I've been in the churches and temples of many denominations and faiths and have never had trouble seeing the priest/minister/rabbi, monk etc. It seems to me that if you're worried about "professional lighting", your concern is anywhere but with the actual worship.

[@Reali_T_Check]

Your analyzing the SCIENCE of light, yet saying 'God' created it. I think you're very confused.

[@prisual]

Good information!
