Choose your illumination
Each illumination option has its strengths and limitations. This site compares different types of cinema illumination – if you want to know more about a specific type of light source, you’ll find all the information you need here.
Xenon
Xenon lamp projection holds an unequivocal place within the cinema industry as the key that unlocked modern cinema. With recent advances in cinema projectors, it now retains its spot as a reliable, familiar option with a relatively low entry cost.
RB laser phosphor
RB laser phosphor cinema illumination uses laser light sources in combination with a spinning phosphor component to create the white light required for cinemas. Currently, there are three types of hybrid laser: blue-only, RB (red and blue), and RGB (red, green, and blue). Each uses a laser phosphor wheel to generate balanced white light.
RGB pure laser
RGB pure laser uses dedicated red, green, and blue lasers to deliver greater brightness, richer color, improved efficiency, and more accurate visual representation. As the industry continues to innovate, RGB pure laser has emerged as the definitive future of cinema illumination.
