Pbassred Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Something that has no real purpose other than to look good. Do you mean that the lights themselves look spectacular rather than the effect that they create? Its used in descussions about LEDs so I guess that:- pointed at the audience make it "eyecandy" but pointed at the band makes it a colour wash (for example)?

dunk_1984 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yes... That would be how I see it, like in this picture, the LED and colour changing abilities make it look better, there is no need for it to be LED or change colour, but because it does it makes it look better or "eye candy" http://sxsevents.co.uk/images/music-awards1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modge Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Indeed, for me LED's as eye candy means primarily there as visible sources, any backlight effects they having being secondary (often with "real" back light coming from high up out of site anyway). Could probably say the same about disco fixture behind pub bands. I would say that things like beams in haze, whilst definitely "an effect" rather than lighting where a slightly different thing.

Just Some Bloke Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Do you mean that the lights themselves look spectacular rather than the effect that they create?No. It's the effects that look good, but they are not lighting the people or enhancing the mood - merely doing pretty things. The same effects could run along with pretty much any show rather than having been created specifically to be perfect in context. The "eye" looks at them and says "nice effect" even if it was an empty stage with nothing happening on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I hate the term. It's all lighting to me. But I might define it as a light which does not have a primary or intentional function of illuminating something or someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
