Patent ID: 7253942

Claim:
A stage lighting system comprising a plurality of stage lighting apparatuses each stage lighting apparatus comprising; a microprocessor; a memory; a first communications port; a base housing; and a lamp housing; wherein the lamp housing can be remotely positioned in relation to the base housing by a motor; wherein the lamp housing is comprised of a projection lens and a first light valve; wherein the plurality of stage lighting apparatuses include a first and a second stage lighting apparatus; wherein the first and the second stage lighting apparatuses project a first and a second light, respectively, onto a projection surface and wherein a combination of the first and the second projected light form an overlapped area onto the projection surface; wherein the first and the second projected light have first and second light intensities, respectively; wherein the overlapped area has a substantially increased light intensity in comparison with the first or second light intensity; wherein the first stage lighting apparatus stores data for a first corrected light having a first corrected light projection image in the memory of the first stage lighting apparatus; and wherein the first stage lighting apparatus projects the first corrected light; and wherein substantially only the overlapped area formed by the projected first corrected light and second projected light has it's intensity reduced to improve the light uniformity created by the combination of the light projected by the first and second stage lighting apparatuses.
