light shows

Concert visual displays

Light shows are visual spectacles using colored lights, lasers, projections, or LEDs synchronized to music or movement.

They range from concert productions with elaborate stage lighting to laser displays at planetariums to the coordinated LED effects at electronic music festivals.

The light show was the best part of the concert.

Christmas displays and fireworks are sometimes called light shows, as are natural phenomena like the aurora borealis.
