Foldable light diffusion box with frame assembly

A lighting device for lighting by front projection lighting a stage or set, the lighting device comprising:

• a housing having multiple adjacent sides and a front;
• a frame for mounting the housing and comprising lamp holding means for supporting multiple par lamps;
• at least two diffusion element holders mounted in the housing spaced from one another and proximate the front of the housing and in front of the lamp holding means;
• and
• multiple par lamps mounted in the lamp holding means to shine light through the diffusion element holders, whereby the multiple par lamps provide soft projected diffused light from the lighting device for lighting a stage or set when diffusion elements are provided in the diffusion element holders.

A method of lighting a stage or set using at least one lighting device, wherein the lighting device comprises a housing a contiguous closed portion and a front, and means for mounting at least four par lamps, the method comprising the steps of:

• (i) providing a diffusion frame with a diffusion element proximate the front of the housing;
• (ii) providing a frame for holding the at least four par lamps therein and for supporting the housing;
• (iii) positioning the frame with the at least four par lamps proximate a rear of the housing directed towards the diffusion element at the front of the housing, with the housing being enclosed at least from the par lamps to the diffusion element;
• (iv) diffusing light from each of the at least four par lamps using the diffusion element;
• and
• (v) using the diffused light exiting the diffusion element to illuminate at least part of a stage or set.

A lighting device for directing and controlling light from at least four nonfocusable par lamps, the lighting device comprising:

• a housing having four sides, a front and a back;
• at least four par lamps;
• a rigid member for mounting the par lamps in the housing, and for mounting the housing;
• primary means for diffusing light from the multiple par lamps, the primary means for diffusing disposed proximate the front of the housing for forming a soft, projected and diffused light from the par lamps when disposed in the housing and directed at the primary means for diffusing.
