Wired/Wireless Up-lights For Events

Uplights Rental: Wired Or Wireless

Up-lighting is one of the biggest trends for special events to set the mood or completely transform a venue. Uplights are essentially small lighting units which are placed along the floor around the venue and illuminate the walls from floor to ceiling with colored light. This savvy visual technique is great at setting a specific tone for various types of events.

The question is, how do you decide how many uplights your event should have?

The good news is that it’s actually pretty easy to determine the number of uplights required for your event to get the ideal effect you’re going for.

 

Think about the big picture of the space.

Every space is unique.

Take in account for various features to determine precisely what is required.

Easiest way is to take photos of the space and look for specific things, for example:

 

Columns
Small columns or those that are against a wall need one uplight each, while larger columns will need at least 2-4 lights.

Alcoves 
These abnormalities need more lights to make the space feel balanced.
