An Uplighting Guide for your Event
Uplighting can dramatically change an atmosphere. You can transform an average room into perfection in virtually seconds. Uplighting is way more cost-effective than any kind of draping or camouflage system that you can think of.
Renting up lights is preferable; you don’t have to worry about setting them up, tearing them down, or trying to store or sell them afterward.
The most popular question that we get from clients is “How many lights do I need”? The more lights you have and the closer they are together, the stronger the color effect will be. Each light will illuminate approximately 3-4 feet of wall space.
Simple Uplighting Guide
50 sq. ft ~ 10 Uplights
75 sq. ft ~ 17 Uplights
100 sq. ft ~ 20 Uplights
Questions to Ask:
Do you want a color wash on everything in the space?
If not, how many accent tables or areas do you want? -(Possibly just the head table and cake table for example)
How big is the area that you want lit?
What colors would look good with your color scheme?
