Event Lighting & How Lighting Can Transform Your Party
It is always possible to underestimate the role of lighting in a case. When done correctly, the way a space is absolutely transformed can be one of the most efficient methods. It will help create a lot greater mood than any amount of thematic props or table decorations.
Here are a few examples of how the multiple lighting should be used to build the wow factor that the participants deserve!
Up lightning lights may be used to cast colour splashes around an area. They can be used to illustrate the main characteristics of a room you like, while cleverly distracting the eyes from those which might not be so visually attractive. In this case the light uplights were used to look at the incredible architectural features of this amazing structure in the glorious room of the Natural History Museum.
Decor for Light Up
Lighting is becoming more and more common, particularly with light-up letters, as seen above. In this case, the letters offered the participants a great photo opportunity to document the experience and to be a true focal point on the exhibition floor. They deliver a comparatively cheap means of displaying your brand or main message which is also spread across all social media channels.
Lighting For Your Event
Event lighting doesn’t necessarily require light bulbs, lamps and unstable floor lights, which all come with wires you choose to mix into the background. There are now lots of ways to display the lighting’s fixtures and fittings! A few examples of lighting that needs to be central are fairy lamps, Edison light bulbs and neon icons and words. Here, the flickering fairy lights produce an almost surreal look and change what is only a bare, boring barn. This kind of lighting would be ideal for a wedding breakfast in combination with long trestle table tables, rustic flowers and the antique dressings.

Wireless Uplighting & Mood Lighting
Color has an immense effect on your mood and will quickly give your attendants the impression they want to share. Lighting will almost immediately change the colour of a room. As you can see in the photographs above, the orange environment works to close the room, warm it up and make it feel smaller and more intimate. In contrast, the cool blue colour options on the right side make it look bigger, opener, and even more clinical.
Developing an illumination strategy, think of where you want the main lighting points and which areas of atmosphere and lighting are of the utmost importance. You must realise where this is happening.
A visit to the site is advised in order to get an understanding of the scale of the location where light fixtures may need to be installed, what the site rules with respect to wall fixings or floors, and where the power points lie.
Event Lighting Tip : Understand what equipment you need
In general, most new lighting systems are LED, but some venues do have installed lighting systems. Your lighting kit consists of a variety of lighting equipment, including disco lights, uplighting lights and other equipment which transforms even the blandest party site in combination with a lighting designer.
Event Lighting: Spotlights & wedding pin spotting
Obviously, if you run conferences and seminars, the emphasis is on the stage, and it should be lit appropriately. Venues often have their own basic lighting systems, but in order to add a professional look and atmosphere to your event, ensure that all speakers are appropriately lit on stage with spots and that the audience space is darker and more ambient.
Make sure the plenary room is coloured in a way that does not impact presentations on the stage – Congo Blue is also an outstanding choice here. However, if they wish, you will have to adjust the lighting standard for the public to write notes.
Conference Stage Lighting
Use of the stage or colour
Wash lighting is used to flood a room with colour and illumination. It can be used on a stage to illuminate the area. It can also be used in an environment you wish to showcase if you have an exhibit room. Color cleansing will echo your colours or simply be a simple white light.
Lighting Event Tip for your event uplighters:
Uplights are earth-based lights that allow the illumination of certain characteristics such as banners or signs. Again, in various colour combos they can be very easily used to bring more excitement to a case.
Modern lights are operated by batteries, which eliminate cable or trip risk concerns. This ensures they will be used in environments which were not available or known to be hazardous for older wired fixtures for as long as this is secure.
Of course, you must still make sure both devices are put in a sensitive protected location, wireless or otherwise, as part of your schedule.
Lighting effects of Gobos
If at the next business function you just want to take advantage of lighting, think about the consequences that an audience may have.
Gobos are lights which can stream into your event area with your company logo or patterned designs. Gobos may either be static or mobile or fade in and out. You may use gobos to projecte light patterns to the ceiling to produce a surreal feeling inside a room if you are having an evening drinks event.
You may also literally take the logo and project it onto the venue walls, or the hashtag of the event. You can do this by using moving gobos if you want to make a light display.
Enjoy the colours of the lighting
You don’t have to be plain white for your lighting. It can easily represent your business and brand name. Color also enables you to build various areas inside the event room and it is nice to help visitors locate the location they need.
To welcome a friend to the ‘Green Zone’ for networking purposes is even better than to ask him to obey the signals. Create dramatic messages with a cued lighting that captures the attention of the public and gives them a sense of excitement.
Lighting Tip: Lighting from day to night
Colored lighting will really make a space feel like an environment. To set the mood for each event section, you use multiple coloured lights and colour washes and transition the illumination effects from day to night if the guests remain on for drinks and networking.
Event Lighting Tip: Lighting in event lighting & TV filming
If you capture or live stream the day’s case, it’s worth checking that the lighting people communicate with their lighting specifications for filming with videographers.
You would want to make sure you record the incident well and that no dark spots are noticed when you see the video. This will entail some modifications to the initial design to ensure that the specifications are fulfilled as well.
Smart lighting
If you use an adaptive lighting system to change the lighting accordingly, all the event lighting will be preprogrammed. It allows the lighting to easily adjust during the case, allowing the day to flow smoothly.
Lighting Tip Event: Use light and sound
It is very easy to connect the sound and light systems together so that they can ‘speak’ to one another if you schedule an experiential experience, and choose to do a little bit more.
For instance, you can capture, process and output a basic hashtag tweeted by someone at an event in the form of a siren or you can use a sound alarm to begin playing the video.
You should also use music associated with the lighting by changing the lighting from white to green. The versatility to allow these structures to speak to each other will lead to any event being engaging and forward-looking.
Project mapping Event Lighting Tip
A more and more interesting idea is projection mapping with a truly modern feel, to get the event to the next level.
In other words, take a simple 3D model and project live animation and gestures onto the top, bring it to life and add the wow factor to a launch or presentation.
Projection mapping of things like vehicles where you can deploy a new electric car, or something similar, is increasingly common. The specification is the true secret to projection visualisation.
The time required to prepare and draw up the map would contribute to unbelievable results. Know that you must get the majority of the lighting in the first place to make the full use of projection visualisation.
The lighting of events is a major part of the location
Good event lighting can be set up to any budget – consider first, speak to the location and get guidance from an event manager and lighting designer. Share the thoughts with a specialist and you can discover that your visitors will be delighted with even the simplest lighting solutions, if they do well.
