HOW TO USE LIGHTING AT YOUR EVENT

Dec 23 , 2021

Lighting can bring a sparkly to experience to your event or ruin it. If the lighting is too bright at your event, it may seem stark and cold. If your lighting is too dark the guests may miss important elements of your event and design. Well placed lighting can create an atmosphere at your event. Great lighting will allow you to give more impact to other items such as floral arrangements and other decoration. You can also use lighting to direct the guests' attention and hold their interest strongly on other individual items within the main event.

UPLIGHTING AT YOUR EVENT

Uplighting is a great way to exaggerate an atmosphere at your event. Rooms can look bland if you do not use perimeter lighting. This is especially important for a simple more basic venue such as an empty ballroom, gallery, or conference center which will tend to be bland if you don't add in lighting and color. These venues do not have a lot of character you will need to build ambience with more lighting and decor. It’s a great way to tie in a color that goes with your theme and create a wow factor upon guests entering the room.

USING GOBO’S 

Gobo is a great way to add an element of design and depth to your event. Simply stated a gobo is a beam of light with a metal stencil over it that creates a pattern. Gobo light can project any designs or patterns including abstract shapes, patterns, pictures, and company logos. You can also project Gobo’s onto ceilings, floors, and walls from a distance, they are a great way to add visual interest.

While Gobo lights are great for transforming your event by giving it a dynamic atmosphere and feel, they can be used to promote your brand and seeing your brand logo in a bright crisp light will create a visual impact that surely will not be unnoticed.

The Instagobo gobo projector has a rotating and non-rotating design. The rotating light not only grabs the guest’s attention. There is also a phantom projection for indoor and outdoor use. The Phantom projector can also be applied to landscape lighting for trees, it can also apply indoor art lighting, etc.

Gobos can go almost anywhere and are highly flexible, work perfectly with many types of events from conventions, to galas and even weddings. Below is a photo from a corporate event we did recently where we projected a company logo onto a venue wall.

CREATE A LIGHT SHOW

A light show is a really fun way to grab your guest’s attention. Lighting shows often are combination of the two above mentioned lighting techniques. However, unlike the first two lighting options these lights can be constantly moving and flashing as a lighting engineer can design and customize a show specifically for your event.

Lighting shows are often used at corporate events before award ceremonies or speeches to quieten down the crowd and build excitement for the main event. We also use them to create an amazing dance vibe at galas and high energy concerts. Lighting shows make a very memorable experience and keep the energy of event high!
