Things To Consider When Renting Lights For Your Event

Industrial & Manufacturing Blog

When you plan any type of event, one of the elements most often overlooked is event lighting. The lighting you choose can have a dramatic effect on the atmosphere, tone, and guest experience at your event. That's why it's important to give careful consideration to the lighting equipment rental for your event. Here are some of the things that you need to know.

Consider Different Lighting Effects

When you invest in lighting rentals, it gives you the opportunity to incorporate a variety of lighting effects. Discuss your options for color washes if you need coloring as part of your lighting choreography. You should also consider the roles of uplighting and downlighting for your event so that you get the infrastructure that you need.

Assess Lighting Contributions To Emotion

Remember that different lighting techniques, colors, and styles can evoke desired emotions at any event. Warmer colors, rich tones, and golden lights can help foster a more intimate environment while vibrant, bright, bold colors will bring energy and excitement to the event.

Incorporate The Theme

You'll want to choose a lighting structure that fits your event's theme. The lights used for a formal event will differ from those of a concert or an elegant wedding, for example. Talk with your lighting rental company about the options and your intentions to ensure that you get lighting that matches your theme.

In most cases, ideal lighting will blend well with your decor and stage design. Use the lighting to accentuate your event features, draw the eye to focal points, and encourage activities or energy. The psychology of event lighting helps you get the effect you need.

Plan Your Lighting Transitions

Stagnant lighting creates little engagement or flow for your event. Make sure you discuss your options for transitions and changes throughout the event, especially if there are several phases and different elements, such as a silent auction prior to an award ceremony. Lighting needs will vary with these types of events, so plan for the transitions you need and any extra lighting that requires.

The more you understand about how your lighting affects your event, the easier it is to get the lights and dramatic effects you need. Your lighting equipment supplier can help you find proper equipment, coloring features, control systems, and choreography to help keep your guests engaged and entertained. Embrace your event theme by planning out lighting that matches the energy and plans.

Your Guide To Industrial and Manufacturing Operations

Hi, my name is David Dotson and the purpose of this blog is to educate others about the manufacturing process. For as long as I can remember, I've always been amazed by how different things are made. It fascinates me to think about the process of taking raw materials and turning them into something useful during fabrication. When I have spare time, I can be found reading about various types of manufacturing and industrial plants to learn how they operate. I wanted to write a blog about my findings so that others could also learn how raw goods are transformed every day into useable products.
