The Best Types of Uplighting for Your Special Event

One of the most significant aspects while decorating the venue is choosing the lights.

You can find multiple kinds of lights on the market but you will notice that every kind of light generates different mood and feelings.

One of the most popular types of light is the “uplighting”. What is it, you may wonder?  Continue to read to find that out.

What Is Uplighting?

Uplights are a wonderful lightening effect, generally used for weddings, corporate events, concerts, parties, bars etc. They are strategically placed on the floors of the venue, pointing upwards.

Uplights are also set against the walls. In this way, the color coming off from the lights paint the wall in an attractive hue. They are an amazing way to enhance the beauty of the space instantly.

Types of Uplights

There are three kinds of uplighting, each one of them differs in their prices and effects.

It is important that you know the differences between them. Only then, you can decide which one of them would be ideal for your event.

1.     Uplighting with Bulbs and Colored Gels

This the most traditional kind of uplight, consisting of hot bulbs in a metal can. It is generally known as the “old-school” uplight or incandescent light.

The colored gel of the bulb helps to filter out the color of your choice. You can go for single or multicolor bulbs and spruce up the entire place in no time.

The lights also happen to give a beautiful touch of color to your decoration items, making them appear supremely attractive. If you are looking for affordable uplights, you should go with incandescent lights.

2.     Wired LED Uplighting

Unlike traditional uplights, the LED uplights fall into the category of the newer version of uplights. One of the reasons why you should go for LED uplights and not with other kinds of uplights is because these bulbs stay cool for a longer period of time.

Other types of LED lights may get hot after a while but the wired LED uplights stay the same. Since they consume less heat, they consume less power too.

You can change the color of your LED lights even during the middle of your event. For instance, if you want to change the lights with the theme of your event, you can easily do that with the wired LED uplight.

3.     Wireless LED Uplighting

This is the newest and the most exciting version of LED uplights. These uplights work by battery and remote control. This is why you wouldn’t need to worry about wires getting in your or guests’ way.

Although these uplights are costly, they are worth the investment. You can change the color on a fly. For instance, you can have white lights at the start of the event then change them to yellow during dinner time.
