In the Dark? Turn on New Lighting Trends this Season

This season, event lighting has taken on a whole new dimension. It’s no longer just about illumination. Now it’s about mood and movement, ambiance and sparkle, dazzle and drama!

Seeing things in a new light

User controlled LED lighting. Instantly transform the look and feel of an event with systems that allow you make changes instantly via remote, from bright yellow light to subdued blue, earthy green to bold red.

Spotlights. Spotlights might not seem new, but how you use them can make everything different. If you’ve got a small space, placing accent spotlights in the corners can give the illusion of space.

String lights. Multi-colored or all white, string lights add a magical sparkle or soft glow to any event.

Landscape laser light projectors. These provide a string light effect without all those messy cords. Create static or moving points of light for a dynamic effect.

Classic bright spots

Marquee lights. Whether you use flashing or chasing lights, since the days of old Hollywood, nothing lends excitement to an event like marquee lights.

Café lights. Fitted with globe bulbs, these lights lend an charming European flair to a meeting or event space.
