UpLighting At Your Event

The new trend in lighting is to not just fly lights on an overhead truss or T-bar system.  This is what you'd see at most concerts or clubs.  With our upscale events, we've been doing what we call up-lighting.  Instead of lights that just beam down on the dance floor, we can spread our lights out more evenly throughout the room and cast color and interest throughout the room.  We can paint the ceiling with moving colors and shapes, project gobo/images onto walls and ceilings and splash color on pillars and recessed ceilings.  The room takes on a completely different feel.   (READ MORE)
