When it comes to outdoor event lighting, there is no one-size-fits-all. Every event requires different event lighting rentals. Tower lights flood an area with lights. Up-lighting provides a more formal and fun tent atmosphere while strategic lighting highlights décor. Paper lanterns can pull elements of a theme together and give it a more whimsical feel. Chandeliers complete a formal atmosphere. These event lights are only the start of possibilities for event lighting. Plus, event lights can be combined to create a new and one-of-kind event atmosphere.
The type of lighting is not the only factor in event lighting success. The amount of lighting is another critical factor; the right event lighting is not too dim or too bright and illuminates all the right event elements (or projects them onto a surface for added interest!)
The last element of coordinating lighting for an outdoor event is the power source. Some outdoor venues, even with outlets, may not have an electrical system that can support substantial event lights or numerous individual units. (Consult with local rental professionals who can assess event needs and provide the right event lighting.)
Tower Lights
Tower lights provide a large amount of overhead event lighting without any overhead lines. These lights can illuminate a sports field or any large outdoor space.
Up-lighting
Up-lighting is ideal for outdoor events with tents. These lights provide a bright glow that can be as bright or as dim as the atmosphere requires. Up-lights can provide adequate lighting for the largest and smallest events. These lights are suitable for company picnics, weddings, festivals, and concerts.
Colored Lighting
Colored up-lighting adds drama to any event, making it a top pick for weddings and concerts. The choice of colors can be coordinated to fit the event and other event décor. Colored lighting can be used strategically to add interest to strategic areas or to décor elements.
String Lights
String lights are a great way to make an outdoor event feel like a night under the stars. With the right tent and drapes, string lights can also add a touch of elegance to a formal event. String lights can also make an outdoor event tent feel larger or more smaller and intimate. The same lights can do any of these functions, especially when coordinate with the right tents, tables, and décor. Because of their versatility, string lights are perfect for weddings, restaurant events, and corporate events.
Chandeliers
Chandeliers make a statement at any outdoor event, adding formality to any event. These beautiful, elegant lights can be combined with string lighting and pin lights for a dramatic effect. Chandeliers are a wonderful addition to a wedding, gala, or another formal outdoor event.
Paper Lanterns
Paper lanterns are whimsical, formal, or fun depending on the combination with other décor. At an event with neutral décor, white paper lanterns can blend for a seamless look. For an outdoor event with a more creative décor, colored paper lanterns are the pop of color that can put the event décor over the top. With a variety of looks, paper lanterns are suitable for weddings, open houses, staff events, and other outdoor events.
Projection
Projection lighting can set any outdoor event apart. This unique lighting can project newlywed names on a ceiling or the outline of dice onto the tent at a casino-themed event. This custom lighting adds an extra flair to any event, leaving guests in awe of the custom lighting that creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
Lamp Posts
Lamp posts are an event lighting option that fits with a variety of themes. These outdoor event lights are a classic touch that suits a throwback-themed event and vintage wedding. Lamp posts are a great way to illuminate a patio or gathering space or mark an entryway.
