Special Event & Wedding Up Lighting

Up Lighting is a subtle splash of light, usually colored, on the perimeter of walls. This is not to be confused with wall washing which turns walls into one solid color. Tone down the house lights and the room takes on a rich, warm, comfortable and romantic atmosphere.
Lighting can be used in a variety of ways. It can define a given area, entrance or art piece.  It can create a given mood or bring out a particular theme.

Traditional stage up lights use a bulb and a colored gel to create the effect desired. They come in a variety of colors...amber, cherry red, fucshia, cool blue, lavender, green and many others.  The up lights are positioned against the base of walls and shine upward creating a wonderful splash of color, placed every few feet as the room takes on this wonderful tinge, including existing sconces and chandeliers.

Led up lights utilize three color “eyes”, red, green and blue and from the mixing of these colors a myriad of colors are possible. LEDs can also be changed easily by a lighting controller, and can even fade into one color after another. A lighting tech is always on hand to alter colors if needed. The LEDs are also placed on the perimeter of the walls. LEDs require very little wattage. Sometimes we recommend this type of lighting if the facility’s electrical power is limited. A bit more expensive than the stage up lights, we still offer led up lighting combined with some stage up lights at a very reasonable rate. Again, the emphasis with PCS Events is to have enough up lights to create our unique and recognizable up lighting experience for a true WOW effect!
