Things you need to know before you rent lighting for your events

Updated: Nov 14, 2022

Lighting is an important element to consider for your event. #Eventlighting can dramatically transform your event experience and bring it from average to awesome. Besides setting the mood and creating a distinct atmosphere for an event venue and stage, lighting can also be used to highlight features such as culinary displays and floral arrangements, as well as cuing speakers and presentations.



With the advanced lighting displays available in the market, the possibilities are endless. Here, we’ll explore a few creative ways to use #eventlightingrental to set your event apart from the rest.


Here are the things to know about event lighting rental service.

1. Uplighting rental

Uplighting is a popular lighting effect created by strategically placing lighting fixtures on the floor and pointing them upwards. Uplighting can add depth and is an effective way to dramatically improve the ambience of your event, as well as highlight certain structural elements and dynamic fixtures. You can even choose coloured lighting that are aligned to your event’s colour theme!


2. Gobo lights rental


Gobo is a piece of stencil made of steel or glass placed in a lighting fixture. The gobo is used to change the shape of the emitted light. At themed events, Gobo lights can also be used to project patterns of leaves, your company logo or other shapes on the floor, ceiling and walls. At a wedding, couples may choose to project their monogram, names and wedding date. Since Gobo lighting can hardly go unnoticed, they are perfect for corporate events. Seeing your brand logo in bright, crisp lighting will create a visual impact that helps make your brand more memorable.


3. Spotlights rental


Spotlights can draw your audience’s attention to the speakers and guests of honour. Spotlights are also great for lighting up stages, runways and aisles.



4. String lighting and Fairy lights rental


String lighting and fairy lights are the perfect decorative lights for creating that lively and festive mood. Be it weddings, wedding proposals, Christmas events, Birthday parties, fairs or festivals, dressing up your event with these festive lights can definitely make it more fun and memorable. Plus, they make your photos look great! An important point to take note of is that there are 2 kinds of string light bulbs, the LED ones and the old-school tungsten ones that give the 'retro' feel at an event.

5. Light beam moving heads rental


Light beam moving heads are directional projection of light from a source. Light beam moving heads are often used for visual effects. Laser light beams can be used in combination with music to produce a light show effect. An experienced lighting programmer either a free-lance or from the event company works his magic on the lighting console to dazzle the audience. You can either choose to hire an experienced lighting programmer on your own or leave it to the event company that you engaged the light beam moving heads rental service from.

6. Custom decorative lights rental


Did you know that you can also custom design a lighting piece according to your needs and requirements. For example, for table centrepieces, to light up guests' tables in a beautiful way, you can engage an event company to custom make a glow in the dark lighted glass jar or a decorated glass jar with LED string lights.

7. Themed lighting packages


Did you know that you can also instruct the event company that you engage to provide you with a wedding and event lighting package that incorporates your event or wedding theme according to your budget? An experienced lighting designer, who is usually also the lighting programmer, works closely with the in-house or freelance professional decorator engaged by the event company to incorporate the event and wedding decorations with the event lighting to bring your event to the next level and make it truly memorable one. Give them a budget and watch them work their magic for you!
