The Illuminate Guide to Lighting Techniques
1. Uplighting
Uplighting is a technique where lights are placed on the floor and pointed upward to wash a wall, curtain or piece with light. The outcome is a warm and welcoming environment with a tinge of sophistication. (image with alt=”flickering colorful uplights against a white wall”)
2. Pattern Gobos
Gobos project monograms, patterns, or images onto a surface, wall or dance floor. They add an element of design to the chosen surface and can easily fit with event themes to give a personalized touch. (image with alt=”gobo pattern lighting illustrating a dance floor”)
3. Pin Spotting
Pin spotting is used to showcase the details. Whether the wedding cake, florals, or the centerpiece on each table, delicate pin spots ensure nothing goes unnoticed. (image with alt=”Pin spot lighting on elegant table setup”)
