Lighting is one of the most important factors in creating the atmosphere of an event. With the right lights, you can bring a space to life, highlight the theme of your event and impress your guests. Here are a few tips to help you successfully light your event:
1. Design the lighting according to the theme of the event
Each event has its own unique atmosphere. Choose the lighting colours and effects according to what you want to communicate to your participants. For example, warm and soft tones work for a relaxed atmosphere, while neutral or brand colours work for a corporate event. Our Radisson RED event is a good example of the latter.
2. Use a variety of lighting techniques
Boldly combine different types of lighting: spot lights, LED strip lights, colour washes and moving lights. Diverse lighting adds depth to a space and makes the overall effect more interesting. In this way, you can also divide a larger space into sections with different moods.
3. Avoid the most common lighting mistakes
One of the most common mistakes is lighting that is too bright or too dim. Test the lights beforehand on site to make sure that the lighting is pleasing to the eye and fits the mood of the event. Are there materials to be read at the event that require lighting? Also consider avoiding glare.
4. Consider lighting in your decorations
Remember to also use light as part of your event decoration. For example, light strips around table decorations or spotlights on key elements will add even more value to your decorations.
5. Take advantage of the expertise of a professional
