There was a time when having a live band, or orchestra, or DJ, was all you needed to make your wedding, Mitzvah, class reunion, festival or corporate event a big success. Now, party planners who want to set their events apart from the crowd, have an exciting new option - uplighting.
Yes, uplighting has been around for years. You've seen those stunning columns of light at theaters, in museums, on the outsides of 5-star hotels, and at grand affairs everywhere. But advancements in technology have made dramatic uplighting available to almost everyone who plans a big party. Let's hit some of the highlights (pun intended):
LED - Once, an uplight essentially consisted of a giant can with a red-hot light bulb inside. The can was mounted on a holder that allowed it to be tilted in any direction. A colored sheet of clear heat-resistant plastic (known as a gel) was placed in a flat holding tray over the light, so the light could be projected in a chosen color.
But now, thanks to LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology, the old bulb has been replaced by dozens or even hundreds of light dots. By digitally adjusting and balancing the colors of those dots, the resulting beam of light can now be projected in practically any color, and even changed from moment to moment, without having to change that sheet of colored plastic.
Another advantage of LED lights is that they emit virtually no heat; so a curious child can't burn himself on an LED light, or tip it over and set the room on fire.
