The venerable uplight, a most versatile effect. Let's take a look at some of the options, and discuss what it is and what it isn't.
First, an uplight is not a type of light fixture, but a "position." That is, an uplight is positioned on or near the floor, and pointed up, mostly along a wall or column. Any type of light fixture can be used, with varying success, as an uplight.

The early uplights were conventional PAR cans, first used in concerts, theater, etc. The color is selected by a gel film. At left is "Apollo Gold," which we often use when a client requests a "candle" glow.

Not only is it possible to change the color of the light, but to also change the beam width or "spread." You can choose anything from a Very Narrow Spot (VNSP) to a Wide lamp, although these must changed at the shop. How do you choose the right beam spread? Just give us a call, and we'll recommend options based on your design.
LED uplights offer a number of benefits, but like every tool, they aren't right for every job. Where LED products excel is on ease of ability to change colors throughout an event. Some have internal programs which can be utilized, while others can be controlled via a controller.
We also offer an uplight system that can move and chase, creating a very immersive party experience. Coupled with other lighting effects we can provide, we'll create an environment like no other. Below is a video of our moving uplights.
We're always available to discuss what is right for you.
