Lighting Services – How We Bring Your Event to Life

So much goes into the planning and success of an event. Much of it is behind the scenes. Lighting is one of those aspects that, if done correctly, will often go unnoticed. Yet, if done poorly, it becomes the focus of your guests. At Planet DJ Event Lighting, it’s our mission to ensure your event lighting plays the role it’s meant to play: as the perfect complement for your entire event. We offer a variety of services and packages to meet your needs. Our lighting specialists will consult with you to determine how best we can help your event succeed. We offer the following event lighting services:

An elegantly decorated event hall with a lit stage, draped red curtains, and arranged chairs.

An elegantly lit banquet hall with a stage and circular light fixtures on the ceiling.

Decor LED Lighting

LED (which stands for light-emitting diodes) are a popular choice in event lighting because use far less electricity and don’t get as hot as traditional, incandescent light bulbs. LEDs can also be wireless, meaning they can be far more discreet, and are ideal for color changes and vibrant colors.

Up-Lighting and Accenting

Up-lighting is a source of light that casts upwards to project light off a wall or a particular object (such as curtains, drapes, or the ceiling). It can completely transform a room, particularly when combined with colored lighting. Accent lighting uses the same idea, but directs the light to objects around the room to draw attention to them. You may choose accent lighting to illuminate a walkway or a particular piece of artwork or object.

Pin Spot Lighting

Pin Spots are a focused beam of light that shines directly onto an object. Unlike up-lighting or accenting, pinspot lighting is far more direct light and is a popular choice for centerpieces and wedding cakes as a highlight effect.
