If your event takes place during the evening or continues after sunset, lighting becomes essential—not just for ambience, but for visibility and safety. Even daytime events in marquees or covered structures may need extra lighting, especially on overcast days.

Things to Consider Before You Hire
Type of Event & Desired Atmosphere
A wedding or garden party might benefit from soft fairy lights for a romantic glow, while a corporate function or evening market may need brighter, more practical lighting like uplighters or LED mains lighting. Choose lighting that complements your theme and enhances the guest experience.
Venue Size & Structure
Larger tents or outdoor areas require more extensive lighting coverage. Stretch tents and marquees can benefit from festoon lighting along the edges or across the ceiling, while small gazebos may only need a party bar or 3-way LED setup. Uplighters work well for highlighting architectural features or garden spaces.
Power Supply & Access
Most of our lighting options require access to a standard 13amp power source. Battery-powered options like our uplighters offer flexibility where mains power isn’t available. Always check power availability at your venue, and let us know if you have limited access—we can advise accordingly.
Weather & Durability
All our lighting options are weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use, but consider how exposed your setup will be. For open-air events, ensure cables and equipment are safely secured and protected from the elements.
Installation & Placement
Think about where lighting will have the most impact. Festoon and fairy lights can be wrapped around poles or draped across ceilings for decorative charm. Uplighters are great for dramatic effects, while party bars offer dynamic, colourful lighting from a central tripod.
Guest Numbers & Activity
Larger crowds may require more ambient lighting to maintain visibility and mood throughout the event space. If you’re planning dancing or entertainment, lighting that syncs to music (like the Beamz Party Bar) can energise the atmosphere.
Event Purpose (Practical vs. Decorative)
Exhibitors and market traders may need lighting that prioritises brightness and clarity, like our 3-Way LED Mains Lights. Decorative lighting such as fairy lights or festoons is more suited for weddings, private functions, or dining experiences.
