Summer is here in Australia and it’s the
perfect time to plan outdoor events. However, you need to have the best
lighting possible for it. If the event is scheduled to be held after the sun
sets, the right type of lighting must be considered to set the scene, keep
guests safe and make it possible to execute your event flawlessly. But, how do
you know what kind of lighting is the best?
Here are some tips to help you through the
process.
•
Where you need lighting
This is the most important aspect of when
choosing the lighting. Make a list of places where you need lighting, for
example, do you want to light up the entire event area or just provide lighting
in athletic benches, bleachers, food-service area or parking areas. This
decision is entirely up to you and depends on the kind of event you are
hosting. Whatever area you choose to light up just keep in mind that you need
to provide enough light to prevent tripping and other accidents.
•
How much lighting you need
Now that you know that where you need
lighting, you can easily find out how much of it you will need. It’s hard to
determine exactly how much lighting you will need, but having an idea of the
event space to light up can help you. If you are unsure, then good rule of
thumb is to hire more lighting. That way you will be more likely to have enough
as you set up for your event. Hiring lighting experts is a good choice as they
will help you better determine which areas to light up and how much.
•
The kind of mood you want
The type of lighting you use will help create
a mood and ambience at your event, so choose wisely. If you want a cheerful
mood or your event requires guests to be able to see details clearly, then
floodlights are perfect. These lights let out a very bright, clean light that will
bathe the entire space. If you want to add a touch of glamour, commercial festoon lighting is great.
Their design makes them ideal for covering a large area since they are meant to
be strung across a fence or trees or along stakes in the ground. These lights
are usually waterproof, so they are perfect to use outside. Festoon lighting
adds a charming, laid-back feel to your summer event.
The right kind of lighting will take your event from ordinary to amazing and with these tips, you can set the right mood for your event and pull off a perfect summer evening.
