- How long does it take you to decorate your dance?
- How much does it cost?
- Is it really what you envisioned?
- How long does it take to tear down and return borrowed items?
- While Decorations can be very effective and awesome, it is very time consuming and very costly if you are trying to decorate an entire location. A good investment might be white pipe and drape. It can be used over and over. You can also rent it.
- With up-lighting you can Choose any color. Creates Variety.
- Setup is easy and fast.
- Production or rental company may do the work of setup and take down.
- Great for entrances and dance floor rooms.
- DMX Is a way for the lighting system to be synced with all of the up-lights used. It might cost a little more but imagine if all of the lights in the room changed colors or strobe to the beat of the music. It would be incredible!
- For maximum effect, use a light every 10’ feet or highlight areas of importance. Start with corners, beams/columns in the room or between windows and doorways. 4 to 8 per wall might be another rule of thumb.
- Colors set the mood. Sky’s the limit. School colors, black light, multi-color for more casual settings.
- Little or no decorations needed. Adding some white pipe and drape can be a useful tool to hide or create a smaller intimate room size.
- Things to remember
- Up-lights do not light the room, they are there to:
- Decorate
- Accent
- Ambient light
- To provide some light to a dark room
- Provides enough light to see in a dark room for administration. Leaving some gym lights on can take some of the experience away.
- Up-lights are bright
- Do not place in high traffic or where kids could be blinded
- Do not place in the middle of the floor – tripping hazard
- Cables, extension cords must be taped down
