Here’s how we can help…
Impress Guests with Architectural Christmas Lighting
There are two types of architectural lighting – interior and exterior. The building’s design is at the core of this lighting genre, which focusses on highlighting the most attractive features. Whether that’s a high roof, ornate ceiling, walls, a sweeping staircase, a spectacular entrance, contemporary or historic architecture.
When we design and install architectural lighting it infers exclusivity and magical scene. Therefore, it is destined to impress your guests and immerse them in that all-important festive spirit.
Outdoor Garden Lighting
As well as architecture, gardens can be made to look equally impressive for Christmas events. Outdoor spaces, trees and shrubs can become quite magical when lit with coloured LED flood lights and uplighters, pealight and festoon.
Having endured a year and half of lockdowns, gardens and outdoor spaces have given us so much pleasure. So, why not take this opportunity to show them in all their glory? Better still, why not introduce a garden walk to your itinerary. Guests can start or finish their evening with a magical tour of the gardens before the main event.
Decorative Festive Lighting
Decorative lighting can be used to compliment or replace of traditional Christmas decorations both indoors and outdoors. For example, we use intelligent LED lighting to project shapes (gobos) onto walls, floors and ceilings. For the festive season, we could project snowflakes, stars, trees, or indeed any shape of your choice. The projected shapes can be programmed to move around the room and to music if you desire.
In addition to the moving lights, we can colour wash walls in any hue, pea-lights and festoon can be strung around the venue, and generic lighting can illuminate specific zones.
Projection
With professional projection you can illuminates internal or external walls with any scene, image or video.
You can capture the interest of your guests with a winter wonderland scene, a message from Santa himself, or a montage of festive films. Alternatively, engage your guests in the décor by projecting their photos or a message. Projection can be successfully rendered on internal and external walls, a set or screen.
Party Lighting
Forget DJ disco lighting, this is your chance to create the ultimate party lighting. We can design and programme a lighting scheme that is destined get your guests up off their seats in the in the party mood.
We can provide a lighting rig, complete with LED moving lights and battens offering colour precision in the form of washes, beams and spots.
