Bay Stage Lighting: Lighting Trends & Misperceptions

What are the latest lighting trends?

LED up-lighting is new and very common for events. Bay Stage Lighting has been recognized as LED innovators due to their expertise with the fixtures. Here are 4 reasons why LEDs are perfect for any event:

1.) Each fixture uses the combination of three colors, red, green and blue (RGB) to produce over 16 million different colors.

2.) Cost and energy efficient as well as safe, generating little to no heat.

3.) Small and compact while illuminating high intensity light (keep in mind this doesn’t always mean “bright” light)

4.) Fixtures can constantly be controlled, changing lights throughout an event, with a click of a button

Are there any misperceptions with lighting?

Many people don’t consider lighting as a necessity for event design, but it is. Even the simplest lighting can transform any space. No other décor element can evoke guests’ emotions or create dramatic ambiences like lighting can.

We also hear “I don’t have a large enough budget to incorporate lighting,” when in reality, funds just

need to be reallocated. Top event planners around the nation are advising their clients to forgo expensive accessories and spend on lighting, which is cheaper, since lighting has a larger impact. With good lighting, no one will think twice about where the expensive linens or centerpieces went.

These pictures from the 2010 Sun Coast Hospice Ball, showcase the LED trend and that no matter what, a room doesn't look complete without lighting.
