Wedding Lites - Installation Guide
This section will try to explain how and where we can install the most common
types of wedding lighting.
This will hopefully provide you with some ideas or even answers as to what
can go where and what if any limitations there may be.
The most common form of wedding lighting is the floor standing uplighter.
This is a metal round-shaped can, roughly about 12" tall off the floor.
These are available from Weddinglites in a polished finish (not black).
The most common place for these lights is close to a wall, in corners or
around the sides of marquees.
The main concern with these lights is where and how the cables are to be
run in order to power and control the effects. Please think about cables
where doors or access points will be, distances as our lights cannot be
placed more than 5 meters apart. Remote units can be placed up to 20 meters
away though this can only be achieved for 2 units maximum the rest would
have to remain within the 5 meter limit between each unit. The First unit
in the chain can be 10 meters from where the DJ is setup, then up to 5 meter
intervals for the remaining units.
It will be possible to have 6 uplighters in one room and 6 uplighters in
another adjoining room, so long as the distance to the second chain of lights
is under 30 meters.
Moodbars can be placed remotely so long as a power outlet is within reach
of their intended position, when set to static colours these units only
require a power connection, if more complex routines are required then a
signal control cable must also be used to link the two panels, this cable
would probably need to navigate around or across doorways.
Moving heads are similar to Moodbars in the way they connect, these work
best positioned higher up such as on a balcony or lighting truss to provide
the best effect.
Please always remember about Health & Safety when thinking about special
lighting, trip hazards, cable laying and any chance of water ingress.
If you have further need of information, please send HeadlineDJ
an email with your questions and we will endeavor to answer them as best
we can.
