Uplighting refers to lights placed at floor level that project color upward onto walls, columns, or architectural features. At events, they're used to wash a room in your event color, highlight focal points like a head table or altar, and create a professional ambiance that transforms an ordinary venue into something memorable.

A general rule is one uplight per 8–10 linear feet of wall you want to cover. For a full room wash, plan for one light every 6–8 feet around the perimeter. A 60x40ft ballroom typically needs 16–20 uplights for complete coverage. Our uplighting guide has detailed recommendations by room size.

Wired uplights plug into a standard wall outlet and are ideal when outlets are accessible along the walls of your venue. Wireless uplights run on a built-in rechargeable battery — no cords, no outlet access needed — making them easier to position anywhere in a space. Both produce the same quality of light and color range.

Each uplight has an on-board digital display with simple button controls. You enter a color code — we provide a full color reference on our color configuration page — and the light locks to that color instantly. No experience required, and the whole process takes under a minute per light. If you'd prefer, we're happy to set the uplight color for a nominal fee. Select this option at checkout for your rental.

Our outdoor wireless uplights are rated for outdoor use, making them the ideal choice for tent events, outdoor ceremonies, and covered patios — no cords or outlet access needed. Most of our uplights are designed for indoor use only. If your event is outdoors or in a tent, filter to our outdoor wireless uplight.
