Uplighting (AKA mood lighting) is a popular lighting effect used to elevate the feeling of a room. Pillars of light are created by placing small lights on the floor, and aiming them up.
Have you ever looked at a picturesque wedding or special event and found yourself blown away by both the details of the space and the intimate ambience of the occasion? You might have uplighting to thank for that! It's one of the easiest and most affordable ways to dress up a regular room into something extravagant.
Emphasise the décor elements around the walls, curtains and columns.
Set the uplights to a colour that ties in with the event.
Guests always notice the uplighting and continually comment on how much it brings out the beauty of an event. It makes bland photos pop, and gives ordinary candid’s during dancing the real wow-factor that your event deserves!
Uplighting is ideal for venues where the existing lighting isn't the most flattering. Not only does it set the mood as the party transitions from dinner to drinks and dancing, but it's also going to keep an area glowing for guests to mingle when all the other lights go out.
Discreet and versatile wireless uplights can be positioned wherever you want, with no clunky cables to trip over. They will come fully-charged, and run up to 7 hours on battery power.
The LEDs don’t heat up the way traditional bulbs do; they remain cool to the touch all night, meaning there is no concern of children burning themselves, or any drapery catching on fire.
The uplights can be controlled from anywhere in the room, using one little RF remote control or via the DJ booth. They all sync up instantly.

Uplighting can be set to almost any colour — but the goal isn’t choice for the sake of it. It’s about creating a mood that feels intentional, balanced, and right for your space.
If you already have a colour scheme, uplighting can echo one of those tones to unify the room — tying together table styling, florals, dresses, or branding elements in a subtle, cohesive way.
In other cases, contrast works beautifully. A complementary colour can act as an accent, adding depth without overwhelming the space. Warm whites, soft ambers and gentle ivories are especially versatile, pairing effortlessly with most palettes while keeping the atmosphere elegant and timeless.
Shade matters just as much as colour.
Lighter, pastel tones create a soft, romantic feel. Deeper shades bring drama and focus, making lighting a stronger visual feature. Neither is right or wrong — it simply depends on the mood you want to create.
And don’t worry about getting it perfect on paper. Lighting can evolve through the evening — starting soft and refined, then deepening as the night builds. I’ll guide those choices and adjust things in real time so the room always feels right for the moment.
I’ll help you choose the right number of uplights and design a setup that suits your space perfectly.
