How many uplights should we get?

Back to Services

By far, this is one of the most frequent questions we're asked. While there's no right or wrong response, the official recommendation is to space each uplight approximately 6-12 feet apart. Each light is going to illuminate roughly a 3-4 foot wide area of wall, thus the more lights you use, the more color, light, and brightness you'll get.

Two easy questions to ask yourself:

Do you want to light the whole room or just a specific area?

Maybe you're trying to stick to a budget? Perhaps you think having too many lights will burn up all of grandma's rods and cones? Keep in mind you don't have to light the entire room to get a cool effect. You can focus your lighting on one wall, a specific area, or as a nice accent effect near the head table. There are lots of possibilities - Get creative!

How big is the room?

You don't have to break out a tape measure, just take into consideration what you are lighting. Is it a high school gym that can pack in 2,000 students? Is it a banquet room hosting a wedding for 200-300 guests? Is it one room at a private residence where you plan to have a dinner dance for 10-20 of your closest friends? The bigger the room - the more lights you'll need.
