Whether you are hosting a house party or an event in a pub or hall, lighting is key for the theme. These party light packages all have something different to offer and are all suitable for different events. For example, our UV light packages will be suitable for Halloween parties, while our light and bubble machine packages will be great for discos.
With the bonus of a smoke machine in a lot of our disco kits, you can be sure that the lights will look as impressive as possible. Smoke will always make a light display look better as the beams or rays produced by the lights will be visible, which gives the display the disco feel that you would expect.
Another item included in our disco kits are stands. These are either tripod stands or floor mounted stands, and these are great to set up the lights in a position that they will work best in. Say you want a spot light aimed directly at a mirror ball for that classic disco effect, we have packages that come with a floor stand so you can mount the light onto this, making it easily achievable.
Carry bags are also common in these kits, which makes for easy portability should you need to transfer the equipment between events. They are also great for general storage to keep the lights in mint condition if you are not going to be using them regularly.
Disco light packages include many different types of disco lights such as UV lights, as well as having packages that include things like smoke machines and bubble machines, which both enhance the effects of lights.
Other disco light packages feature tripod or floor mounted stands too, with things like carry bags also being a common item in these kits.
Also known as blacklights, UV disco lights are a type of artificial light source commonly used in dance clubs, parties, and other entertainment venues. These lights emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation and make bright colours such as white, neon pink, and luminous yellow glow in the dark.
Jelly balls are compact and effective lighting devices that use multiple LEDs to create different patterns. They are very similar to LED disco balls, since they emit beams of light around an area or room, and the colour of the light beams can be changed to different colours, depending on the jelly ball’s colour options.
These are a great, more cost-effective alternative to disco balls, since they are smaller and more suitable for home use.
Smoke machines can improve lighting in several ways. Firstly, when a beam of light passes through the fog produced by a smoke machine, the whole of the beam is visible rather than just the end of it on a surface.
Additionally, by adding a layer of fog to a performance space, smoke machines can help to create a particular mood or atmosphere. This can help to enhance the impact of lighting effects, making them more noticeable and effective.
Light stands are used to hold and support lighting equipment, such as strobe lights and UV lights in a stable and adjustable position. They are an essential tool for anyone working with lighting in a studio or on location.
The primary purpose of light stands is to provide a stable base for lighting equipment, preventing it from falling or tipping over during use. This is particularly important when working with heavy or bulky lighting equipment, which can be difficult to balance on a flat surface.
Light stands are also adjustable, allowing users to change the height and angle of the lighting source if needed. This makes it easier to control the direction and intensity of the light, creating different effects and moods in the final images or videos.
Buying packages is normally better than buying singular items. One reason for this is because it normally gives you all the required equipment necessary to set up a complete system.
Another reason for this is because a package would offer you equipment you might be looking to buy separately, for cheaper.
Strobe lights work by flashing a bright light at regular intervals, typically ranging from one second to several milliseconds. This creates the illusion of a continuously lit area being rapidly lit and darkened, which can create a sense of movement or energy in the environment.
Strobe lights are normally used in places such as concerts, clubs and stage performances; it can really enhance any show with its unique lighting effect.
Smoke/fog machines are devices that produce a vapour or mist used for theatrical, cinematic, or special effects purposes. They work by heating a liquid, usually glycol or water-based fog fluid, to produce a dense fog or mist that can be controlled and directed by the user.
Bubble machines are devices that produce lots of soap bubbles. They work by using a motorised fan to blow air through a rotating wheel or wand that dips into soap. The soap is then dispersed into the air, creating a stream of bubbles.
Bubble machines are often used for entertainment purposes, especially for children's parties, weddings, and other outdoor events. They come in different sizes and designs, from handheld models to large, professional-grade machines that can create thousands of bubbles per minute.
Carry bags and flightcases are great for protecting equipment during transportation and storage. Carry bags are lightweight and compact and are designed to hold smaller, lighter pieces of equipment. They also have additional pockets/compartments for storing other accessories like batteries, memory cards and/or cables.
On the other hand, flightcases are more for bigger, heavier bits of equipment meant to be transported on a longer journey. Depending on the size of the case, some cases can hold multiple pieces of large equipment at one time, which means you don’t need too many flightcases to transport all of your fixtures with you.
