Wash Lights

There are three types of lights within this category that can all be used for a stage wash lighting effect. These include wireless uplighters, LED PAR cans and LED light bars. When spread out and positioned correctly on a stand or fixture, these lights will create a wall of constant light rather than a pattern like you would see with a LED effects light.

The majority of our LED wall washer lights have DMX functionality, allowing you to connect them to a lighting rig and use them in unison with other lighting fixtures. For larger stage productions where you will be using multiple wash lights to achieve the wall of light effect, DMX is an important feature. This is because you have the ability to make each light change colour or fade in/out at the same time, making for a more professional looking light show.

While the majority of our wash lights are suitable for large stages, they are also great for smaller rooms or stages. Wash lights are usually used for weddings or marquee events, as they can perfectly light up walls around the room, providing a polished and smart-looking effect.

A common feature of our wash lights is sound-to-light activation whereby the light can change colour whenever the built-in microphone picks up any sound. For karaoke nights or gigs where there is loud music, this provides a satisfying effect as the light will interact with the sounds.

How Do I Choose A Wash Light?

There are many different factors to consider when looking for LED wash lights. One of the main ones is colour possibilities. If you only need a select few colours achievable on the lights then you won't need to go for the higher-end products in this range. If, however, you will need to achieve many different colours for different events, you'll need a unit that offers more than the standard RGB colour mixing.

Another factor to consider when purchasing wall washer lights is the projection that each unit offers. If you only need to light up small wall and floor surfaces then you won't need an overly powerful large unit, a smaller light with lower wattage LEDs would suffice.

Of course, budget is an important aspect to think about when choosing LED wall washer lights. For example, if you need to light up an entire marquee or wedding venue, you'll need several fixtures to achieve the best effect and cover all surfaces of the venue. This can get expensive, but we offer many different wash lights that are low in cost while still offering bright and crisp displays of colour.

If you are going to be using LED washers in a variety of locations and events, it may be wise to choose wireless uplighters with integrated rechargeable batteries. Mains power sockets may not always be available to you, however, if you are planning on using the lights in one venue constantly then this may not be a factor that needs consideration.

We also offer many LED wash lights that are weatherproof, giving you the ability to use them outdoors without the worry of damage. With all of these factors in mind, it will be much easier to make a decision that works best for your intended use.

DMX LED Wall Washers

Many of the uplighting wall washers in our range feature DMX connections. These give you the ability to use them with a DMX setup, whether it is big or small, providing full control over the light fixtures and the effects they are producing. This includes colour, fade, strobe and jump at any given time you like.

By using DMX with LED wall washers, you have the ability to control all of them at once to perform the same effects and colours. This is particularly great for weddings, as it means that all of the light fixtures will be synchronised so that the room is lit up in the same colour at all times.

DMX control is also great for stage lighting, as you can program your own 'Show' whereby the light fixtures will produce certain custom effects and colours at a chosen time. In stage performances, this keeps the stage wash lighting units in time with the performance, and it also helps convey the theme of a performance easily.

The DMX connections on many of our LED wall washers also provide the ability for the lights to be operated in master/slave mode. This means that you don't need to use external DMX equipment like controllers or software on a PC, as more than one light simply links up using a DMX cable and the master/slave mode is choosable in the menu on the lights themselves.

Master/slave synchronisation means that you can set one fixture to one colour or show and then connect a second 'slave' unit so that it is performing the same effect, colour or show at the same time, providing a professional-looking synchronised light display.
