Lighting and sound plays an important part of any event from weddings, special events, corporate functions to anything else that requires a splash of colour. Together, lighting and sound creates an atmosphere. Click on the gold buttons for lighting options, the blue buttons for sound, the red button for outdoor lighting, the green button for lighting by venues, the purple button for room transformation ideas and the orange button for light fixtures. We recommend you click on all the tabs and look at all our lighting pages to discover the different effects we can create for you.
Keep in mind if you are comparing companies that offer lighting, that not all lights are created the same. While some companies might offer you a lower price, the quality or the intensity of the light might also be lower, which will have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the room. There are also other factors when it comes to the price of lighting that are sometimes overlooked which include the care and attention we take to safely install, tape down and remove the lights as well as the type of stands we use that won’t fall over.
We encourage you to read all the information on the Light Fixtures page so you know that Quality Entertainment is using professional quality lights. We also want to point out that our photos were taken from our events and not from the manufacturer’s website or the internet. The work that our team creates stands out and will be the difference at your wedding or special event.
Light fixtures page. On this page are numerous light fixtures available to create a special look or atmosphere in the room, in a tent or outside. Knowing which fixtures to use for the best effect is important and something our team of experts have been trained to do. There are significant differences from lighting a small venue or restaurant to a large hotel ballroom or conference centre. The intensity of the lights, the power consumption, the angles of the lights, the hanging or the aiming of the fixtures and the effects that are chosen all play a role in the design. Selecting the best fixtures and installing them professionally and safely is important. You may want to choose your lights based on price but you may not obtain the effect you are looking for. It is also important to choose a company that uses CSA approved lights which are approved for use in Canada as not all companies are using these lights which can pose a fire hazard. CSA is the label that states the lights have been approved and tested for use in Canada.
Be Aware as seen on this page, there are different types of fixtures. Some décor companies, DJ services and individuals will purchase flood lights from the hardware store to keep their costs down. You might believe that you are getting a quality light from them when in fact you are getting a flood light. These are not approved lights for indoor use as they become very hot and offer no protection to your guests. If they are bumped or knocked over, they can cause a burn or lead to a fire.
LED Pars all look the same but are very different. Similar to an incandescent bulb in that you can be holding a 60 watt or a 150 watt bulb and they look the same. With LEDs you can have a 1 watt, 3 watt, 5 watt or even higher power LED and not see a difference in the fixture’s shape or size. The difference would be in the intensity of the light, number of LEDs in the fixture and the range of colors. Quality Entertainment offers higher watt LEDs for the best effect and selection of colors.
Par 64’s are powerful incandescent lights ideal for working with gels. A color gel or color filter, also known as lighting gel or simply gel, is a transparent colored material that is used for event lighting production. Gels are thin sheets of material placed in front of a lighting fixture in the path of the beam to give the light a different color. You can choose from hundreds of colors to match your theme, corporate colors or wedding décor by clicking on the name of our official supplier of gels – Lee Filters.
