Wireless Weddings

Wireless Weddings


How can wireless lighting benefit weddings? Does it make sense to use wireless lighting, which is typically more expensive, for your clients’ big day? Here is a list of the advantages of wireless weddings:


TABLE CENTERPIECES

Every wedding has large tables, and that requires stunning centerpieces. With wireless lighting, you can place a colour-changing ornament in the center, which can also be synched with all the other tables to change colour and effect at the same time. Furthermore, this is only really plausible with wireless lighting since it’s seamless and doesn’t require cables, which can look hideous on a day where everything must be perfect.

Recommended Astera Products: AX3 Lightdrop™ and AL3-S MiniLightdrop™

These two products are small, compact and have long battery runtimes. They can be used with Astera centerpieces (bubble stick and small spheres) or be built into your own construction. No cables, and being very small, make this a possibility. The great thing is that you can just use the AX3 and place a clear glass vase on top and “hey presto!”… You have a nice and quick centerpiece.


QUICK SET UP

Since wedding venues are usually only rented for one day, there is always a mad rush to get everything set up and rigged in time. This is where wireless lighting can help tremendously. Less cables means less staff needed to lay the cables, transport equipment and to maintain/program the equipment to play desired effects. Saving time means you need less rental time, and also less pack-up time. These are all going to impact your profit margins, whether you’re a mobile DJ or a fully-fledged event company.

These lights not only have tons of effects to choose from, with lovely rich colours, they are also waterproof which is ideal for outdoor weddings in places where there are no power outlets (on the beach, for example). Furthermore, wireless lights can constantly be tweaked and moved within seconds to find the optimal angle for illumination (for example, when lighting up trees and buldings).


FLAWLESS APPEARANCE

Much the same as the two previous benefits, but when lighting up walls with wallwasher fixtures, cables are even more prominent and they really restrict the movement you can apply to each fixture. For wired set ups, cables are sometimes covered (which takes time) or they are left to be seen (which looks ugly), so when moving a fixture the cables will be disrupted and it takes even more time to conceal them again. With wireless lights, none of these issues are present.

Not only are they wireless, they also come in white for weddings, which allows the lights to fit seamlessly into the overall event aesthetic.
