What is an uplighter and what is it used for?

An uplighter is a light placed low and aimed upward to wash walls, pillars or architectural features with colour and ambience. They’re popular for weddings, venues, stages and architectural accents.

What’s the difference between an uplighter and a wall washer?

Both create vertical washes. Uplighters are compact fixtures positioned on the floor; wall washers typically use wider optics for very even coverage on larger surfaces.

Do I need an IP-rated uplighter for outdoor use?

Yes, choose an IP-rated model (e.g., IP54 or higher) for outdoor and damp conditions.

How many uplighters do I need for a wedding venue?

As a guide, 8–12 fixtures for a small room, 12–20 for a medium hall, and 20+ for large spaces. Spacing is typically 2–3 metres apart along the perimeter.

Do your uplighters support DMX and wireless control?

Many models support DMX and wireless options for synchronised colours, fades and scenes; see individual product specs.

Are wireless uplighters suitable for all-evening events?

Choose models with 8–12 hours rated battery life to comfortably cover setup, event and breakdown. Dimmable scenes extend runtime.

Do you offer next-day delivery on uplighters?

Yes — many units are in UK stock for next-day dispatch. Check the product page for stock status.
