Uplighting & Conventional PARs

re: Uplighting & Conventional PARs

I know you're trying to do uplighting, but from how far away are we talking? lighting people standing on a riser? Are you lighting curtains from the floor? Are you hitting banners from the ground? Do you just need to wash something in light or do you need very tight control (shutters, zoom, etc.)?

Thanks Bill, we are making a decision today and will be calling you to place the order, sounds like a great package.

FYI - We just do social events & weddings not production(I think I put that in my intro and thought profile) but this will be just used to uplight walls etc at social events and weddings. Thanks for the replies!

So for up lighting a standard wall - Hotel Wall etc. Would a Par 38 work or would a Par 64 work better in your opinion? Also What bulb would you recommend we like to have Wash/Beam up the wall spaced every 8 feet or so.

If it is a standard catering hall wall <12' a 75 or 90 watt halogen lamp will do the job nicely. They are available in both 10 and 30 degree beam spreads. Personally I like using the 10 degree as it creates columns.

The problem with Par 64's is the smallest lamp is 500w and power rapidly becomes a problem.
