Lighting & Uplighting Rentals in Arlington — FAQ
Do I need a permit for uplighting at an event in an Arlington County Park?
For most small-scale uplighting, a separate permit isn't usually required if it's part of a larger, permitted event. However, for extensive setups or anything requiring significant power, it's always best to consult with Arlington County Parks and Recreation.
Can your lighting equipment be used outdoors in case of rain?
Many of our lighting options are weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. Please specify your outdoor needs when booking, and we can recommend the appropriate IP-rated equipment to ensure safety and functionality in varying conditions.
What are the power requirements for your lighting rentals?
Most of our standard uplighting and accent lights operate on typical 120V outlets. For larger setups or extensive floodlighting, we can advise on dedicated circuit needs or generator options available for rent if venue power is insufficient.
How much does event lighting cost?
Uplights run $20–$45 each (typical event uses 12–24). Bistro lights price by the foot. Full lighting packages range $500–$3,000.
Is uplighting wireless?
Most modern uplights are battery-powered and color-changing via app — no cords on the floor.
Can I get a custom monogram?
Yes — most operators include a custom monogram gobo when booking dance-floor lighting.
