Lighting & Uplighting Rentals in Austin — FAQ
Do I need a permit for lighting at Zilker Park?
For larger setups or public events, a permit from Austin Parks and Recreation is likely required. For smaller, private gatherings, it often depends on the specific location and impact.
What power requirements do your uplights have?
Most of our LED uplights are energy-efficient and can run on standard outlets. For larger, more complex lighting rigs, we can advise on generator needs or dedicated circuits.
Can your lighting withstand Austin's summer heat or sudden storms?
Our outdoor lighting is rated for various weather conditions, but we always recommend sheltered placement during extreme heat or heavy rain. We can suggest appropriate weather-resistant options.
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.
