Uplights are one of the most popular lighting options used at weddings and other social events. But the wide range of prices and products can be confusing. Here's a guide to help you through.
The two most commonly used products for uplighting are conventional par cans and LEDs. They both have their strengths and weaknesses.
| Conventional Par Can | LED |
| Typically A Little Brighter | Typically Not Quite As Bright |
| Uses More Electricity | Uses Less Electricity & More Environmentally Friendly |
| Requires A Gel Which Can't Be Changed During The Event | Nearly Infinite Color Choices |
