What's up guys? Dj ESG on Spending Device, season number 10, and today I'm talking about lighting and how too much lighting makes a room that's not fully occupied look way too big. I had two, not one, two brides call me this weekend about their upcoming events, asking me about uplights and how they should go about booking uplights, whether or not yay or nay, based on the room size and how many people they were having. Well, let me throw this out of you. Most rooms have a specific number of people that they can max out at Dance floors 20 by 20, 24 by 24 are set for those numbers to hold the amount of people that they think are going to get up out of their seats, based on a 42 to 46 round table with 10 to 12 per table to get up during the event and dance. Now if you have up lights going around the room and you have 200 and some people, let's say 250, and it maxes out at 250, that's fine Because you're making the room look bigger or the size that it needs to be. No-transcript case. If you have, let's say, half the people that make that room full and half the people that make that room occupied, then you want to make that room look half the size and doing that almost like a vignette.

When you make a photo, you take the outside, you darken it up, you bring it in and you put everything in the center as opposed to making everything look bright on the outside. Now how do you do that? You turn the lights down all the sconces on the outside of the room. You turn down the overhead lights. You have lights on the dance floor, almost like at a club from the 80s 90s. They want people to go to have a good time.

If you're sitting in a booth having bottle service, you're not sitting next to, like, a bright LED light that's going to spotlight on you and your crew. They're hiding you. You're sort of hidden with just you and the people that you're with, because you're an afterthought, not to the club but to the dance floor. On the dance floor they want you partying and they want to make the dance floor look as packed as humanly possible, because who wants to dance in a room that looks like you can do surgery and who wants to dance in a room where you can be watched? Think about it. It's great advice. If you don't understand the thing I just said, call me 267-303-8393 and I'll send you photos. I'm DJ ESG. Peace, love and God above, and I'll be back. Bye-bye.
