rental of light balls | event & reception | paris
Light ball hire is a simple, effective and instantly recognisable way to create visual decoration. Placed in a garden, a courtyard, an entrance, around a terrace or along a pathway, light balls bring soft points of light that structure the space without any complex installation.
Light balls are particularly useful for outdoor events, corporate evenings, private receptions, cocktails, weddings, garden parties or product launches. Their round shape creates a more organic decorative effect than conventional projectors. They can be used to mark out an area, frame an entrance, punctuate a lounge space or give depth to planted decor.
In event scenography, light balls work very well in clusters. Several sizes or several points spread across the space create a more immersive effect than a single isolated piece. They can also be paired with fairy lights overhead and ambient spotlights at ground level to build a complete atmosphere.
- For an entrance: position light balls on either side of the walkway.
- For a garden: spread the light points near planted areas or circulation routes.
- For a terrace: create visual markers around seated and standing areas.
- For a photo area: combine light balls, illuminated plinths and a decorative backdrop.
The choice depends on the area, the visibility you want and the amount of light already present. In a brightly lit venue, light balls will play a mainly decorative role. In a darker space, they can become genuine wayfinding markers. You also need to think about positioning to avoid overly narrow walkways or the risk of them being knocked out of place.
Hiring light balls offers a flexible way to enrich a scenography without a heavy technical installation. They provide an immediate decorative effect and integrate easily with illuminated furniture, plants, arches, rugs or signage elements.
What are light balls used for at an event?
They are used to decorate, mark out and give depth to a space. They are useful for entrances, gardens, terraces, lounge areas or guest routes.
Are light balls suitable for an outdoor event?
Yes, they are often used outdoors. You need to check the model's compatibility, stability on the ground, the weather and the battery life or power supply required.
How many light balls should I plan?
For simple wayfinding, a few pieces may be enough. For a real scenographic effect, it is better to spread them out in groups or at regular intervals across the key areas.
Can light balls be mixed with fairy lights?
Yes. Fairy lights create light overhead, while light balls provide anchor points at ground level. The combination works very well outdoors.
Are light balls suitable for a photo area?
Yes, they can frame a photocall, planted decor or an entrance. You simply need to make sure they do not create awkward backlighting for the photos.
